Mother’s Day is fast approaching so it’s time to start planning how to spoil Mum (or other important female in your life)! Collaborating once again with the wonderful British chocolate company Montezuma’s, I’ve created this delicious granola recipe so you can make Mum the best breakfast on the day. Cherries and chocolate, what’s not to […]
Vegan
Banana, Coffee & Pecan Cake
GO BIG ON PLANTS. That’s the message for Alpro’s annual Plant Power Day on 7th March, aiming to show just how easy it is for us to enjoy more plants while reducing your carbon footprint and helping the environment. Sharing tips, hacks, recipes and ideas, although one day won’t change the world, it only takes […]
Perfect Breakfast Pancakes
That’s right, another pancake recipe coming right at you! Because I feel like I’m getting into the swing of making them and I’m super happy with this mixture to create the perfect breakfast pancakes – which are gluten-free, dairy-free and can be vegan (if you use maple syrup in place of honey) – so great […]
Spiced Carrot Energy Bars
Say hello to Mokhado’s Avocado Oil, “your new kitchen and cooking staple”. You may be a big fan of this cold-pressed extra virgin type of oil, or thinking, what on earth is oil made from avocado? Either way, this product offers loads of benefits both in terms of being so versatile in the kitchen as […]
Chocolate, Raspberry & Beetroot Cheesecake
I spent a lot of time creating plenty of Valentine’s Day themed recipes for the brands I work with running up to February 14th so I thought I should have at least one on my blog too! Using ingredients I had to hand in my kitchen, I wanted to make an easy dessert that could […]
Energy Boosting Cherry, Coconut & Chocolate Bites
‘Delicious chocolate with good intentions’ is what Benefit Chocolate is all about. Part of the Benefit Drinks family, who make wonderful juices like carrot, beetroot and prune, I always get excited when I get the chance to work with one of my favourite ingredients! With three different 85% cacao dark chocolate bars in the range […]
Date Caramel Dandelion & Burdock Pudding
I’m posting this recipe while I’m sat by the window looking out onto a very cold, snowy garden. That’s right, the UK has been hit by the white stuff so it’s feeling very cosy indeed – and the perfect timing for a warming recipe like this one! Working once again with Mr Fitzpatrick’s Vintage Cordials, […]
Chocolate Banana Peanut Butter Slice
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 […]
Raspberry Loaf
Who doesn’t love a spot of baking? It’s fun, therapeutic and the best bit – eating the baked goods when they are ready! Whether you’re fully vegan or doing Veganuary for a challenge, baking may seem a bit daunting or uncertain if you’re not sure about what ingredients or alternatives to use compared to traditional […]

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 […]
