‘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!

Cherry & Pear Baked Oats
Recently it was a pleasure to work with drinks brand, Mr Fitzpatrick’s Vintage Cordials, a premium range of vintage cordials with a unique and quirky range of signature variations to choose from. Founded by the Dublin based Fitzpatrick’s family of herbalists in 1899, I love that they are suitable for vegans and vegetarians and the […]
Gluten-free Chunky Coconut & Cherry Biscuits
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 […]
Cherry, Pear & Almond Cake
Mother’s Day is coming up and now the Spring is finally here (although the recent weather would say otherwise!), I wanted to celebrate by sharing one of my favourite cake recipes to date. Both my Mum and I love the combination of juicy cherries, sweet pears and nutty almonds so it was only right to […]
No-Bake Mini Fruit Tarts
If you’re in need a super easy, no bake but pretty dessert to knock up for family or friends, this recipe is all you need. I had some Oatibix cereal (you could use normal Weetabix if you want) in the cupboard and thought it would make a great base for some cute little tartlets for […]
Cherry Bakewell Crumble Tartlets
Inspired by the Great British Bake Off ‘Pastry’ episode combined with a burning desire to create something cherry bakewell themed, here’s a cross between a tart and a crumble. Why not combine two dessert favourites? A buttery pastry, cinnamon-infused cherry filling and crunchy, almond crumble on top – this gluten and dairy-free, no added sugar […]
Vegan Chocolate & Coyo Cherry Bites
Here we go, another recipe using Coyo’s incredible dairy-free, vegan-friendly coconut yogurts – this time I’m using the Cherry variety in this super easy summer-themed recipe. Love chocolate? How about cherry? This combo works perfectly in these frozen ‘raw cheesecake’ treats. Simply make ahead, cut into chunks, then pop out the freezer when chocolate cravings […]
VEGAN Raw Cherry, Almond & Acai Cheesecake
Summer goes hand-in-hand with berries and chilled/frozen desserts. Which is why I thought it was time to post a recipe especially for the warmer weather we’re currently having in the UK (temperatures about 20 degrees – shocking, right?!). So, here’s a very simple but stunning dessert that you can make in advance and serve up […]
GBBO Special: Chocolate & Cherry Cheesecake Protein Brownies
I’m always up for a foodie challenge, as my recent sweet protein pizza post highlighted, so when I was approached by PhD Woman to take part in a protein bake-off competition, of course I jumped at the chance! Tasked with creating a ‘show stopper’ creation made using PhD Woman Exercise Support protein powder, the recipe […]
Cherry Bakewell Protein Cheesecake Pot
Cherries and almonds are two of my favourite ingredients combined, a taste sensation match made in heaven. Who doesn’t love the sweet and sharpness of cherries with the comforting, nutty aromas of almonds? What’s even better is that the PhD Nutrition Cherry Bakewell diet whey protein powder actually tastes like the real dessert! This pretty, […]
No-bake Chocolate & Cherry Protein Cookies
I was craving something dough-like, indulgent and chocolatey but didn’t have time to bake. A play around in the kitchen with ingredients I had in my cupboard resulted in these delicious, protein packed goodies – a combination of cacao, chocolate PhD Nutrition diet whey protein, dried cherries and cacao nibs. YUM. The best part? They […]
