Every Spring, The Sick Children’s Trust run their biggest annual fundraiser, Big Chocolate Tea, which encourages anyone to bake, drink tea and eat cake for a good cause. YEARS ago my friend Ruby and I teamed up and hosted our own Mad Hatter’s themed one in North Yorkshire which was so much fun and went down […]

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 […]
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 […]
Apple, Raisin & Cinnamon Baked Oats
If I had to pick a favourite fruit, apples would definitely be up there. They have to be crisp, juicy, not too sweet or too tart, and mostly red with a green twinge. I eat at least one a day; as it is, chopped up and added to a big bowl of yogurt and berries, […]
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 […]
Chocolate, Coffee & Chestnut Torte
So it’s December – HOW DID THAT HAPPEN?! And we all know what that means – the season of celebration, festivities and getting into the spirit of Christmas, woohoo! I don’t know about you but even with a baby, my diary is jam-packed with events, parties, family get-togethers and plenty of work to crack on […]

Offering a range of ethically produced, nutrient-dense organic superfood blends, they have been specially formulated by one of the best herbalists in the UK. On a mission to help promote healthy […]
Spiced Apple & Almond Butter Blondies
You may have seen quite a few posts and recipes recently in collaboration with king of nut butters, Pic’s. Last month I shared Spiced Pumpkin & Caramel Brownie Bites; this time it’s all about pairing apples, mixed spices, pecans and of course their deliciously smooth almond butter in this healthy blondie recipe. Another winner of […]
Peanut Butter & Chocolate Banana Blondies
Have you seen my post in collaboration with Pic’s peanut butter, talking about being a new mum and keeping energy levels up? I share some of my favourite recipe ideas that help to give me as boost – and these blondies are no exception. One of my all-time favourite sweet treats, these combine the perfect […]
Squidgy Avocado & Walnut Protein Brownies
You may have seen my post mentioning Strong Roots, whose mission is to ‘revolutionise frozen food’. The award-winning brand has just launched in the UK in Waitrose and Whole Foods Market with its innovative, delicious and nutritious range of vegetables and veggie meals, aimed at those wanting to eat healthily but are short of time. […]
Summer Fruit Custard Cheesecake
Well it’s officially the last day of summer. WHAT THE. And yes I say ‘summer’ lightly; we’ve had the odd sunny day here and there, I’m hoping September might treat us to slightly nicer weather! So I thought it would be appropriate to post my last summer themed recipe of this year before we head […]
Strawberry, Nectarine & Almond Picnic Cake
I know we’re nearing the end of summer but there’s still hope we can get outside and enjoy some al fresco dining or even a picnic if we’re lucky! Working together with Alpro, their plant-based Big Pots and drinks are perfect additions to your favourite savoury and sweet staples. Making use of fruits in season, […]
