Beloved
Banana, Caramel & Tiger Nut Bars
Ever heard of tiger nuts? Believe it or not, they aren’t ACTUALLY a nut (crazy, right?). They are a small root vegetable, grown in a field and harvested in a similar way to a potato. Tiger nuts have a chewy texture and a sweet, nutty flavour reminiscent of coconut and packed full of super healthy […]
Leftover Easter chocolate? Make these Vanilla & Almond Cookies!
I know, I know – there may not even be such thing as ‘leftover chocolate’ from Easter…But if, like me, you were given the darker, richer variety, it seems to last that little bit longer. So with some Lindt Excellence 70% dark chocolate egg to spare, rather than just shove it in my mouth I […]
Clean Chocolate & Almond Cheesecake
I’m a bit excited about this recipe…It really is one of my all-time favourites. Honestly, that first mouthful is just foodgasmic.

Vida Yoga @ Lululemon + Raw Cranberry, Ginger & Peanut Bites

Chunky chestnuts, festive spices and an oaty, crunchy topping, this […]
Cinnamon Roasted Fig & Orange Tartlets
Imagine: An almondy, orange-scented buttery pastry case. A thick, smooth and decadent orange infused cream filling. Topped off with caramelised, cinnamon roasted figs to go on top, sprinkled with aromatic rose petals. HELLO. Well, all that is a true story, as you’ll see from the recipe below. What’s even BETTER, is that everything described above […]

These no-bake tartlets are so simple and easy to make, and are a great alternative for those who want a more innocent version of these festive treats. Ingredients: For the mincemeat – […]
Homemade Low-Sugar Spiced Mincemeat
I must confess, I’m not the biggest fan of dried fruit, never mind Christmas-related sweet goodies like mince pies or Christmas pudding. However this year I thought I’d have a go at making my own lower sugar mincemeat based on apples, mainly because my parents’ apple tree at their cottage in Ripon had been particularly […]
