If I could bake this loaf every day, I would. Laden with so much goddam goodness, it is seriously deeeeeeeLISH! This loaf made its first glorious appearance in my A Nourishing Morning eBook and it's been a standard in my kitchen ever since. An all-round good guy in the nutritious and delicious stakes, it’s a dead-set winner. Need I go on? 

Okay, I will. So where do I start? Well, firstly, there’s the hero of the loaf – turmeric. A powerful anti-inflammatory with a list-as-long-as-my-arm of benefits. Goats curd, high in calcium and great for anyone with a dairy intolerance. Onion, not often given much cred, but a wonderful immune-booster. And finally, those little nutritional powerhouses, seeds, including the little dynamo of plant-based omega-3 fatty acids, flaxseed.

Eat it on its own or top it off with some extra goats curd or my kale pesto and you have yourself a meal. Me thinks, sorry knows, you'll love it!

Makes 1 loaf



1 2/3 cup white rice flour
1 ½ cup mixed seeds

150g goats curd, coarsely crumbled
4 eggs

2 cloves garlic, peeled, crushed
1 brown onion, peeled, finely chopped
½ cup parsley leaves, roughly chopped
½ cup basil leaves, roughly chopped
½ cup flaxseeds

2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted

1 tablespoon turmeric, ground

½ teaspoon bicarbonate soda

¾ teaspoon sea salt
Black pepper to taste

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C. Grease and line a loaf tin.

In a large bowl place the white rice flour, turmeric, bicarbonate soda, salt, pepper and mixed seeds. Add the onion, garlic, goats curd and herbs, mixing gently to incorporate.

In a small bowl whisk the eggs until foamy then incorporate the coconut oil. Pour the egg mix over the dry mix and combine.

Scatter half the flaxseeds over the base of the loaf tin. Add the batter to the tin. Scatter the remaining flaxseeds on top. Cover the loaf with foil, place in oven and cook for 25 minutes. Remove foil and cook for another 15 minutes until golden and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
