A warming bowl of curry is a perfect dish to enjoy for lunch or dinner, especially when it’s brimming with spice and flavour. I’ve only recently got into cooking up my own veggie curries – throwing in whatever veg I’ve got in the fridge along with a selection of herbs and spices, adding some kind […]

Vegan Courgette, Pea & Spinach Pesto Risotto
To coincide with World Vegan Month I was invited to create a recipe using Sacla’s new free-from pesto. Now I don’t know about you but I absolutely ADORE the stuff – red, green, I really don’t mind, I just love the rich, powerful flavour of this kitchen cupboard staple. While many pesto sauces contain Parmesan […]

Spiralising, Shredding & Slicing with the Veggie Bullet

A Weekend Away with Health Blogger Babes
Morning HIIT workouts, treks in the countryside, cooking up a storm, chats over a bottle of Prosecco (because, BALANCE)…Yep, THIS is pretty much what happens when five health, food and fitness blogger girls go away for a long weekend… One of the best things about social media and blogging is coming across like-minded people, having a […]

Going Crazy For rawCo Coconut Products
