FOOD AS MEDICINE Healthy Christmas Cake HEALTHY CHRISTMAS CAKE PREPARATION: 20 MINUTES, COOKING: 50 MINUTES, SERVES 12 3 free-range eggs (or egg alternative) 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil zest of 1 whole orange ½ cup orange juice (from about 1 juiced orange) 1 teaspoon ground cassia ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg 1 teaspoon alcohol-free pure vanilla extract 600 g dried apricots, figs and raisins (use equal amounts of each), chopped 1 cup almond meal 1 cup plain wholemeal flour ½ cup walnuts, lightly broken up or chopped 20 blanched almonds 1 tablespoon apricot jam 1. Grease a round 18-centimetre (7-inch) baking tin or rectangular 13 x 23-centimetre (5 x 9-inch) loaf pan with a small amount of olive oil, then line with parchment (baking) paper, leaving some overhang so you can easily lift the cake from the tin when baked. The paper will stick to the tin as it has been greased. Pre-heat oven to 180 C (350 F). 2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk eggs, oil, zest and juice, and stir in spices and vanilla extract. 3. Coarsely chop dried fruits and add to mixture, together with almond meal, flour and walnuts. Fold until well combined so there are no clumps of fruit. 4. Transfer mixture into the baking tin, packing it down so there are no air pockets. Level the surface with the back of a spoon. Make a gentle hollow in the middle to prevent the cake from peaking. Press almonds on top into a pattern and bake for 50 55 minutes until cooked. Cover with foil for the last 10 minutes to prevent raisins from burning. Test by inserting a skewer in the middle, which should come out fairly dry. 5. Remove cake from oven but leave in tin for about 30 minutes, then transfer to a rack, peel off the parchment paper and cool completely before slicing. Warm jam and brush over the top for a glaze. Store in an airtight container in the pantry for up to 2 weeks or freeze. Note: Refrigerating the cake will dry it out and should only be done under humid conditions. TIP: - Australian dried apricots have a tangier flavour than Turkish dried apricots. Greek dried white figs are moist and delicious!

Live More Happy: BOOK OF THE MONTH Scientifically Proven Ways To Lift Your Mood And Your Life Darren Morton SPECIAL Paperback #1251260 30.99 24 99 I have never been an overly optimistic person and always thought that people who look on the bright side all the time are just not being realistic. So when it was decided that I should be the one to review Live More Happy, I wondered if it was some sort of a hint or maybe they just wanting a realistic approach. I was hoping that it was not just all about laughing and clapping your hands but could give me some solid evidence as to why I should live more happy and this book did not disappoint. This is Darren Morton s second book about the strategies for boosting emotional wellbeing and becoming happier and as such, is largely an expanded and deeper version of his previous Seven Secrets for Feeling Fantastic. In the intervening 10 years, his research has found that people who put the content of this book into practice experience a 30 per cent reduction in depressive symptoms, anxiety and stress, and a 20 per cent improvement in their mental health and vitality, so I decided to give it a go. From the very first page, I was hooked. Who would have thought that learning about the scientific research done into the human brain could be so interesting? By using nicknames for the various parts of the brain and personal anecdotes to explain the brain s workings, Darren Morton has written a scientifically based book that everyone can enjoy. While the book reads lightly, there are also comprehensive references at the end of each chapter for those who want to check the evidence. Even just reading Live More Happy brings a smile to your face. I found myself laughing out loud in various chapters, so I could feel it doing me good already. And the handy acronyms and application exercises help you focus on the different aspects of your life that you could change. With the New Year fast approaching and everyone planning their resolutions, Live More Happy makes a great Christmas present for yourself or a friend, as we can all do with a bit more happiness in our lives.
