Paul Philpott’s Blog. Adventures of a Rural Development Specialist. February 22, 2009. Felt has been made and used by Central Asian nomadic peoples for over two and a half thousand years. Traditionally, in countries such as Kyrgyzstan, nomads lived in yurts made of and decorated with felt, migrating from winter lowland pastures to summer mountain meadows with their herds of sheep, cattle and horses. The Merino and Karakul sheep that are raised produce some of the finest wool in the world. Although the fi...

Thursday, December 6, 2012. Browsing in the herbal tea section of my local whole food shop, I was drawn to a pale blue-green box labelled “Tulsi”. What is it and what are its reported benefits? Tulsi, also known as Holy Basil ( Ocimum sanctum. Now called Ocimum tenuiflorum. Holy Basil comes in red and green varieties, both with a strong, pleasant aroma. More clove-like than that of culinary basil, holy basil has been used for centuries to treat a variety of medical conditions. There is growing interest i...

My passion is inspiring others to take responsibility for their own health by providing information which enables them to make informed choices. It thus makes me feel very happy when I receive messages like this from one of my Facebook followers. Maria McConnaughey, who transitioned to a plant-based diet last year when she discovered she was suffering from type 2 diabetes. Thanks for spreading the word :)". And invested my money ...

http://vegetabledoctor.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 8, 2014. Chickpea (garbanzo bean), celeriac, squash, cabbage and fennel seed soup. September is the best month for celeriac in Europe. Celeriac may appear as an ugly, uninteresting, knobbly root but don’t be fooled – it’s brimming with nutrients and adds delicate flavour and subtle texture to autumn dishes. Celeriac is derived from wild celery, which has a small, edible root and has been used in Europe since ancient times. It’s mentioned in Homer's Odyssey. You can also try celeriac mas...

Wednesday, August 13, 2014. Strawberry, blueberry and chia seed dessert. If you've got some strawberries which are slightly over-ripe and too soft for a fresh fruit salad, you can use them to make this simple cold dessert, which is very quick and easy to prepare and packed with nutrients. Strawberries are an excellent source of vitamins C and K, dietary fibre, and flavonoids. Indeed, a handful of strawberries is sufficient to cover the vitamin C recommended daily allowance. These flavonoids are anti-infl...

Sunday, October 26, 2014. Autumn is an inspiring time for me. I love the warm colours and comforting sweetness of vegetables like winter squash. With Halloween approaching, the shops are full of pumpkins. The type of pumpkins used for carving jack-o'-lanterns are generally not very tasty, so don't try to use them in cooking. Here's one I carved last year. Like other carotene-rich vegetables, winter squash have been shown to have a protective effect against many cancers, including lung cancer. Diets r...

Cooking for Health: April 2013
http://vegetabledoctor.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, April 27, 2013. Pomegranate, lime and cucumber salsa. I found this recipe in a beautiful book called "Veggiestan" by Sally Butcher. And it is such a hit with my family I decided to share it. My husband, Paul Philpott, spent many years travelling in the 'stans whilst working for overseas and development agencies. He is chronicling his adventures on his own blog - Impulse to Travel. Pomegranates have been cherished for their exquisite beauty, flavour, colour, and health benefits for centuries.
