Nothing beats starting the day with a nourishing meal, one you can wrap yourself around and completely savour. This vegan and gluten free nut muesli fits the bill! I have recently jumped on the "no sugar" bandwagon (again! When will I learn?) in an attempt to reduce inflammation in my skin so this is my favourite breakfast right now. It's easily portable for those mornings when I leave the ...

Tomato Chili Jam
Preserve those babies and enjoy the fruits of your garden for months! Got tons of cherry tomatoes? I had a huge lot of all colours from the garden this year – all thanks to some early seed planting and lots of TLC! We bought a very large box of Roma tomatoes to make relish and passata also, and we made some Tomato Chili Jam – it’s amazing with everything – eggs, meat, cheese and ...
Pina Colada Mocktails
I'm a little bit obsessed with pineapple - ok, ok VERY obsessed - and coconut too, and coconut and pineapple together. Is there a better match made in heaven? I'd like to hear about it if there is. A Pina Colada is apparently the official drink of Puerto Rico, and it has tropical paradise written all over it. After much delicious experimenting, I have come up with a ...
Mango + Lime + Coconut Chia Pudding
It's the end of the Summer season, and that means cooler nights and shorter days - but don't despair - Mangoes are cheap!

Mangoes can be a bit sweet and when it was all mixed up I thought it could do with a lift, and lime juice worked ...

VEGAN + CHEESECAKE. They don't really go together, unless you've joined the cashew brigade and realise how amazing and versatile these nuts are. Read on. CHEESECAKE. Do I need to say anymore? Home made are the best, I am often disappointed by store bought ones - too rich and sweet and often not quite the right texture. What about Veganism? It is both an ideal and a way of eating, but ...
Orange + Cashew Smoothie
[vc_row][vc_column width="1/1"][vc_column_text]Orange + cashew smoothie?? Sounds strange, unless you don't like bananas and you're saying hallelujah right now. The cashews make this smoothie so creamy, and also balances out the acidity of the oranges. Add a raw egg if you want some extra protein, it adds a whole new level of creaminess too. You'll think I'm nuts until you give it a ...
Summer Fruit Porridge
My Favourite Summer Fruit Porridge Recipe Summer food is amazing isn't it? So many fresh fruits and veg available and the breakfast choices seem endless.. I thought I'd share with you one of my favourites for those times when you need a bit more than a smoothie to get you through the day. It's so easy and with the addition of the summer fruit there's no sugar or sweeteners ...
