Hi there, I’m Kathryn and this is my blog, welcome.

I live in the inner west of Sydney (with my partner, Richard, our cute-but-dumb cat Trilby and two pet ratties – Baguette and Espresso).

And I’m a naturopath . I see clients privately at the beautiful Strand Arcade, and I also write and teach about all things food, health and naturopathy related.

Ever since I can remember food and health have been central to my life. Snippets from childhood include: a summer of sharing first nectarines with dad; mum making a rabbit cake for my ninth birthday; Turkish delight at Christmas; making creme caramel from a packet with mum; swapping sandwiches with friends. Big decisions have been made around these themes, from realising as a teenager how food affected my health, becoming a vegetarian, through to the decision to become a naturopath

And food and health dominate my relationships with my family, partner and friends: laughing with mum about our mutual habit of changing recipes in fundamental and bizarre ways (Hungarian Mushroom Pie anyone?); marking occasions with my family around a meal; fussing over friends’ diets; cooking and catching up with Richard at home.

Then I became a naturopath, and food, diet and health are now the foundations of my professional, as well as personal life.

And now blogging . . .

This blog will definitely be about food – about cooking, recipes, the joy and excitement I get from ingredients, but it will also be about health, cutting through the rubbish, contradictions, misinformation and downright silliness that is out there about health, diet and naturopathy.

So, thank you for reading, and if you enjoy or get something useful from my blog, I’d love to know.
