German apple pancake recipe:400g flour40g coconut sugar4 eggs400ml milk (I use soy milk)1 teaspoon vanillaPinch of salt2 apples (grated, diced or thin slices all work)1 tablespoon ghee (for the pan or skillet when cooking)Separate the eggs and whisk the whites until you get soft peaks. Set aside in the fridge. Add sugar, vanilla, milk, salt and flour to the egg yolks and whisk until very well combined. You can use a stand mixer for this recipe. Add little sparkling water if the mixture seems to stiff. Now carefully fold in the egg whites and finally your apples. Cook both sides in a greased pan/ skillet on medium heat until they are golden and cooked through. Make them any size you like and served with nut butter or cinnamon sugar or really anything you can think of.#apfelpfannkuchen #gesundesfrühstück #germanpancakes #pancakerecipe #pfannkuchenrezept by @cultured.folk

Sauerkraut is the hero of probiotic superfoods!! It seriously does not get better than this. It is so good for your gut and overall health, so simple to make and really just lifts any dinner bowl or lunch salad to the next level.#darmgesund #fyp #sauerkraut #guthealth #fermentation by @cultured.folk

Is it just me, or are most energy balls either dry, ridiculously sweet or basically just nut butter rolled into a ball? I’ve tried so many over the years, and I always end up reaching for a piece of dark chocolate instead.These are the exception.They’re soft, moist, taste just like carrot cake and use simple wholefood ingredients without relying on loads of honey, maple syrup or nut butter to make them edible.If you’re after an afternoon snack that actually feels like a treat, these are well worth making.Recipe 🥕🥕:2 large carrots2 cups oats2 tablespoons hempseeds5 medjool dates (pitted)1 tablespoon raisins2 tablespoons almond butter (any nut/ seed butter works)2 teaspoons cinnamon 1/2 cup desiccated coconut for rollingWash, peel and grate 2 large carrots.Blend all the ingredients in the food processor until it comes together nicely (make sure to remove your date pits and reserve the coconut).Roll into balls and toss in the coconut. If it’s a bit soft for rolling put the mixture in the fridge for 15 minutes.#healthysnacks#wholefoodrecipes#mealprepideas#realfood#snackideas by @cultured.folk

Tinned sardines are one of those foods I wish more families knew about. 🐟They’re affordable, shelf stable, incredibly nutritious and, despite what many people think, actually really mild in flavour.My boys have grown up eating them, so they’re just another normal lunch in our house. I truly believe that the more we expose our kids to a wide variety of foods without pressure, the more confident they’ll become around food.These sandwiches are made with homemade seeded wholemeal sourdough, avocado, mayonnaise, cucumber and tinned sardines. Simple ingredients, packed with goodness, and on the table in minutes. #kidslunchideas#wholefoodfamily#feedingkids#sourdough#realfoodkids by @cultured.folk

This is what a pretty typical day of food looks like in our house.Nothing fancy. Nothing perfect. Just simple, nourishing food that fits around real family life.You’ll usually find plenty of whole foods, meals built from scratch, lots of flexibility, and a self serve style that gives my boys a bit of independence while making life easier for me.Some meals are carefully planned, others come together with whatever’s left in the fridge before we head out for the day. And honestly, I think there’s value in both.As a chef and mum of three, I’ve learned that feeding a family well isn’t about perfection, it’s about finding a rhythm that’s realistic, enjoyable and sustainable.#feedingkids#familymeals#wholefoodfamily#mumlife#lunchboxideas by @cultured.folk

One of the biggest grocery saving tips I can share is this: stop deciding what to cook first.Instead, see what’s in season, what’s on special or what’s looking great at your local fruit and veg shop, and build your meals around that.Today’s inspiration was a giant bunch of silver beet for just $1.99, and it turned into a creamy, lemony dinner with cannellini beans and goat’s cheese that was on the table in no time.It’s proof that simple ingredients can make some of the most satisfying meals.Creamy Silver Beet & Cannellini Beans: 1/2 bunch silver beet washed and chopped1/3 brown onion sliced1 tablespoon olive oil1 can cannellini beans 1 lemon - zest & juice2 tablespoons creamy goats cheese1 teaspoon Greek style seasoning (I used @mingleseasoning)Salt Sauté the onion until golden. Add the Greek seasoning and lemon zest. Stir in the silver beet and the cannellini beans with their liquid. Cook until the silver beet is tender. Remove from the heat and stir through the lemon juice, goat’s cheese and fresh herbs.#budgetmeals#wholefoodfamily#familymeals#realfood#mealinspiration by @cultured.folk

If you’ve ever thought sourdough sounds amazing but also a little too much, this one’s for you.I’m a chef, a mum of three boys, and I simply don’t have the time (or the desire) to obsess over every minute or every fold.I’ve found a rhythm that works for our family. It’s flexible, forgiving and fits around real life.This isn’t the only way to make rye sourdough, but it is the way that keeps homemade bread on our table week after week.Because I truly believe sourdough shouldn’t feel stressful.It should fit into your life, not the other way around. I use @wholegrain_milling flour! They are the best!! #ryesourdough #easysourdoughmethod #germanbread #bauernbrot #sourdough by @cultured.folk

Can we agree that not all apples are created equal? I refuse to believe I’m the only one with a very specific apple hierarchy.Some are perfectly crisp and tart. Others are only good for baking. And then there are the ones I just can’t bring myself to buy.Maybe it’s the chef in me, but I have surprisingly strong opinions about apples.So let’s settle it…What’s the best apple?Which one is completely overrated? #foodtalk #foodopinions #applelover #australianproduce #realfood by @cultured.folk

The crumb reveal you’ve been waiting for… A few days ago I shared these overproofed loaves, fully expecting them to be a lesson in what not to do.But sourdough has a funny way of keeping you humble.Were they perfect? No.Were they absolutely delicious? 100%.It’s such a good reminder that not every loaf has to look Instagram perfect to be worth baking. Sometimes “good enough” turns out to be pretty incredible.Have you ever been surprised by a loaf you thought was going to fail? I’d love to hear your sourdough wins (or happy accidents!) below.#sourdough#sourdoughbread#crumbshot#breadbaking#homebaking by @cultured.folk

Not every sourdough bake goes to plan. These two loaves were definitely more proofed than I would have liked, but I decided to bake them anyway.One of the things I love about sourdough is that every loaf teaches you something. Sometimes it’s patience, sometimes it’s timing, and sometimes it’s that a loaf doesn’t have to be perfect to still be delicious.I think sharing the imperfect bakes is just as important as sharing the beautiful ones.Also, this was a super fun experiment! #sourdough#sourdoughbread#homebaking#breadmaking#sourdoughjourney by @cultured.folk

A mixed wheat and rye sourdough like this one is an absolute staple in German diets. It’s got different names depending on your region. Bauernbrot, Mischbrot, Graubrot or Schwarzbrot. While it’s very robust and savoury I absolutely love it with jam or Nutella as a treat.What do you call it where you are from? German Rye Sourdough Recipe: This recipe makes two loaves. I’ll usually bake one sandwich loaf and a classic sourdough loaf.600g white bread flour 400g whole rye flour200g active starter (white or rye)800g water18g salt20g honey or coconut sugarI use @wholegrain_milling flour.#sourdough #germanbread #germanfood #bauernbrot #ryesourdough by @cultured.folk

Whenever one of my boys is sick, my priorities around food shift.On a normal day, I think about variety, protein, vegetables and all the things that help us feel our best. But when we’re dealing with a bug, my focus becomes much simpler.I want them to stay hydrated, feel comforted and manage to eat a little something.It’s not the time for perfectly balanced plates or trying to introduce new foods. It’s the time for familiar favourites, warm meals and listening to what their bodies are asking for.For my boys that often looks like porridge, Vegemite on sourdough, rice crackers and chicken soup.I’d love to know, what’s your ultimate sick day food?#healthykidsfood #comfortfood #realkidsfood #kidsimmunesystem #wholefoodfamily by @cultured.folk
