When pears, cherries and almonds come together in this recipe, they create such a delicious, juicy, fruity, tangy and nutty combination that’s just irresistable. I love making simple tarts made with an oat crust and crumble topping, filled with whatever fruits you may have on hand – an effective and healthy way to enjoy a […]

Toffee Popcorn Caramel Tarts

“It’s a first in the UK. It’s innovative. It’s delicious. It’s different from everything you’ve seen before.” What am I talking about? Popcorn Shed’s Mini Pop, popcorn made from an ancient grain of white corn, which pops into tiny pieces that are about half the size the regularly popcorn – still as tasty but smaller […]

No-Bake Spiced Pumpkin & Coconut Pie

Did you know that November is World Vegan Month? For those of you who don’t know, I’m not actually vegan or veggie myself BUT I eat 90% plant-based out of choice: I live off wholegrains, fruit and vegetables, veggie protein sources like Quorn, tofu, pulses, lentils and nuts, with some dairy products and occasionally eat […]

You may have seen my post recently featuring North West-based family-run business (going for over 70 years!), Creamline Dairies, where I shared a classic Shepherd’s Pie recipe using some of the groceries and meat as part of their #bestoflocal campaign. The dairy’s doorstep delivery service combines all that’s great about the traditional milk round, with […]
Chocolate, Peanut Butter & Jam Tartlets

Back with another recipe using one of my favourite store cupboard essentials for healthy, gluten-free baking: Tiger Nut flour! As a whole, tiger nuts, are 100% gluten-free, organic, nut-free (ironically), dairy-free, low in calories and fats and ideal for those on a paleo diet. What’s more, because they have so much fibre they make you […]
