As much as I love creating my own recipes, I’m always on the lookout to be inspired and try out existing ones. Bananas are one of my staples when it comes to healthy baking as they add a natural sweetness and moisture, meaning you can cut down on fat and sugar in the recipe which […]

Chocolate, Raspberry & Beetroot Cheesecake
I spent a lot of time creating plenty of Valentine’s Day themed recipes for the brands I work with running up to February 14th so I thought I should have at least one on my blog too! Using ingredients I had to hand in my kitchen, I wanted to make an easy dessert that could […]
Energy Boosting Cherry, Coconut & Chocolate Bites
‘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! With three different 85% cacao dark chocolate bars in the range […]
Fruity Bircher Breakfast Bowl
We all know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day – even more so if we’re trying to be that little bit more health conscious in January. There are no excuses to skip it, especially if people think they don’t have time, which is where this recipe comes to the rescue. Developed […]
Pear, Cranberry & Pomegranate Oatmeal
I love coming across interesting brands so when I was approached to work with drinks brand, Mr Fitzpatrick’s Vintage Cordials, I was keen to hear more. Mr Fitzpatrick’s premium range of vintage cordials are crafted with exceptional care and artisanship, with a unique and quirky range of signature variations to choose from. Founded by the […]
No Bake Spiced Apple Crumble & Peanut Butter Tart
Can you believe we’re nearly into the last month of 2018?! Guys, where has this year gone?! Crazy. But we’re now in full swing of autumn and verging on the brink of winter… So, spiced everything, everywhere, right? In keeping with this theme – it would be rude not to, let’s be honest – this […]
Pear, Chocolate & Nut Crumble
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, […]
No-Bake Spiced Pumpkin & Coconut Pie
Did you know that November is World Vegan Month? For those of you who don’t know, I’m not actually vegan or veggie myself BUT I eat 90% plant-based out of choice: I live off wholegrains, fruit and vegetables, veggie protein sources like Quorn, tofu, pulses, lentils and nuts, with some dairy products and occasionally eat […]
Spooky Halloween Brownies
With Halloween coming up it would only be right for me to post a themed recipe wouldn’t it?! We had a mini party with some friends the weekend before the 31st and we were hosting it, so creating some spooky treats was a given. Using pumpkin within a super easy vegan and gluten-free brownie mixture, […]
Caramelised Cinnamon Apple Brownies
Healthy home baking. That’s what many of us want, right? But time can be an issue, or not being confident in the kitchen when it comes to making healthy treats, even being unsure of where to get ingredients from and not wanting to spend a fortune… Although this is a big part of my job, […]
Blueberry & Vanilla Porridge Parfait
I love coming across new brands on social media and when Yum & Yay popped up on Instagram their colourful branding caught my eye.

AO & Beko Eat Like a Pro Campaign – Healthy Family Meals
Did you know that a staggering 70 million children worldwide now suffer from obesity? That’s pretty shocking. Living a healthy lifestyle – not just short-term fads and trends – is something I’m extremely passionate about, even more so now that I’m a mum and have my own family. Eating well and exercising needn’t cost the […]
Wellness Boosting Smoothie Bowl
Can you believe that summer is nearly over? Gone is the heatwave we enjoyed for three months and instead we’re thinking about going back to school/work, digging the boats and coats out and welcoming autumn with pumpkin lattes at the ready. I don’t know about you but the change in weather and seasons really affects […]
Making Healthy Breakfast Recipes with Nadiya Hussain
As you’ll probably see from the title, I was incredibly lucky to get to work with Great British Bake Off’s Nadiya in my very own kitchen, filmed for her latest series on BBC2, Nadiya’s Family Favourites. I still can’t quite get my head around how this all happened but what an amazing opportunity it’s been! […]
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 […]
