Posted by kathryn in Autumn and Spring
- Pomegranate honey: I love this idea via Katrina of Kale for Sale for honey with pomegranates. I’m storing this recipe away for Autumn when Australian pomegranates come into season
- Don’t detox: I’ve never believed in detoxing and I heartily agree with this short piece from The Guardian – the doubtful dividends of detox diets.
- Re-evaluating your 2009 health resolutions: A bit self-referential this one, as I’m pointing you to a piece I wrote for my clinic website – asking what happened to your 2009 New Year resolutions?
- Food ideas for the current season: Over at A Life (Time) of Cooking Ganga has written a lovely summary of food ideas for Spring and Autumn. I particularly like the look of the zucchini curry in the spring section.
- Vegetarian diets: The oh so sensible Marion Nestle writes about vegetarian diets and asks if they’re okay. With her calm and realistic voice, I wish there were more people like her writing about food.
- Wintery pasta: Lovely dish from Wendy of A Wee Bit of Cooking for Savoy cabbage, anchovy and herb pasta. There’s loads of flavour and with fresh herbs, onion and cabbage, a reasonable amount of vegies too.

Hi Kathryn, another set of wonderful links, diverse, interesting and healthy! Thanks for the link, it is lovely to be part of your quicklinks.
I enjoyed the article on vegetarian diets. It’s great to hear that there’s no need for complicated combinations to get enough protein.
Excellent collection as usual, Kathryn. I know when my time for food blog reading is limited, I should always start with your Quick Picks.
Yes, I liked Marion Nestle’s “plain language” post. I only wish she would have included some links to reliable vegetarian and vegan web sites where people can find answers to questions.
Kathryn, great blog! As a vegetarian and budding Nutritionist myself who will be focusing on vegetarian/vegan nutrition once qualified, one of the things that annoys me is the misinformation about vegetarians. Nestle’s definition further confuses the issue, I believe. Vegetarians don’t eat any meat or fish. What are your thoughts on Nestle’s definition of a vegetarian in her post? I’ve been reading a lot of Nestle lately and I really like her but this one issue irks me.
Always look forward to your Friday links. Interesting reading guaranteed!
Rand(Om) Bites – hello and welcome to Limes & Lycopene. I agree with you wholeheartedly about the confusion and misinformation on vegetarian diets. I have less of a problem with Nestle’s piece, as I think she’s reflecting the definitions and perspectives that are in the general population. I’ve met many people who classify themselves as vegetarian but who still eat chicken, fish and even the odd bit of bacon. Which means her piece is less prescriptive about what a vegetarian should be and instead concentrates on the nutritional issues around those food choices.
Thanks Heather, Ganga, Arwen and Elaine – I’m glad you’ve found some juicy reading fodder in there.
great links as always – re marion nestle, I agree with random bites that it is a little confusing – the nutrients for a vegetarian who does not eat any flesh are different from those who eats a bit of fish or chicken. so as a vegetarian, I am not sure if she is referring to my diet when she is vague. However it is good that she is saying not to worry. I am more concerned about if I feel brave enough to try pomegranate honey – sounds amazing
