Jade Woodds (on the right) // Three Silver Spoons Contributor
Education: Bachelor of Health Science (Naturopathy)
As one part of the formidable Panaceas Pantry duo, Jade is the resident Three Silver Spoons naturopath and green thumb.
With a passion for a wholesome vegan lifestyle and organic, homegrown food, Jade’s back to basics approach embraces homemade goodness and delicious produce. Outside of cooking, photographing, and writing about food, she is also a passionate herb grower and picker, fermenter, preserver and tea maker. She loves green coloured things and good loving vibes.
In a world with no constraints or limitations, I’d also be singing (in a magical world it would be in key, too), travelling the globe and learning how to grow cacao trees in Melbourne’s climate.
