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 […]
Baby-Friendly Banana Loaf
With a very active 9 month old baby who loves his food, things to snack on are becoming more of a feature in Tom’s diet. You might have seen a recent post with a healthy oatcake recipe which he’s been loving, but I wanted to step up and make a baby-friendly banana loaf (since he […]
Sambazon Acai Immunity Boosting Bowl
As a health foodie, smoothie bowls are one of my favourite things to make – to look pretty for Instagram and a delicious way to enjoy the nutritional benefits of whizzing up whatever fruits, veggies and superfood powders I have in, topped with a variety of nuts, seeds, dried fruits or whatever else takes my […]
Superberries Mini Cheesecakes
With Spring officially here, it’s not long until flowers start to bloom and we have more colour in our life – that’s one of the reasons I love Spring so much after the dull, dreary winter. Bold, vibrant colours instantly make me feel happier which is why I’m loving the gorgeous new superfood product from […]
Chocolate & Salted Caramel Peanut Butter Bites
This has to be one of my most requested recipes – I wasn’t planning on it going on the blog but after I shared a (not very good) photo on my Instagram asking if anyone fancied it, the response was crazy! It was recently my husband James’ birthday and as part of the celebrations, we […]
Vegan Carrot Cake Muffins
Working with the wonderful wholefoods company Indigo Herbs, I’ve created a special Easter-themed recipe that also happens to be vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and contains no refined sugar – a nice break from all that chocolate and just as delicious 😉 These muffins are a twist on the classic carrot cake and are packed full of […]
Pear & Walnut Brownies
I eat nuts in some form every day. Peanut butter spooned onto something (or straight from the jar!), walnuts sprinkled over porridge, pecans baked into a recipe, or snacking on Brazil nuts – they are just very basic examples. Years ago I used to be afraid of the fat content but after reading up on […]
Cherry, Pear & Almond Cake
Mother’s Day is coming up and now the Spring is finally here (although the recent weather would say otherwise!), I wanted to celebrate by sharing one of my favourite cake recipes to date. Both my Mum and I love the combination of juicy cherries, sweet pears and nutty almonds so it was only right to […]
Clean Supper Club Collab: Smoothie Bowls 3 Ways
You may have seen that recently I collaborated with the super talented, lovely Clean Supper Club ladies to come up with some nutritious, delicious and easy breakfast recipes. Last time we went for warming, satisfying bowls of porridge; now we’re focusing on colourful, vibrant smoothie bowls with allll the toppings! Notes Each recipe serves 1. […]
Apple, Raisin & Cinnamon Baked Oats
If I had to pick a favourite fruit, apples would definitely be up there. They have to be crisp, juicy, not too sweet or too tart, and mostly red with a green twinge. I eat at least one a day; as it is, chopped up and added to a big bowl of yogurt and berries, […]
Berry Coconut Pancakes
So guys IT’S PANCAKE DAY! In case you didn’t know 😉 I’m really excited to share this recipe for some simple gluten-free, dairy-free pancakes, jazzed up with a fruity berry compote and served with coconut chips for extra crunch. I like my pancakes quite chunky and mini-sized, stacked-up, with toppings spilling down; rather than thin […]
Coconut & Berry Mocha Cups
Love is in the air…So treat your Valentine to a dessert they are not going to forget! With a no-bake coffee brownie base topped with a berry coconut cream, topped with a raw chocolate heart and drizzled with white chocolate and freeze-dried raspberries, they almost look too good to eat. A recipe in collaboration with […]

Beautiful shots and wicked typefaces, I’m a huge fan of how they creatively use the app to showcase their delicious, healthy creations. We’d met briefly at the Northern Blog Awards back in September so it was […]
