We’re all soooooooo full. And our livers are ANGRY. And they’re wanting to be cooled down and cleaned out. Yeah? Get into the kitchen and try these recipes. They’re my favourites this time of year – they’ll calm down your internals and help reboot your liver.
rawvocado soup
This is a great time to up the raw food content. I’m a big fan of Ayurvedic medicine and the discipline advises eating cooling foods in summer – cucumber, avocado, green salads. This recipe is an all-time favourite of mine…it heals and soothes and cleans. Full recipe here.
rhubarb and sweet potato stew with coriander oil
All that raw, cool talk aside, its good to complement things with something grounding. Silly Season can blow out our vata. This one’s a great grounding recipe, after all the over-stimulation. Calm your system down with this densely nutritious meal. Find the full recipe here.
kale pesto
Make a batch of this and spread it around. Kale is so cleansing and clean and green.

Any green recipes you’re reaching for right now? PS How was your Christmas? Mine was actually really alot of fun. All 6 siblings in town. Every Christmas we do a Boxing Day bush walk…this year it was a complete day of silliness and fence climbing and dumb dares and food competing and river swimming up in the Braidwood area.
I’ve been eating quite a bit of avocado and green salad over the last few days – it’s just been an instinctive thing – but obviously the right thing!

Ha! I just popped onto your site to see if you’ve ever posted anything about coffee. My liver is on fire (not helped by the fact that I have a liver disease) so I will be sure to cook up these recipes. I gave up alcohol years ago, and I have replaced it with sugar as my “treat” but I know it wreaks havoc with my liver. And, big sigh, I think coffee is next to go. Even decaf. Boring!!!! But thanks Sarah for all your wonderful posts, insights and info. Looking forward to a clearer 2012 xxx

omgosh Sarah! Thanks for the awesome recipe ideas…today I would not be satisfied until I had a giant salad…I could just feel my colon crying out for some help! The kale pesto looks great and I’ll definitely be trying that out.

Sarah, my inner grammar hard-ass compels me to say that no, you didn’t have “alot of fun”, you had ‘a lot’ of fun! Sorry!
Glad you had a great Christmas and I look forward to another year of your great blog!
Cheers.

Thank you for these! I just got home from our holiday travels, and I can tell my liver isn’t so happy. I’ve got chicken stock simmering on the stove, and a fresh batch of kombucha fermenting in the pantry. It’s time to detox for a bit. I can’t wait to try your rawvacdo soup!
