  • A Good Life At Sol Haven | Episode 13

    In Episode 13 of A Good Life at Sol Haven, Chris Gregg, Natasha The Loving Chef, and Sammuel Yisrael explore the powerful concept of “valuing the edges and the marginal,” inspired by Permaculture Principle 11. From embracing our own vulnerabilities and giving space to quieter voices, to recognising the richness found where different environments—and people—meet, this episode is a heartfelt reminder that the margins matter.

    Natasha shares an incredible list of mood-boosting foods, from leafy greens and dark chocolate to fermented favourites and the humble onion, which takes centre stage as this week’s healing hero. Plus, a delicious baked onion recipe and a vibrant look at what’s growing in the Sol Haven garden.

    And don’t miss the mesmerising sound of the West African djembe, as Sammuel takes us on a rhythmic journey of connection, community, and peace.

  • A Good Life At Sol Haven | Episode 12

    In Episode 12 of A Good Life at Sol Haven, Natasha The Loving Chef and Chris Gregg dive deep into the fascinating connection between food and mood—uncovering how everyday ingredients can either nourish or disrupt our mental wellbeing. From blood sugar imbalances and inflammation to the gut-brain connection, discover the hidden links between what we eat and how we feel.

    In the garden, nasturtiums take centre stage—vibrant, edible, medicinal, and a pollinator's best friend. Natasha also shares her beautiful 4-ingredient quinoa and beetroot flatbreads—gluten-free, colourful, and packed with goodness.

    As always, the episode rounds off with a card pull to set the tone for the week ahead.

    Recipe – 4-Ingredient Quinoa & Beetroot Flatbreads

    Ingredients

    •    1 cup quinoa (soaked at least 6 hours or overnight)
    •    1 small beetroot (raw or steamed), chopped or grated
    •    1/2 tsp salt (or to taste)
    •    1/2–3/4 cup water (adjust as needed)

    Instructions

    1.    Soak the quinoa: Cover the quinoa with water and let it soak for 6+ hours or overnight. Rinse and drain well.
    2.    Blend the batter: In a high-speed blender, combine the soaked quinoa, chopped beetroot, salt, and 1/2 cup water. Blend until smooth. Add a little more water if needed to get a pourable, thick pancake-like batter.
    3.    Cook the flatbreads: Heat a non-stick pan or skillet over medium heat (lightly oil if needed). Pour or ladle some batter into the pan and spread it into a circle, about 1/4 inch thick.
    4.    Flip and finish: Cook for 3–4 minutes until the bottom is firm and golden. Flip and cook the other side for 2–3 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.
