It’s been National Baking Week recently (14th – 20th October) and with that in mind, Wing Yip – the UK’s leading Oriental supermarket – is helping to get Britain baking with its brand new, easy-to-make desserts designed for this special occasion. They want to encourage people to experiment with Asian-baked treats, following the latest Great […]
Gluten-free
Banana, Coconut & Matcha Donuts
Another recipe in collaboration with Wing Yip, we’re still hoping to inspire more of you to get baking following National Baking Week (14 – 20th October) and of course, thanks to the ever-popular TV series, Great British Bake Off – let’s get those aprons on! Following my delicious Caramel Spiced Apple Cake recipe, this one […]
Baked Fig, Raspberry & Pear Oats
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 […]
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 […]
Peanut Butter Chocolate Frozen Cups
When you want a quick, easy, healthy and of course, DELICIOUS dessert when it’s hot outside, this is the recipe for you. These bad boys don’t take long to prepare at all and you can make ahead so they’re ready to grab from the freezer when a sugar / cool-me-down craving hits. With a chocolate […]
Chocolate Hazelnut Cookie Dough Bites
So here we have a nutty, oaty chocolate base, a high protein cookie dough layer smothered in a rich dark chocolate topping with crunchy hazelnuts and cacao nibs. The dream right?! 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 […]
Vegan Chocolate Raspberry Loaf
Everyone loves a recipe you can chuck into a bowl, mix up and bang in the oven – something that looks and tastes delicious and wonderful, without having to take up too much time, while also being secretly being a bit good for you (that’s always a bonus!). The thing with this loaf is that […]
Peanut Butter Fuel On The Go
Hands up if you’re a peanut butter lover? We certainly are over here and it’s pretty much a fact that we have about 4 jars of the stuff (at least) in the cupboards at all times. One of the key ingredients in many of my recipes, James, Thomas and I love adding it to things, […]
