Coffee and chocolate go hand-in-hand in drinks and sweet recipes, resulting in a rich and flavoursome experience. For my latest recipe working with Percol I wanted to combine the two together in an easy, no-bake recipe for an indulgent but healthy sweet treat – so say hello to these squidgy, dense brownie bites made from…sweet […]

Moo Bake Off: Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownies
There’s no escaping the fact that Great British Bake Off is back on our screens – this time, over on Channel 4 without Mary Berry, Mel and Sue, much to many peoples’ dismay. Love it or hate it, I’m quite enjoying the new take on the show so far – I’ve always been a fan […]
Jujube, Blueberry & Chocolate Flapjack Bites
Whether you’re looking for a healthy, tasty snack to pack into lunchboxes or just want a little extra inspiration, these easy, no bake flapjack bites are exactly what you need. You can use whatever dried fruit you want but I went for dried blueberries and these incredible jujube fruit (aka red dates) chopped up. Combined […]
No-Bake Chocolate Avocado Tart
You may have seen my post recently featuring North West-based family-run business (going for over 70 years!), Creamline Dairies, where I shared a classic Shepherd’s Pie recipe using some of the groceries and meat as part of their #bestoflocal campaign. The dairy’s doorstep delivery service combines all that’s great about the traditional milk round, with […]
Frozen Tea Challenge: Lemongrass, Turmeric & Coconut Lollies
It may come as no surprise that us Brits love tea; we drink it 365 days a year with many hitting at least 3 cups a day. I don’t know about you but I have about 1 cup or ‘normal’ tea a day but I’m obsessed with herbal teas and drink about 4-5 a day, […]
Double Chocolate Protein Brownies
A picnic or al fresco dining wouldn’t be right without brownies, would it? Especially double chocolate, high protein ones! In collaboration with Alpro using their plant-based range of yogurts and drinks, I’ve created these divine vegan, dairy-free and gluten-free treats using their delicious cashew milk and Hazelnut Chocolate Dessert Moments yogurts. Make them ahead then […]
Fruity Vanilla Overnight Oats
Another post in collaboration with Alpro and their plant-based yogurts and drinks, this time it’s all about the most important meal of the day: BREAKFAST. Overnight oats has to be one of the most simple things to make and enjoy – all you need to do is mix the ingredients together the night before then […]
RHYTHM108: Transforming Tea Biscuits The Healthy Way
When it comes to the classic (and very British) tea and biscuits, we’re pretty limited when it comes to enjoying something sweet to munch on which isn’t packed with refined sugar, wheat and/or dairy. Well thanks to the geniuses at RHYTHM108 we can now indulge in a healthy and delicious take on the classic tea […]
Double Chocolate Mocha Fudge Bites
A new month, another recipe for my favourite coffee brand, Percol. I can’t tell you how much I’ve been enjoying a cup of their Fairtrade Smooth Colombia in the morning at 5am when Tom wakes up for his first feed of the day… It’s a lifesaver and so enjoyable to drink thanks to its smooth, […]
Raw Liquorice, Blackberry & Coconut Cheesecake
So we’re finally into the last official month of summer. WHERE HAS THE TIME GONE. Although we may be getting more rain – bloody British weather – it’s still warm at least, so this new recipe working with Indigo Herbs is ideal. A stunning dessert bursting with flavour and colour, let me tell you a […]
No-Bake Mini Fruit Tarts
If you’re in need a super easy, no bake but pretty dessert to knock up for family or friends, this recipe is all you need. I had some Oatibix cereal (you could use normal Weetabix if you want) in the cupboard and thought it would make a great base for some cute little tartlets for […]
Dairy-free Summer Berry & Coconut Lollies
It’s summer, the sun is out (sometimes) – which means, ice cream time! ☀🍦🍧 Working with Alpro I’ve created these delicious dairy-free, vegan, gluten-free ice lollies using the Coconut Soya yogurt which adds a creamy, tropical touch. Combined with a berry chia layer, have these ready in the freezer for when you want to cool […]
Iced Coffee, Chocolate & Vanilla Slice
Another month, another recipe working in collaboration with my favourite coffee brand, Percol. Since having Tom I’ve thankfully been able to enjoy coffee in my life again (praise the lord, it’s needed!!) so it’s been a pleasure to create this summer-themed recipe. Using the All-Day Americano blend, I’ve whizzed up this super easy, healthy but […]
Triple Chocolate Cookie Sandwiches
Summer is my favourite time of the year – not just because I love the sunshine (when it decides to come out!), warmth and lighter, longer days but also because I just adore food and meals focused around this season. Of course, ice cream is one of the favourites but it’s not exactly the healthiest […]
#WellnessCracked Mango, Walnut & Coconut Granola
Working with California Walnuts, their ‘Wellness Cracked’ campaign aims to champion the many health benefits of this so-called ‘super nut’ as well as its versatility as a healthy snack and cooking ingredient. Being a huge lover of all kinds of nuts – walnuts in particular – of course I was keen to get on board […]
