Cooking up a stir fry is one of my favourite go-to fast and healthy recipes for dinner. I’m obsessed with noodles (gluten-free, obviously!) – in soups, in stir fries – and love that they soak up and sit nicely surrounded by other flavours, textures and ingredients. This recipe combines plenty of veggies, rice noodles and […]

Macadamia & Cacao Granola Bites
When it comes to my #IndulgingInnocently recipes, a lot of the time I get feedback saying the easy, no-bake treats are what you guys want – healthy ingredients but not too faffy or hours in the oven to make. Also when it comes to flavour combinations, anything chocolate / caramel / nut butter is always […]
Aubergine & Sweet Potato Coconut Curry
A warming bowl of curry is a perfect dish to enjoy for lunch or dinner, especially when it’s brimming with spice and flavour. I’ve only recently got into cooking up my own veggie curries – throwing in whatever veg I’ve got in the fridge along with a selection of herbs and spices, adding some kind […]
Mango, Lime & Coconut Tarts
I’m sure that many of us have been affected by mental health issues in some way – whether that be depression, anxiety, eating disorders to name but a few – and worryingly it seems to be on the rise. However one thing I’ve noticed over the past few years is how much more open we […]
Seedy Blueberry Bars
Breakfast can be a fast and hectic occasion in the morning, which isn’t ideal when we want to fuel ourselves with something tasty and nutritious. Say hello to this delightful oaty banana bars, packed with seeds and bursting with blueberries – making a great on-the-go option or any time of the day when you need […]
Raspberry Brownie Muffins
These squidgy, fudgey, rich chocolate muffins studded with juicy raspberries and partnered with crunchy macadamia nuts make a HEAVENLY snack. And I mean heavenly. I’ve recently come across a process of using aquafaba as the main liquid source coupled with liquid sweetener and nut butter to really give a light, spongey and fluffy result in […]
Mocha Overnight Oats
Just in case you didn’t know, this week (25th April – Sunday 5th May 2019 ) is UK Coffee Week, where thousands of participating coffee shops, retailers and food service outlets fundraise for Project Waterfall – a charitable initiative bringing clean water, sanitation and education to coffee-growing communities across the world.

Vanilla Berry Cake
I’m pleased to say that this month I’ve teamed up with Perkier and International Animal Rescue for their ‘Cakes for Apes’ campaign to help raise awareness and money for the critically endangered Orangutans in West Borneo. There are only 100,000 left in the wild… But in the 10 years IAR have been going they have […]
Lemon, Cucumber & Mint Smoothie
Refreshing, zingy and bursting with goodness, this smoothie is basically summer in a glass and one of my favourite drinks I’ve whizzed up. Ideal to sip if you want a nutrient boost, you’re out in the sunshine or want to jazz up a way of hitting your fruit and veggie fix, this uses Mr Fitzpatrick’s […]
Easter Chocolate Cake
It’s somehow the 4th month of 2019 (time is flying by so fast isn’t it?) and April signals longer days, warmer weather (hopefully) and Easter time! Chocolate, chocolate and more chocolate seems to be everywhere – along with hot cross buns, little chicks, rabbits and colourful eggs and religious symbols – so from a recipe […]
Peanut Butter Carob Eggs
When it comes to making your own Easter treats, you might want something quick, simple and a little bit healthier, but still effective – which is where this recipe comes in. Homemade little eggs combining a layer of creamy peanut butter fudge with a nutty carob base to provide irresistible, indulgent bites in every mouthful. […]
Chocolate, Fig & Raspberry Cake
With Easter coming up and the season for all things chocolate, this easy and delicious cake combines figs and raspberries for extra sweetness and a fruit touch. A vegan-friendly bake using flaxseed in place of eggs, the texture is still very spongey, soft and gooey so is almost like a brownie which is even better! […]
Sweet Potato Chocolate Pots
Following on from my first post about it being International Sweet Potato Week from 4th – 18th April, it’s certainly fair to say that sweet potatoes are certainly a hugely versatile ingredient that can be used in many sweet and savoury dishes, including dessert! These pots are decadent, chocolatey and secretly healthy thanks to blending […]
Sweet Potato Veggie Biryani
Did you know that International Sweet Potato Week runs from 4th to 18th April? An initiative from The American Sweet Potato Marketing Institute to encourage everyone to incorporate more sweet potatoes into their diet, they are one of my favourite ingredients in a number of both sweet and savoury dishes – I love the naturally […]
