Spiked with strawberries and a hint of lemon, these freeze-dried redcurrants make the ideal partnership with a light and spongy cake and creamy topping. Easy to make gluten-free, dairy-free and vegan, this would be great to make for a special occasion or to impress. Another recipe working with freeze-dried product brand, Lio Licious, this recipe […]

Chocolate, Banana & Coconut Pancakes
So Pancake Day is upon us which for some might just be a standard day – I mean, who DOESN’T like pancakes?? To be honest, which might come as a surprise, I don’t actually make them as much as I’d like to so when The Groovy Food Company got in touch about re-creating their breakfast […]
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 […]

Chocolate Banana Peanut Butter Slice
Today has to be my favourite ‘National [insert food here’ Day’ – PEANUT BUTTER DAY. It’s my answer when someone asks what’s the food I can’t live without. 100% I consume it in some way or form every day, and I still can’t decide if I prefer crunchy or smooth to be honest! In celebration […]
Raspberry Loaf

Fruity Bircher Breakfast Bowl

Salted Caramel, Peanut Butter & Chocolate Bites
January is all about green juices, detoxes and zero treats, right? WRONG. I’m all about balance, health and not succumbing to ridiculous trends or jumping on meaningless, damaging bandwagons of slimming teas, weight loss shakes or fat-burning tablets… Instead, treating healthy living as a long-term way of life, enjoying food and exercising for the body […]
