Who doesn’t love Mexican food? I think it’s fair to say it’s my favourite cuisine (closely followed by Italian) – the flavours, spices, key ingredients, ways of serving – plus of course, the culture and aesthetics surrounding it. It wasn’t until I met James 7 years ago that I got into it (he’s a Mexican […]

Everyone loves a recipe you can chuck into a bowl, mix up and bang in the oven – something that looks and tastes delicious and wonderful, without having to take up too much time, while also being secretly being a bit good for you (that’s always a bonus!). The thing with this loaf is that […]
Chocolate, Cherry & Almond Tart
You may or may not be aware that Spanish Picota cherry season is upon us! And if you’re like me and LOVE juicy, slightly sweet but also slightly tart, firm but soft cherries, then I hope you’ll appreciate this [sponsored] post. Distinguished by their flavour and sweetness, Picota cherries are unique to the Jerte Valley […]
Matcha Cherry Cheesecake Pots
In the summer months I love creating light, delicious desserts that don’t take ages to make and and can simply be whizzed up, thrown together and left in the fridge. Which is where this easy recipes comes in, which couples matcha and cherry to create a vibrant combination of colours, while silken tofu is the […]
Double Chocolate Granola Loaf
A soft chocolate sponge topped with a fudgey, rich chocolate layer finished off with a nutty, crunchy granola topping = what dreams are made of. Honestly one of my favourite bakes to date, you wouldn’t guess that this dream snack / dessert / treat is actually made up of pretty good ingredients – dates, sweet […]

Another beautifully layered stack of goodness – this time made from an oaty base, chia raspberry jam middle topped with an almond butter chocolate layer – decorated with Gato & Co‘s Almond & Raspberry Cookies! Vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and no refined sugar – just like the recipe – they make a delicious and colourful addition […]
Blueberry & Banana Breakfast Cookies
I’ve only really started experimenting more with healthy cookie recipes recently and with these ones, I think I’ve nailed the soft and chewy combo with a slight crunch.

Strawberry, Kiwi & Lime Smoothie Bowl
Who doesn’t love a colourful, vibrant and health-packed smoothie bowl? To start the day, as a snack or dessert, it’s one of my favourite ways to get the fruit and veggies in (yes, sometimes I throw in celery, cucumber or spinach!), in an interesting and aesthetically pleasing way. Working again with the wonderful Mr Fitzpatrick’s […]
Lemon & Ginger Tofu Stir Fry
Cooking up a stir fry is one of my favourite go-to fast and healthy recipes for dinner. I’m obsessed with noodles (gluten-free, obviously!) – in soups, in stir fries – and love that they soak up and sit nicely surrounded by other flavours, textures and ingredients. This recipe combines plenty of veggies, rice noodles and […]
Macadamia & Cacao Granola Bites
When it comes to my #IndulgingInnocently recipes, a lot of the time I get feedback saying the easy, no-bake treats are what you guys want – healthy ingredients but not too faffy or hours in the oven to make. Also when it comes to flavour combinations, anything chocolate / caramel / nut butter is always […]
Mango, Lime & Coconut Tarts
I’m sure that many of us have been affected by mental health issues in some way – whether that be depression, anxiety, eating disorders to name but a few – and worryingly it seems to be on the rise. However one thing I’ve noticed over the past few years is how much more open we […]
Raspberry Brownie Muffins
These squidgy, fudgey, rich chocolate muffins studded with juicy raspberries and partnered with crunchy macadamia nuts make a HEAVENLY snack. And I mean heavenly.
