Since Summer is slowly coming to a close, I’ve created this warming chocolate cake made with Montezuma’s incredible Spice It Up bar. ‘Tiny pieces of famous Chinese dragon ginger in dark chocolate. It doesn’t get much better!’ says co-founder Simon Pattinson, and I couldn’t agree more. I actually didn’t used to be a fan of […]

Dark Chocolate & Rose Festival Slice
With summer being festival season, it would only be right to create a new recipe for British chocolate brand Montezuma’s using one of their awesome festival themed bars for August. Not only that, but these guys are celebrating their 18th birthday milestone which is an incredible achievement for a brand! So with a colourful theme […]
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 […]
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 […]
Blueberry, Turmeric & Coconut Granola
You may have heard of The Groovy Food Company, offering coconut based products including their 100% unrefined Virgin Coconut Oil. Now they have just launched a new exciting product to the range: Virgin Coconut Oil infused with Turmeric! This colourful spice has definitely seen a rise in popularity amongst the health food world thanks to […]
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 […]

Topped with Nature’s Heart […]

Chocolate Fudge Cake – Big Chocolate Tea Party
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 […]
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 […]
