Porridge, overnight oats, bircher…Ahhhh oats, don’t you just love them? So versatile, so nutritious, so tasty. And when autumn rolls around, a dish of warm baked oats is the perfect way to start the day (or eat cold/warmed up at any time of day to be honest!). Filling, packed full of fibre and slow release […]

Dark Chocolate, Apricot & Pumpkin Seed Energy Bars
I think a good snack bar packed with natural energy thanks to dried fruit, oats, seeds/nuts is one of my favourite things to make at the moment. Once you’ve nailed a good basic mixture – in this case, a combination of dates, maple syrup and nut butter to combine the dry ingredients and create a […]
White Chocolate, Berry & Almond Tarts
It happens to be a coincidence that it’s dairy week on Great British Bake Off (believe it or not, I’m a huge fan of the show haha) at the same time as sharing this divine dessert recipe. A no-bake chocolate oat base filled with vanilla yogurt and finished with berries, almonds and my favourite Barebells […]
Date & Pumpkin Seed Granola
Anyone else a breakfast lover like me? As in, it’s up there as a favourite meal of the day? I go through phases whether I’m in the mood for yogurt and fruit, a smoothie, a big bowl of warming porridge, or…GRANOLA! One of the most addictive things ever, there are a couple of brands whose […]
Chocolate Peanut Butter Caramel Cookie Dough Cake
So guys…Today is my birthday! And to celebrate, I’ve been a bit self indulgent and made myself a cake that basically involves all of my favourite things: Chocolate. Peanut Butter. Cookie Dough. Caramel. I mean, who wouldn’t like this combo?! It sounds rich and indulgent which it is, that’s the point, but I’ve actually made […]
Tropical No Bake Muesli Bars
A super easy recipe using only SIX ingredients, these healthy bars are bursting with natural energy and tropical vibes. Thanks to a delivery from Dorset Cereals in celebration of the launch of their new gluten-free muesli range (hooray!), I thought I’d incorporate one of them into a simple recipe that all the family can enjoy. […]
Video: Fudgey Chocolate Brownies
Here we go, another recipe video thanks to my lovely friend, Tori, owner of Candid Films. We had so much fun working together filming these (you may have seen the other recipe video for chocolate chip banana muffins here) – and of course, eating them afterwards! These deliciously gooey, rich and decadent brownies are the […]
Video: Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins
Welcome to my first recipe video thanks to collaborating with my friend, the talented Tori of Candid Films. I’ve always wanted to create video content but it’s something I’ve never had the confidence, patience or time to delve into (to be totally honest!) so I’m super happy to work with a professional who has a […]

Chocolate Chunk Brownie Cheesecake
In this latest recipe working in [paid] collaboration with The Protein Works, their Chocolate Fudge Fandango protein bar coupled with the loaded nut butter inspired me to go all out indulgent and create something which sounds like the thing of dreams: CHOCOLATE. BROWNIE. CHEESECAKE. That’s right, a nutty raw brownie base topped with a creamy […]

These little indulgent bites are huge in flavour and a certain to satisfy a sweet tooth and chocolate cravings. You might look at the […]
Cranberry, Hemp Seed & Carob Flapjack
If you love chocolate, something you may not have heard of or tried before is CAROB. It’s a slightly different taste to cacao and cocoa – I personally think it tastes sweeter, creamier and less bitter – and unlike cocoa powder and chocolate, carob is caffeine-free plus it contains three times as much calcium and is higher in dietary fibre. […]
REVIEW: Gluten-free afternoon tea at The Midland
It’s nice to treat yourself sometimes, whether that’s getting your nails or hair done, a spot of shopping, having a bath, simply reading a book or indulging in some delicious and exquisite edible delights. The latter was what I enjoyed recently, thanks to being invited down to The Midland, “a much-loved part of this magnificent […]
REVIEW: Lunching at Wahaca
Who doesn’t love Mexican food? I think it’s fair to say it’s my favourite cuisine (closely followed by Italian) – the flavours, spices, key ingredients, ways of serving – plus of course, the culture and aesthetics surrounding it. It wasn’t until I met James 7 years ago that I got into it (he’s a Mexican […]
