Practical Magic
Your essential guide to the equipment that counts in the wholefood kitchen
FOUNDATION CLASS
Whilst a wholesome meal begins with quality ingredients, the tools we use certainly contribute to the end result. I believe a few well chosen pieces of quality equipment can make your experience of cooking easier, more successful, even enjoyable.
Pots and Pans
Stainless steel, cast iron or enamel? Discover which materials conduct and diffuse heat best and why this is so important. You really don't need a lot, rather just a few well chosen ones that will deliver the goods.
Knives and Sharpening
A good knife is a thing of wonder. It has the magical ability to make chopping quicker and easier. Buying said knife can be impenetrable maze - let alone keeping it sharp. All that's about to change.
Mix, Stir and Whisk
Sieving, straining and weighing too. I'll show you the best tools to make the job so much easier. Then we'll talk food processors, blenders, grain mills and rollers when you are ready for the next step.

"... secondly, a very long overdue THANK YOU. I took the time, saved my money, did my homework and upon your recommendation purchased a complete new set of cookware, cast iron dutch oven, a few knives and good chopping boards. I cannot begin to tell you how having the right tools has changed my cooking experiences. It just makes food prep so much more pleasurable. Your useful list of kitchen tools has saved me and I am sure many others from finding cooking a chore.

A little bit about me
As a pioneer, leader and respected authority of the wholefoods industry, I’ve been living a wholefood life long before ‘wholefood’ was a buzzword for healthy living. It’s taken me years to learn what I know, but a lifetime to truly understand what I know and place it within a wholistic framework.
I’ve always believed that food is not something that simply stops us from feeling hungry. It is exactly the same as love, an elemental human need and together, they sustain and nourish the body and the soul. It is never just about the food we eat. It is always about nourishing both the body and soul, and this philosophy is at the heart of what I call a wholistic approach.
Yes, it’s a jungle out there, with so much confusing information telling you what wholesome, healthy, ethical and sustainable eating is all about. I love giving you the information and practical tools that you need to carve an achievable path through it all.
My wholistic approach condenses everything that I’ve learnt, practiced and refined over 20 years of teaching and writing 5 bestselling, award winning wholefood books. I adore it when my students report the positive changes for the better in their lives. I know it works, and I know that it will effect delicious, nourishing changes for you and those you love, far more easily than you may think possible.
