On the 8th March we were joined by local Naturopath Gabby Scott in a workshop to tackle the big ‘D’ or Detoxing. Gabby’s very common sense approach to health really resonated with us and especially her assurances that detoxing should NOT be about suffering and crisis but more about nourishment and respect of our truly incredible (and constantly detoxing) bodies.

We feasted on body friendly treats and have all fallen in love with broth! Broth Broth Broth – it’s easy, it’s versatile, it’s so so good for you. Below is Gabby’s simple Broth recipe. It’s important to use bones from organic, pastured animals. With winter approaching what better time to start incorporating Broth into your daily life.

Ingredients:

2 x chicken frames (carcass), 500g chicken necks/wings, 1 pigs trotter (for extra gelling).

  1. Coarsely chop vegetables and add them to a slow cooker with the herbs and spices.
  2. Add vinegar, chicken bones etc, and top with water.
  3. Cook for 12 hours.
  4. Strain and discard all solids.
  5. Refrigerate the broth. Skim the fat off the top if you struggle with fat digestion.
