Sweet Potato, Edamame, Feta & Pomegranate Salad
As part of a campaign with American Sweet Potatoes to celebrate International Sweet Potato Week (from 1st – 13th April), I’ve been challenged to create a series of recipes showing how versatile and delicious sweet potatoes are.

Orange, Almond & Polenta Cake
With Mother’s Day coming up and the signs of Spring in full bloom, it’s all about vibrant colours and a change in direction for foods we’re craving.

Honestly, your kitchen will smell INSANE when they’re cooking. Coupled with kale, leeks, feta and pomegranate seeds, plus a dressing with my secret weapon ingredient: Urban Chutney (seriously, […]
Vanilla & Pomegranate Protein Slices
