Winter has officially arrived! After a beautiful summer we’re really feeling the cold, so we’re going to need something to warm us up. My latest recipe working with the fantastic British chocolate company, Montezuma’s, is sure to do just that! A generous layer of cinnamon coated pears – feel free to use any seasonal fruits, […]

Dark Chocolate, Pear & Ginger Cake
Since Summer is slowly coming to a close, I’ve created this warming chocolate cake made with Montezuma’s incredible Spice It Up bar. ‘Tiny pieces of famous Chinese dragon ginger in dark chocolate. It doesn’t get much better!’ says co-founder Simon Pattinson, and I couldn’t agree more. I actually didn’t used to be a fan of […]
Peanut Butter Chocolate Cookie Sandwiches
As a self-confessed peanut butter lover, I can’t tell you how excited I am to be working with New Zealand-based Pic’s once again, creating more divine recipes and also talking about how my toddler loves it just as much as I do and how he likes to enjoy it! I’ve spotted Pic’s peanut butter in […]
Berry, Chocolate & Vanilla Nice Cream Sundae
As a mum to a now one year old (how was that happened?!) I was thrilled to be approached by biscuit brand Bahlsen, who make gluten-free, lactose-free Zoo Imagination treats for little ones. Using high quality ingredients, they have actually mastered making a delicious biscuit you’d never guess is free from gluten, woohoo! And yes […]
Dark Chocolate & Rose Festival Slice
With summer being festival season, it would only be right to create a new recipe for British chocolate brand Montezuma’s using one of their awesome festival themed bars for August. Not only that, but these guys are celebrating their 18th birthday milestone which is an incredible achievement for a brand! So with a colourful theme […]
Chocolate Cake Donuts
I recently worked with The Groovy Food Company, creating a recipe using one of their newest products: Virgin Coconut Oil infused with Turmeric. This time around it’s all about their Organic Creamed Coconut, which I couldn’t wait to try as I’m obsessed with all things coconut – to eat and any form of toiletry! Made […]
Kefir-Quark Crustless Cheesecakes
Always up for a blogger recipe challenge, I was recently approached by Bio-tiful Kefir-Quark to get involved in their latest campaign. The world’s first combination of bio-live Kefir and high-protein Quark, Bio-tiful Kefir-Quark combines two of the best and most nutritious dairy products, resulting in an abundant list of health benefits and a thick, creamy […]
Oppo Chia Pudding Smoothie Bowls 2 Ways
So the heatwave in the UK is STILL going strong (isn’t this what this season should be like anyway?) which means for many of us, we’re craving chilled or frozen foods to help keep us cool. Plus the thought of cooking or baking just goes straight out the window when it’s already like 30 degrees […]
Chocolate Strawberry Tartlets
Another month, another recipe for the fabulous British chocolate company, Montezuma’s! This time using their super moreish, vegan-friendly 58% Cocoa Dark Chocolate Giant Buttons, I thought I’d create something summery using one of my favourite fruits (and a perfect match with chocolate): STRAWBERRIES! These no-bake tartlets are really straight-forward to prepare and can be made […]
Berry & Granola Lollies
We’ve been so lucky here in the UK this summer, with endless days of sunshine, blue skies and high temperatures. It’s times like this when we crave things to help cool us down – cold showers, ice cold drinks, a bit of shade and of course, ICE LOLLIES AND ICE CREAM! There’s something so satisfying […]
Berrylicious Ice Lollies
In the third part of my collaboration with wonderful superfood brand, Nature’s Heart Superfoods, this time it’s all about DESSERT. With summer just around the corner and after the heatwave we enjoyed recently, I wanted to keep the sunny vibes going and make some simple, colourful and healthy lollies! Bananas, berries, yogurt and the Omega […]
Berry & Carob Ice Cream Cake
Some of you may may know that I work closely with Supertreats, who offer delicious caffeine-free, refined sugar free carob bars as a healthier alternative to chocolate. Silky Milky, Cheery Chia (just like chocolate orange with chia seeds) and Merry Berry (loaded with blueberries) complete the range, all as tasty as each other and packed […]
Chocolate Fudge Cake – Big Chocolate Tea Party
Every Spring, The Sick Children’s Trust run their biggest annual fundraiser, Big Chocolate Tea, which encourages anyone to bake, drink tea and eat cake for a good cause. YEARS ago my friend Ruby and I teamed up and hosted our own Mad Hatter’s themed one in North Yorkshire which was so much fun and went down […]
Chocolate Mousse & Freeze-Dried Berry Tarts
You might have noticed that I love adding a touch of freeze-dried berries (mainly raspberries) to finish off recipes, just because it makes them look that little bit prettier while also adding a splash of colour and touch of flavour. So when the opportunity came up to work with Lio-Liocious, a European freeze-drying company specialising […]
Baby-Friendly Banana Bread & Butter Pudding
The other day I was thinking of what I could make Tom for a dessert that was easy and simple to make and uses ingredients we’d most likely have in. He absolutely loves bread and and bananas then I realised – BREAD AND BUTTER PUDDING! I’ve always thought of it as a strange pudding to […]
