“I first served this at a winter solstice gathering where we had a vegan version of a somewhat traditional Celtic solstice meal. It was a really yummy end to a lovely evening and had us talking about it for weeks. This is also perfect for those special nights in by the fire with a good book or a friend, a winter breakfast or afternoon slump wake up, or just when you feel like you need to be reminded you are special! For a less rich hot cocoa, make it with organic cacao powder, and leave out the spices. You could add orange essential oil for a Jaffa Cocoa. Or just have it plain with vanilla essence. Finally, one of the things I love to do to surprise my family is add No Egg and serve them up something resembling Hot Cocoa Custard. I've served that plain with vanilla, with spices, with orange and with the lot! Enjoy experimenting! When using essential oils, make sure they are food-grade or therapeutic. I use Young Living Oils because they are strong, and 100% therapeutic-grade, which means your chocolate treat becomes even more healthy.” ~ Billie Dean, co-founder of Deep Peace Trust Farm Animal and Wild Horse Sanctuary

"This is a simple, no fuss, nutritious dish for the people out adventuring, camping or simply getting out amongst nature. All you need is one pot to boil your ingredients over a fire. This is the perfect energy food. With all the essential minerals/vitamins, protein and iron to keep me fueled on my challenges! This is an Ayurvedic recipe and known for being not only super nutritious but also really gentle on the stomach. This is the simple version that I would pre-prep if I was out adventuring in the wild so would generally omit the fresh stuff. If you are at home and have access to fresh veg and herbs I would suggest adding some fresh flavour powerhouses like fresh ginger, coriander, chilli etc." ~ Duncan Roberts, Aussie fundraising adventurer
