GRILLED ASPARAGUS WITH POACHED EGG, GRUYERE AND SERRANO HAM 2 bunches (400 g/14 oz) asparagus, trimmed and cut in half 2 teaspoons white wine vinegar 1 teaspoon salt 4 free-range eggs 40 g (1½ oz) butter 2 teaspoons finely chopped flat-leaf (Italian) parsley juice of 1 lemon 4–8 slices of sourdough bread 150 g (5½ oz) gruyère cheese, shaved or grated 8 slices of serrano ham or prosciutto Serves 4 1 Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F/Gas 6). Cook the asparagus in boiling salted water until tender, then drain. Set aside until needed. 2 Fill a saucepan with water until approximately 10 cm (4 inches) deep. Add the vinegar and salt. Bring to the boil over medium–high heat, then reduce the heat to low–medium so the water starts to simmer. Crack one egg into a cup. Using a wooden spoon or a whisk stir the simmering water in one direction to form a whirlpool. Slide one egg in and cook for 3 minutes or until cooked to your liking. Remove the egg with a slotted spoon and sit on paper towel to soak up the excess water. Repeat with the remaining eggs. 3 In a frying pan over medium heat, gently heat the butter until melted, then add the parsley, asparagus, lemon juice, and some salt and freshly ground black pepper and cook until the asparagus starts to colour. Remove from the heat. 4 Meanwhile, toast the sourdough and place on a baking tray. 5 Divide the asparagus into four portions and put each portion on a piece of toast, then top each with a poached egg. Top this with the gruyère and heat in the oven until the cheese is just melted. Serve with the serrano ham or prosciutto and extra toast, if you like.

PASSIONFRUIT PAVLOVA ROLL 4 free-range egg whites 170 g (5¾ oz/¾ cup) caster (superfine) sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 teaspoon white vinegar 1 teaspoon cornflour (cornstarch) 30 g (1 oz/½ cup) shredded coconut 200 ml (7 fl oz) thick (double/heavy) cream 1 mango, peeled and thinly sliced 2 tablespoons passionfruit pulp Serves 4 1 Preheat the oven to 140°C (275°F/Gas 1). Grease a 38 x 26 cm (15 x 10½ inch) Swiss roll (jelly roll) tin, then line with a piece of baking paper, allowing it to overhang on the two long sides. 2 Beat the egg whites in a small bowl using an electric mixer until soft peaks form; gradually add the sugar, beating until it is dissolved before adding the next lot. Fold in the vanilla, vinegar and cornflour. 3 Spread the mixture into the prepared tin; sprinkle with the coconut. Bake on the lower shelf of the oven for about 15 minutes or until the meringue is browned lightly. 4 Remove the meringue from the oven. Place a sheet of baking paper (a little larger than the tin) on top of the cooked meringue, then top with a damp kitchen cloth. Flip the tin over. Spray one side of another sheet of baking paper with cooking oil spray and place the greased side down on top of the marshmallowy side of the meringue. 5 Starting with the long end nearest to you, carefully roll up the roulade while it is warm. Set aside to cool while still rolled up. 6 Carefully unroll the cooled meringue, remove the baking paper and gently spread with the cream. Top with mango and passionfruit. Firmly roll up the meringue. Transfer to a platter and serve. Note: You will need about two large passionfruit for this recipe, which can be made up to 6 hours ahead.

If you think cycling is just for blokes then think again. There are a growing number of females getting on their bike as an alternative way to keep fit as riding a bicycle is a great way to integrate exercise into your daily life. Here are four ways it can have a positive impact on a healthier you. Health: cycling is a great, low impact exercise, which means less pressure on your muscles and joints. It also burns more calories per minute than jogging, swimming and tennis, and is a fantastic way to increase your cardiovascular fitness. Social: have you tried to have breakfast on a Saturday morning without sharing your cafe with a bunch of people wearing lycra? Cycling is now one of the most popular pastimes and proves going for an early morning ride is a great way to maintain friendships and meeting new people, regardless of your fitness levels.

Protein is important for proper functioning of the immune system eg beans / legumes, meat, chicken, fish and eggs. Certain foods interfere with the absorption and take nutrients from your body eg sugar or coffee. Minimise these foods so as to not compromise your immune system. Keep your system well hydrated. Aim for two litres of pure filtered water daily. AND FINALLY if you become sick, look after yourself. Grab a good book or rent a movie - bed rest, lots of fluids, and nutritious food will help you to recover. These are only some of the useful tips the team at Go Vita (ph: 3245 3877) can provide. Visit them in Market Lane next time you are here. Information source: Go Vita www.govita.com.au

Environmental: the most obvious positive environmental impact cycling has is to take cars off the road. For every bike journey, there is less oil being consumed, less carbon dioxide being released into the atmosphere and less noise populating our ears. Financial: if done regularly, bike riding is a great way to save time and money. It can easily be a substitute for car trips up to 20km and a bike costs a lot less to maintain and run than a car or motor cycle. Website source: www.cyclingpromotion.com.au

Stress can affect the immune system and cause recurrent infections. B group vitamins help our body to handle stress. Also look at other stress busters such as exercise, meditation.

KING’S SPEECH

THE PRINCE CHARLES HOSPITAL FOUNDATION’S

Winner of Best Film at the 83rd Academy Awards, King’s Speech tells the story of King George VI of Britain (Colin Firth), his impromptu ascension to the throne and the speech therapist (Geoffrey Rush) who helped the unsure monarch become worthy of it.

9 Lives Appeal During May, Capalaba Park is proud to be supporting the Prince Charles Hospital Foundation’s 9 Lives Appeal.

Kristen Wiig leads the cast as Annie, a maid of honor whose life unravels as she leads her best friend, Lillian (Maya Rudolph), and a group of colourful bridesmaids (Rose Byrne, Melissa McCarthy, Wendi McLendon-Covey and Ellie Kemper) on a wild ride down the road to matrimony.

he Prince Charles Hospital Foundation has been helping critical ill people for over 25 years, including Kate Backhouse.

At 11 weeks, Kate was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis, the most common life threatening genetic condition, affecting around one in 2500 Australian babies. But Kate has never let her health hold her back. Despite her debilitating lung disease, Kate has always been sporty. After she received a life saving double lung transplant in 2006, Kate swam in the World Transplant Games, shaving eight seconds off the Games 50m

backstroke record and taking home two gold and one silver medal.

“I’ve swum all my life,” says the 30 year old. “It makes me feel amazing. It makes me feel normal.” Now in her final year of studying nutrition and dietetics, Kate is keen to follow her passion into the research field. She’s also been working part time in the beauty industry for 12 years. She says the transplant gave her the motivation to really make the most of her life.

During the Great Depression, Jacob (Robert Pattinson), a penniless and recently orphaned veterinary school student, parlays his expertise with animals into a job with a second-rate travelling circus. He falls in love with Marlena (Reece Witherspoon) but their romance is complicated.

LATEST BOOKS & DVDS THE YOUNGER MAN When Abby enjoys a memorable night with a delicious 22-yearold, she easily waves him out of her life the next morning. But the charming young Marcus isn’t going to let her get away that easily. He knows what he wants and takes it upon himself to prove that age is irrelevant where the heart is concerned.

She’s looking forward to challenging her own record in this year’s Australian Transplant Games.
