Today has to be my favourite ‘National [insert food here’ Day’ – PEANUT BUTTER DAY. It’s my answer when someone asks what’s the food I can’t live without. 100% I consume it in some way or form every day, and I still can’t decide if I prefer crunchy or smooth to be honest! In celebration […]

Plant-based Eating at Vertigo
It’s so encouraging to see the plant-based trend continue with full force as we’re well into the swing of January – sorry, Veganuary. Whether you’re vegan or not, anyone reducing meat consumption is helping the environment and animal welfare and it’s great to see such a positive movement being reflected in menus in restaurants – […]
Raspberry Chocolate & Coconut Blondies
Mmmmmm BLONDIES. I’ve always seen them as a brownie’s less popular cousin, which is crazy as they are slightly less rich if you’re not in the chocolate mood, but still delicious and fudgey. With this recipe I think I’ve nailed a banging vegan mixture which is packed with juicy raspberries and Seed & Bean’s wonderfully […]
Chocolate Chunk Cookie Dough Bites
These vegan-friendly cookie dough bites are genuinely one of the best things I’ve made. Almost like a mix between a cookie and shortbread biscuit, it’s simply made from oats and cashews blended with coconut oil, nut butter and maple syrup to provide the creamiest base spiked with delicious chunks of Montezuma’s incredible Like No Udder […]
Rhubarb, Rose & Orange Berry Traybake
Another collaboration with Mr Fitzpatrick’s Vintage Cordials ahoy! It’s always a pleasure to work with this wonderful drinks brand using their no added sugar cordials, they pack in such a punch of flavour and it’s nice to use them as a natural flavouring and boost things like cakes, loafs and other healthy bakes. This time […]
Salted Caramel, Peanut Butter & Chocolate Bites
January is all about green juices, detoxes and zero treats, right? WRONG. I’m all about balance, health and not succumbing to ridiculous trends or jumping on meaningless, damaging bandwagons of slimming teas, weight loss shakes or fat-burning tablets… Instead, treating healthy living as a long-term way of life, enjoying food and exercising for the body […]
Chocolate Orange Cheesecake Tart
I’ve been a big fan of Perkier! for many years, a brand offering some healthy gluten-free products like porridge pots and snack bars which are all palm-oil free and full of goodness. It’s been a pleasure to work with these guys and create recipes in the past which is why I’m so excited to be sharing […]
Raw White Chocolate & Peanut Butter Festive Cake
OK guys, this is one of the recipes I’m most proud of to date. Working with the wonderful Pic’s peanut butter, this festive dessert is a feast in itself and certainly worth making every element: An oat, date and nut mixed spice base topped with a salted peanut butter and maple syrup middle layer, finished […]
Cranberry, Almond & Apple Loaf
In the run up to Christmas it’s all getting very festive in my kitchen, making all sorts of healthy treats working with some exciting brands! Including a collaboration once again with the wonderful drinks brand, Mr Fitzpatrick’s Vintage Cordials. Using varieties from their no added sugar range, this time around it’s the English Elderflower & […]
No Bake Festive Chocolate Bites
Christmas is a time for sharing – especially when it comes to sharing the love, and what better way to do this than with baking? The main reason I enjoy this time of year is because it brings family and friends together, celebrating and sharing experiences, laughs and quality time as well as presents. With […]

No Bake Spiced Apple Crumble & Peanut Butter Tart
