REVIEW: Gluten-free afternoon tea at The Midland
It’s nice to treat yourself sometimes, whether that’s getting your nails or hair done, a spot of shopping, having a bath, simply reading a book or indulging in some delicious and exquisite edible delights. The latter was what I enjoyed recently, thanks to being invited down to The Midland, “a much-loved part of this magnificent […]
REVIEW: Lunching at Wahaca
Who doesn’t love Mexican food? I think it’s fair to say it’s my favourite cuisine (closely followed by Italian) – the flavours, spices, key ingredients, ways of serving – plus of course, the culture and aesthetics surrounding it. It wasn’t until I met James 7 years ago that I got into it (he’s a Mexican […]
Lemon & Ginger Tofu Stir Fry
Cooking up a stir fry is one of my favourite go-to fast and healthy recipes for dinner. I’m obsessed with noodles (gluten-free, obviously!) – in soups, in stir fries – and love that they soak up and sit nicely surrounded by other flavours, textures and ingredients. This recipe combines plenty of veggies, rice noodles and […]
Aubergine & Sweet Potato Coconut Curry
A warming bowl of curry is a perfect dish to enjoy for lunch or dinner, especially when it’s brimming with spice and flavour. I’ve only recently got into cooking up my own veggie curries – throwing in whatever veg I’ve got in the fridge along with a selection of herbs and spices, adding some kind […]

Veggie ‘Pulled Pork’ BBQ Nachos
Back in autumn last year, I created a recipe in collaboration with Jack Daniel’s using their delicious BBQ sauces. This time round as part of their latest campaign, I’ve gone down the veggie route to show off how versatile the products and how easy it is to cook with them. While BBQ sauces are mostly associated […]
Vegan Courgette, Pea & Spinach Pesto Risotto
To coincide with World Vegan Month I was invited to create a recipe using Sacla’s new free-from pesto. Now I don’t know about you but I absolutely ADORE the stuff – red, green, I really don’t mind, I just love the rich, powerful flavour of this kitchen cupboard staple. While many pesto sauces contain Parmesan […]
Veggie Chilli-Loaded Sweet Potato Fries
I’m sure many of us are keen to hunt down quick, convenient and healthy foods when time is short but we still want to eat well. Although I’m not usually one for ‘convenience foods, when award-winning brand Strong Roots got in touch with their mission to ‘revolutionise frozen food’, I was intrigued. Having just launched […]
