Ahh the great big sugar debate. It’s been a part of our diet for hundreds of years and remains a staple of our everyday lives but has come under so much scrutiny that it’s become the F word of the food industry. From being linked to obesity and diabetes and blamed for a dental decay […]

Sambazon Acai Immunity Boosting Bowl
As a health foodie, smoothie bowls are one of my favourite things to make – to look pretty for Instagram and a delicious way to enjoy the nutritional benefits of whizzing up whatever fruits, veggies and superfood powders I have in, topped with a variety of nuts, seeds, dried fruits or whatever else takes my […]
Superberries Mini Cheesecakes
With Spring officially here, it’s not long until flowers start to bloom and we have more colour in our life – that’s one of the reasons I love Spring so much after the dull, dreary winter. Bold, vibrant colours instantly make me feel happier which is why I’m loving the gorgeous new superfood product from […]
Chocolate & Salted Caramel Peanut Butter Bites
This has to be one of my most requested recipes – I wasn’t planning on it going on the blog but after I shared a (not very good) photo on my Instagram asking if anyone fancied it, the response was crazy! It was recently my husband James’ birthday and as part of the celebrations, we […]
Vegan Carrot Cake Muffins
Working with the wonderful wholefoods company Indigo Herbs, I’ve created a special Easter-themed recipe that also happens to be vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and contains no refined sugar – a nice break from all that chocolate and just as delicious 😉 These muffins are a twist on the classic carrot cake and are packed full of […]
Pear & Walnut Brownies
I eat nuts in some form every day. Peanut butter spooned onto something (or straight from the jar!), walnuts sprinkled over porridge, pecans baked into a recipe, or snacking on Brazil nuts – they are just very basic examples. Years ago I used to be afraid of the fat content but after reading up on […]
Rich Chocolate Coffee Tarts
I’m very aware that chocolate will be a strong theme this month with Easter coming up, so I thought why not jump on that bandwagon and embrace it?! As you know I create a recipe working with the wonderful Percol Coffee every month so with this celebration and also Mother’s Day in mind, I wanted […]
Cherry, Pear & Almond Cake
Mother’s Day is coming up and now the Spring is finally here (although the recent weather would say otherwise!), I wanted to celebrate by sharing one of my favourite cake recipes to date. Both my Mum and I love the combination of juicy cherries, sweet pears and nutty almonds so it was only right to […]

Clean Supper Club Collab: Porridge 3 Ways
If you don’t already, you MUST follow the Clean Supper Club girls on Instagram – especially their Instagram Stories. Beautiful shots and wicked typefaces, I’m a huge fan of how they creatively use the app to showcase their delicious, healthy creations. We’d met briefly at the Northern Blog Awards back in September so it was […]
Harvey Nichols Manchester Vegan Menu
When a restaurant can make a vegetarian or vegan menu look exciting, interesting and creative, I’m there. With the rise of a ‘flexitirian’ way of eating coupled with January being Veganuary for many, it’s great to see so many eateries offering more options that aren’t just risotto or a nut roast. So when I heard […]
Mocha, Coconut & Almond Bites
There’s no doubt that January can be full of goals and aims but it can be harder to keep them when life gets busy and hectic. While I’m all about balance, when it comes to snacking I really do have a sweet tooth, which is why I try and create healthier alternatives for longer lasting […]
Chocolate, Goji Berry & Seed Energy Bars
Detoxing, weight loss, juice diets… Yes, sadly we’re bombarded with drastic diets and pressure to lose weight with quick fix, unrealistic solutions at the start of January – many of which are abandoned by the end of the month. The way I see it is to lead a happy, healthy, balanced diet throughout the whole […]
