Homemade almond milk is completely and utterly delicious and very different to it’s shop-bought counterpart. It took me a long time to get round to making my own almond milk but when I did it was a revelation and totally transformed my breakfasts. It’s refreshingly light and creamy and I particularly enjoy pouring it…
This is my favourite ‘go-to’ recipe it’s just fantastic for a quick and easy family meal. All the ingredients are tossed into the blender and then poured over spiralized courgette or sweet potato. My children prefer spaghetti and this is a perfect stir-in sauce too. I’ve even had this sauce as a soup and it…
My husband Ed calls this my wall of jars and I love it! I wanted to display all the lovely nuts and seeds that go into my cooking. Little items that I grab a pinch of to garnish soup or salad; tasty little morsels such as pine nuts and sunflower seeds. Just one date can…
The most used item in my kitchen is without a doubt my Nutri Bullet blender; it’s used at least 5-6 times a day. I use it to make almond milk, soups, dressings-and sauces, grinding nuts, smoothies and all manner of pates and spreads. Almost every meal I make requires the blender. See it in action…

Chia seed pudding is one of my favourite desserts. Once made up the chia is so mild that it can be flavoured very easily with whatever you fancy. My favourite is matcha chia seed pudding which is made by simply mixing some matcha green tea into the chia seeds along with almond milk. Chia is…
This is one of my favourite breakfasts when I want something easy and very filling. The banana chia recipe I found on the lovely Oh She Glows website. It’s left overnight so that the chia seeds can thicken and swell in the banana and almond milk mixture, then half the breakfast is ready for when you…
I found this refreshing salad on the pages of Raw Freedom by Saskia Fraser. Its lovely and crunchy and has a hint of the exotic but is easy enough to make any time, we even made it whilst on a motor home holiday with limited surfaces to work on and even fewer kitchen utensils. Though…
