THE DAILY WALKABOUT COLLECTION #11

To Your Health — Herbs, Plants, Recipes, and Food Traditions From Around the World

Your Daily Cuppa Walkabout gathering of stories published January 22 -28 2022.

Welcome to our Walkabout in search of traditional foods around the world and everything about herbs and plants of all kinds. We seek to broaden our knowledge in order to provide more options for healthy eating.

Growing food and cooking at home are important to our health and the sustainability of our food system. We promote people and plants, not any specific diet plan.

This gathering of stories takes us to many places including, Australia, Hawaii, Korea, Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean. Our featured long-form article is likely to inspire you to turn an ordinary meal into a work of art.

Enjoy these stories about herbs and plants. I hope you'll find recipes to include in your home cooking. I also hope you find an herb or plant to try growing in your garden.

Your Walkabout Guides

Saturday:

Jane Frost (Jane Grows Garden Rooms) leads us into the world of Australian Bush Tucker with bites — tasty bits about native plants and their uses.

If you’re planning on growing raspberries, Jane reveals the secret to ‘picking’ them.

Sunday:

James Beaufait presents a lush Hawaiian feast of traditions, food growing, delicious herbal treats, and sumptuous recipes as he brings us to the islands.

Off to beautiful Hawaii with our guide, we learn about an amazing tree. This tree would be the ultimate in sustainable planting if the growing zone were right.

Monday:

Kris Bedenian celebrates Northern hemisphere home cooking blending traditional food preparation techniques with modern healthy adaptations.

In this bit of a twist on Northern hemisphere cooking, Kris shares a secret to having just a little of this traditional comfort food — plus a bite of interesting brain food.

Tuesday:

JM Heatherly shares his love of herbs and herbal lore as he indexes herbs and their uses to lead the younger generation into the magical world of plants.

Don’t you just love JM’s plant summaries? He packs a lot of info into a tiny read. St. John’s wart is such a lovely and giving plant.

Wednesday:

Nancy Blackman brings the ancient wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine with a warm Korean flair for using herbs and spices in the home kitchen.

Turmeric is a major guest in my cooking and beverages. Guest? Turmeric lives with me. Even so, I had no idea about one tradition Nancy shares — not telling.

Thursday:

Julie Gaeta combines her expertise as a Health Coach and traditional Mexican cuisine chef with a healthy twist to share recipes for smoothies, teas, and much more.

Don’t you love salsa? This easy recipe is special, as Julie encourages us to switch it up to our liking. And you know her recipes are kid-tested.

Friday:

I. Trudie Palmer shares with us from the Caribbean, a delightful new way to spice up coffee. I’d never have thought about it, but it’s great!

In Closing

Thank you, dear readers, for spending time with us and reading this week's Walkabout collection of 150-word stories. Our search for traditional recipes, herbs, and plants has provided you with more options for healthy eating.

Thank you to our writers from the US, Australia, Hawaii, Korea, Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, and beyond.

Join The Adventure

We’d love to have you join us.

Do you have stories from your family or cultural traditions? Do you grow food or forage? Do you have a special vegetable you like to grow?

My bias is that home cooking is better for our health than eating packaged food, so whatever food system you follow, we rejoice in stories about what you’re cooking.

What inspires you to grow your food, forage, and cook?

Come along with us on our walkabout.

Submit your recipes, herb, gardening, and plant lore for our gathering of all stories tagged ‘walkabout.’ Link your long-form stories tagged ‘walkabout’ for our collection.
