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 […]
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 […]
No Bake Festive Chocolate Bites
Christmas is a time for sharing – especially when it comes to sharing the love, and what better way to do this than with baking?

Chocolate Peanut Butter Donuts
Big thanks to Meridian Foods for recently sending me their new Rich Roast peanut butter jars in smooth and crunchy: made using only blanched hi-oleic peanuts sourced from Argentina which have been roasted for longer to deliver a richer and more intense flavour than traditional peanut butters. And let me tell you, the peanut buttery-ness […]

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 […]
Tom’s Oatcakes
Time has flown by and my little boy is now 9 MONTHS OLD. He’s such a happy chappy who never sits still (no wonder he builds up such an appetite!) and has four teeth coming through nicely. Tom is loving his food and enjoying a combination of spoon-feeding and feeding himself finger foods. He loves […]
