After watching Vegan Week on Great British Bake Off, where the contestants used aquafaba (aka chickpea water) in one of the challenges, I was inspired to try using the unusual, unassuming ingredient in a new recipe. Now, I’ll always wonder how and why on earth someone out there thought about using water drained from a […]

Chocolate Peanut Butter Donuts
Big thanks to Meridian Foods for recently sending me their new Rich Roast peanut butter jars in smooth and crunchy: made using only blanched hi-oleic peanuts sourced from Argentina which have been roasted for longer to deliver a richer and more intense flavour than traditional peanut butters. And let me tell you, the peanut buttery-ness […]

Dark Chocolate, Pear & Ginger Cake
Since Summer is slowly coming to a close, I’ve created this warming chocolate cake made with Montezuma’s incredible Spice It Up bar. ‘Tiny pieces of famous Chinese dragon ginger in dark chocolate. It doesn’t get much better!’ says co-founder Simon Pattinson, and I couldn’t agree more. I actually didn’t used to be a fan of […]
Peanut Butter Chocolate Cookie Sandwiches
As a self-confessed peanut butter lover, I can’t tell you how excited I am to be working with New Zealand-based Pic’s once again, creating more divine recipes and also talking about how my toddler loves it just as much as I do and how he likes to enjoy it! I’ve spotted Pic’s peanut butter in […]
Chocolate Protein Breakfast Muffins

So why not make your own super easy, energy and protein packed treats that taste like having a dessert for breakfast? Simply throw the muffin ingredients into […]
Wellness Boosting Smoothie Bowl
Can you believe that summer is nearly over? Gone is the heatwave we enjoyed for three months and instead we’re thinking about going back to school/work, digging the boats and coats out and welcoming autumn with pumpkin lattes at the ready. I don’t know about you but the change in weather and seasons really affects […]
Making Healthy Breakfast Recipes with Nadiya Hussain
As you’ll probably see from the title, I was incredibly lucky to get to work with Great British Bake Off’s Nadiya in my very own kitchen, filmed for her latest series on BBC2, Nadiya’s Family Favourites. I still can’t quite get my head around how this all happened but what an amazing opportunity it’s been! […]
Berry, Chocolate & Vanilla Nice Cream Sundae
As a mum to a now one year old (how was that happened?!) I was thrilled to be approached by biscuit brand Bahlsen, who make gluten-free, lactose-free Zoo Imagination treats for little ones. Using high quality ingredients, they have actually mastered making a delicious biscuit you’d never guess is free from gluten, woohoo! And yes […]
Dark Chocolate & Rose Festival Slice

Chocolate Cake Donuts
I recently worked with The Groovy Food Company, creating a recipe using one of their newest products: Virgin Coconut Oil infused with Turmeric. This time around it’s all about their Organic Creamed Coconut, which I couldn’t wait to try as I’m obsessed with all things coconut – to eat and any form of toiletry! Made […]
Peach, Blueberry & Almond Cake
Nature’s Finest Foods kindly sent me a selection of their fruit pots which are ideal if you’re on the go, want to add cooked fruit to recipes, or give to little ones to nibble on – Thomas loves the peach slices especially as they are soft on his teeth. I’ve been a fan of these […]
