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.

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 […]
Strawberry & Orange Shortcake Stacks
Working in collaboration with Graham’s The Family Dairy who I’ve joined forces with before on other recipe creations, now it’s the turn of strawberries to be the star of the show in these healthy, delicious summer themed treats. With picnics and Pimms being all the rage, I was keen to re-create a classic (but without wheat […]
#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 […]
Raw Layered Espresso & Chocolate Cheesecake
At last, we’re being treated to nicer, warmer weather as we head into summer – where has this year gone?! With that in mind, my recipe working with Percol Coffee this month is a raw, no-bake dessert that can be made in advance and served on a hot sunny day as a refreshing treat. With […]

Jake’s Boost: No-Bake Chocolate & Nut Butter Bites
This post is dedicated to all the nut butter lovers out there – yes, I am certainly one of them. From cashew to peanut, tiger nut to almond, I can’t get enough of the stuff. You may have seen me mention Jake’s Boost in a previous post, but let me remind you what these guys […]
Spiralising, Shredding & Slicing with the Veggie Bullet
As a busy freelance recipe developer and blogger working with health food brands, I’m always in the kitchen and a lot of my time is taken up with prepping ingredients, which can sometimes feel like a chore. With a baby on the way in July, I’m more conscious of time-efficient things which will help to […]
Mini Apple, Raisin & Cinnamon Loaves
Sometimes the combination of apple, cinnamon and raisins (or sultanas) is all you need. With a hint of orange for extra zing, this is the base for my latest recipe working in collaboration with Graham’s The Family Dairy using their thick, creamy but fat-free Quark, a staple in my fridge that can be used for […]
Gizzi Erskine & The Groovy Food Company Chocolate Fondant Challenge
When I saw that The Groovy Food Company had teamed up with quirky and inspirational TV personality, chef and author, Gizzi Erskine, to create an innovative range of modern recipes using the brand’s natural products, I was rather excited. As someone who has looked up to Gizzi for many years, this partnership caught my attention […]

Raw Chocolate Donuts & White Chocolate Matcha Glaze
Whether you love it, hate it or have never tried it, matcha is still one of the current health food trends – if Instagram is anything to go by – as our desire for a greater variety of speciality teas coupled with healthy lifestyle choices continues to grow, the popularity of matcha doesn’t seem to […]

Chocolate, Peanut Butter & Jam Tartlets
Back with another recipe using one of my favourite store cupboard essentials for healthy, gluten-free baking: Tiger Nut flour! As a whole, tiger nuts, are 100% gluten-free, organic, nut-free (ironically), dairy-free, low in calories and fats and ideal for those on a paleo diet. What’s more, because they have so much fibre they make you […]
