Spiced Pumpkin & Pecan Loaf
Is it even autumn if you don’t include pumpkin, cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg in some kind of recipe? Especially when you combine all of these flavours with a ‘caramel’ element thanks to using the wonder ingredient, tahini, alongside Sweet Freedom’s caramel syrup! Honestly, this loaf is one of my favourite autumnal recipes I’ve baked and […]
Maple Fig & Almond Cake
I absolutely adore figs and there’s something about roasting them in maple syrup and cinnamon that really brings the autumn seasons to life – plus the smell in the kitchen is divine! In fact, ground ginger would also work wonderfully in this easy gluten-free cake recipe, coupled with almonds and coconut sugar for a deep […]

Berry Chocolate Coconut Tartlets

Cherry Coconut Flapjacks
When I was invited to be involved in the Jerte Picota Cherries summer campaign [paid post] to create a recipe based on snacking, flapjacks popped straight into my head. Coupled with a strong coconut vibe – using flakes, sugar and oil – these juicy cherries are the perfect addition to this traditional sweet treat. These […]
Apricot, Chocolate & Pumpkin Seed Energy Bars
For me, an oaty energy bar has to be chewy, not too dry or crumbly, be packed with flavour and texture and have the right balance of nuts or seeds with dried fruit – it’s sometimes a tough ratio to crack! With the addition of some cheeky chocolate chunks and a drizzle on top, these […]

‘Pineapple and cheese is an undisputed retro party classic. We’ve given it a modern twist with spiced halloumi and a zingy little salsa.’ Cheers to HelloFresh for the inspiration on this vegetarian recipe – a delicious combination of some of my favourite ingredients and flavours. As part of a [sponsored post] challenge, I had to […]
