Biscotti are Italian almond biscuits are twice-baked, oblong-shaped, dry, crunchy, and may be dipped in a drink – which sounds like perfection! Here I’ve made a gluten-free, dairy-free and vegan alternative flavoured with carob and cinnamon, packed with juicy goji berries and dark chocolate for extra flavour and texture. High in protein thanks to the […]

Mini Christmas Puddings
I must admit I’ve never been a fan of Christmas pudding, as a child and even now when gluten-free versions are available. But I absolutely adore the sweet, warming hints of cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg alongside the strong, bold flavours of dried fruit and nuts. These little treats are inspired by the festive classic made […]
Festive Panforte
Ahhh the scents of cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg filling the kitchen as a festive bake is in the oven…Delightful! A traditional chewy Italian dessert containing fruits and nuts, this Panforte is a gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan and no refined sugar version containing dried blueberries for a tasty twist. Working in [paid] collaboration with Indigo Herbs, this […]
Spiced Carrot, Orange & Cranberry Energy Bars
As we’re heading into winter, it’s all about those warming spices – ginger, cinnamon – as well as bold, colourful ingredients like dried cranberries and pumpkin seeds. Coupled with the burst of orange zest and sneaking in some grated carrot and mashed banana for adding nutrients, these chunky snack bar are bursting with taste, texture […]
Raspberry & White Chocolate Cookies
What happens when you get raspberries + white chocolate + the best crunchy-on-the-outside, soft-in-the-inside cookies? This recipe! So simple to make and absolutely delicious to eat (especially when they’re still warm, fresh out of the oven), I can guarantee they will go down a treat. This vegan-friendly recipe would work amazingly with dark chocolate instead […]
Vegan White Chocolate, Cacao & Coconut Bites
Here’s a story about this recipe – it was featured in the October issue of Vegan Living magazine which was pretty cool! I always love seeing my recipes and photography in print; there’s something so satisfying about it, something that bit more meaningful than simply seeing it on a screen. It’s one of my favourite […]
Pumpkin & Chocolate Swirl Slice
Pumpkin is incredibly popular at this time of year – mostly as a means of carving and creating scary designs, but we shouldn’t let that delicious mild flesh inside go to waste! Remove the thick skin, cut into cubes and steam then blend – and there you go, your very own (cheaper) pumpkin puree. I […]
Caramelised Banana, Nut Butter & Chocolate Porridge
It’s officially porridge season – colder, darker mornings call for something warmer, filling and nutritious to kick off the day, and porridge is the ideal thing! However you choose to serve it, and what goes in or on top of that bowl, is totally down to you – whatever you go for, there are countless […]

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.

These deliciously gooey, rich and decadent brownies are the […]
