You may or may not be aware that Spanish Picota cherry season is upon us! And if you’re like me and LOVE juicy, slightly sweet but also slightly tart, firm but soft cherries, then I hope you’ll appreciate this [sponsored] post. Distinguished by their flavour and sweetness, Picota cherries are unique to the Jerte Valley […]

Matcha Cherry Cheesecake Pots
In the summer months I love creating light, delicious desserts that don’t take ages to make and and can simply be whizzed up, thrown together and left in the fridge. Which is where this easy recipes comes in, which couples matcha and cherry to create a vibrant combination of colours, while silken tofu is the […]
Berry, Chocolate & Vanilla Nice Cream Sundae
As a mum to a now one year old (how was that happened?!) I was thrilled to be approached by biscuit brand Bahlsen, who make gluten-free, lactose-free Zoo Imagination treats for little ones. Using high quality ingredients, they have actually mastered making a delicious biscuit you’d never guess is free from gluten, woohoo! And yes […]
Peach, Blueberry & Almond Cake
Nature’s Finest Foods kindly sent me a selection of their fruit pots which are ideal if you’re on the go, want to add cooked fruit to recipes, or give to little ones to nibble on – Thomas loves the peach slices especially as they are soft on his teeth. I’ve been a fan of these […]
Kefir-Quark Crustless Cheesecakes
Always up for a blogger recipe challenge, I was recently approached by Bio-tiful Kefir-Quark to get involved in their latest campaign. The world’s first combination of bio-live Kefir and high-protein Quark, Bio-tiful Kefir-Quark combines two of the best and most nutritious dairy products, resulting in an abundant list of health benefits and a thick, creamy […]
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 […]
Chocolate Strawberry Tartlets
Another month, another recipe for the fabulous British chocolate company, Montezuma’s! This time using their super moreish, vegan-friendly 58% Cocoa Dark Chocolate Giant Buttons, I thought I’d create something summery using one of my favourite fruits (and a perfect match with chocolate): STRAWBERRIES! These no-bake tartlets are really straight-forward to prepare and can be made […]
How To Be Happy & Healthy This Summer
I actually cannot believe how lucky we have been with the weather this summer in the UK; weeks of sunshine, blue skies and scorching temperatures. In fact, I’ve been pretty much living outside either in the garden or being outdoors and making the most of it! Alongside taking advantage of lots of vitamin D, I’ve […]
Berry & Granola Lollies
We’ve been so lucky here in the UK this summer, with endless days of sunshine, blue skies and high temperatures. It’s times like this when we crave things to help cool us down – cold showers, ice cold drinks, a bit of shade and of course, ICE LOLLIES AND ICE CREAM! There’s something so satisfying […]
Hot Mochachino & Vanilla Nice Cream Shake
Guys, this is pretty exciting: I’m working together with British chocolate company Montezuma’s as their regular guest contributor, woohoo! The first recipe uses their hot chocolate discs, which might sound unusual considering you’d perhaps associate hot chocolate with winter time, but this is actually a fantastic drink to whizz up when it’s hot and sunny; […]
Berrylicious Ice Lollies
In the third part of my collaboration with wonderful superfood brand, Nature’s Heart Superfoods, this time it’s all about DESSERT. With summer just around the corner and after the heatwave we enjoyed recently, I wanted to keep the sunny vibes going and make some simple, colourful and healthy lollies! Bananas, berries, yogurt and the Omega […]
Berry & Carob Ice Cream Cake
Some of you may may know that I work closely with Supertreats, who offer delicious caffeine-free, refined sugar free carob bars as a healthier alternative to chocolate. Silky Milky, Cheery Chia (just like chocolate orange with chia seeds) and Merry Berry (loaded with blueberries) complete the range, all as tasty as each other and packed […]
Summer Fruit Custard Cheesecake
Well it’s officially the last day of summer. WHAT THE. And yes I say ‘summer’ lightly; we’ve had the odd sunny day here and there, I’m hoping September might treat us to slightly nicer weather! So I thought it would be appropriate to post my last summer themed recipe of this year before we head […]
Fruity Vanilla Overnight Oats
Another post in collaboration with Alpro and their plant-based yogurts and drinks, this time it’s all about the most important meal of the day: BREAKFAST. Overnight oats has to be one of the most simple things to make and enjoy – all you need to do is mix the ingredients together the night before then […]
Strawberry, Nectarine & Almond Picnic Cake
I know we’re nearing the end of summer but there’s still hope we can get outside and enjoy some al fresco dining or even a picnic if we’re lucky! Working together with Alpro, their plant-based Big Pots and drinks are perfect additions to your favourite savoury and sweet staples. Making use of fruits in season, […]
