In case you didn’t know, National Biscuit Day is coming up on 29th May. So it was cool to hear from The Groovy Food Company, ‘an award-winning British brand committed to sourcing and producing natural foods that taste delicious and nourish the body’s overall health and wellbeing’, who wondered if I fancied recreating their delicious […]
Healthy
Berry & Carob Ice Cream Cake
Some of you may may know that I work closely with Supertreats, who offer delicious caffeine-free, refined sugar free carob bars as a healthier alternative to chocolate. Silky Milky, Cheery Chia (just like chocolate orange with chia seeds) and Merry Berry (loaded with blueberries) complete the range, all as tasty as each other and packed […]
Chocolate Fudge Cake – Big Chocolate Tea Party
Every Spring, The Sick Children’s Trust run their biggest annual fundraiser, Big Chocolate Tea, which encourages anyone to bake, drink tea and eat cake for a good cause. YEARS ago my friend Ruby and I teamed up and hosted our own Mad Hatter’s themed one in North Yorkshire which was so much fun and went down […]
Chocolate Mousse & Freeze-Dried Berry Tarts
You might have noticed that I love adding a touch of freeze-dried berries (mainly raspberries) to finish off recipes, just because it makes them look that little bit prettier while also adding a splash of colour and touch of flavour. So when the opportunity came up to work with Lio-Liocious, a European freeze-drying company specialising […]
Baked Eggs & Garlic Sweet Potatoes
I’m back again with a delicious new brunch recipe that’s quick and easy to make. This time I’ve used Strong Roots products – a relatively new brand offering an innovative, delicious and nutritious range of vegetables and plant based meals to help those with busy lifestyles cut corners in the kitchen and enjoy healthy food […]
Cardamom Coconut Rice Pudding & Stewed Plums
Ahh the great big sugar debate. It’s been a part of our diet for hundreds of years and remains a staple of our everyday lives but has come under so much scrutiny that it’s become the F word of the food industry. From being linked to obesity and diabetes and blamed for a dental decay […]
Baby-Friendly Banana Loaf
With a very active 9 month old baby who loves his food, things to snack on are becoming more of a feature in Tom’s diet. You might have seen a recent post with a healthy oatcake recipe which he’s been loving, but I wanted to step up and make a baby-friendly banana loaf (since he […]
Sambazon Acai Immunity Boosting Bowl
As a health foodie, smoothie bowls are one of my favourite things to make – to look pretty for Instagram and a delicious way to enjoy the nutritional benefits of whizzing up whatever fruits, veggies and superfood powders I have in, topped with a variety of nuts, seeds, dried fruits or whatever else takes my […]
Superberries Mini Cheesecakes
With Spring officially here, it’s not long until flowers start to bloom and we have more colour in our life – that’s one of the reasons I love Spring so much after the dull, dreary winter. Bold, vibrant colours instantly make me feel happier which is why I’m loving the gorgeous new superfood product from […]
Chocolate & Salted Caramel Peanut Butter Bites
This has to be one of my most requested recipes – I wasn’t planning on it going on the blog but after I shared a (not very good) photo on my Instagram asking if anyone fancied it, the response was crazy! It was recently my husband James’ birthday and as part of the celebrations, we […]
Vegan Carrot Cake Muffins
Working with the wonderful wholefoods company Indigo Herbs, I’ve created a special Easter-themed recipe that also happens to be vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and contains no refined sugar – a nice break from all that chocolate and just as delicious 😉 These muffins are a twist on the classic carrot cake and are packed full of […]
Pear & Walnut Brownies
I eat nuts in some form every day. Peanut butter spooned onto something (or straight from the jar!), walnuts sprinkled over porridge, pecans baked into a recipe, or snacking on Brazil nuts – they are just very basic examples. Years ago I used to be afraid of the fat content but after reading up on […]
Rich Chocolate Coffee Tarts
I’m very aware that chocolate will be a strong theme this month with Easter coming up, so I thought why not jump on that bandwagon and embrace it?! As you know I create a recipe working with the wonderful Percol Coffee every month so with this celebration and also Mother’s Day in mind, I wanted […]
Clean Supper Club Collab: Smoothie Bowls 3 Ways
You may have seen that recently I collaborated with the super talented, lovely Clean Supper Club ladies to come up with some nutritious, delicious and easy breakfast recipes. Last time we went for warming, satisfying bowls of porridge; now we’re focusing on colourful, vibrant smoothie bowls with allll the toppings! Notes Each recipe serves 1. […]
Apple, Raisin & Cinnamon Baked Oats
If I had to pick a favourite fruit, apples would definitely be up there. They have to be crisp, juicy, not too sweet or too tart, and mostly red with a green twinge. I eat at least one a day; as it is, chopped up and added to a big bowl of yogurt and berries, […]
