When I was a kid, French toast or eggy bread was the biggest treat. I didn’t actually realise there was a difference between the two; to me both meant a sweet breakfast. Whilst there’s honestly not that much you can do to improve upon the classic, flavoured simply with sugar and cinnamon, I am rather […]

Question: when does a flapjack become a granola bar? It is something that I found myself pondering over whilst trying to decide what to call these bars, that probably fall somewhere between the two. I’m very fond of making these sort of bars for pack ups and snacks on the go. They’re reasonably robust and […]

Easter is a funny time of year. It is a holiday that is supposed to mark the coming of spring and yet the weather invariably is not dissimilar to Christmas -cool, damp and unpredictable. Because of this, I feel warming meals are still very much required, albeit with a bit of freshness. My friend Arianna […]

Pancake day has come around pretty early this year but I’m already planning on getting sweet and savoury pancakes into my week. My housemate has been making me lots of spinach pancakes recently so I decided to make my own twist on it ready for Tuesday and many brunches beyond. Valentine’s Day also falls this week. […]

This post would probably have been better posted a month ago but it was too good not to share with you even though the pumpkin spiced latte has been truly replaced by the gingerbread. In contrast to the drink this is inspired by, my porridge has actual pumpkin in it. This porridge came about as […]

Invariably, these cakes get smothered in icing and topped with mini eggs -what’s not to love? Plus, now that family time is something that happens less often, […]

Despite not thinking twice about making a fresh stock from a leftover roasted chicken, doing the same thing with vegetables isn’t something that I have traditionally been in the habit of. However, it is a really great way to improve soups and dishes with pure, nutrient dense ingredients. The best thing is, is that […]

You know when you have a snack that you just want to keep on eating? These brownies are it. I’m pining over them since unless I splurge on a food processor or NutriBullet for my year abroad (tempting, tempting…) I’m unlikely to be whipping up a batch any time soon. I was inspired to make […]

Every health blogger’s favourite leafy green is currently in season in the UK, and is just begging to be put into as many dishes as possible (no joke -I like to buy local and/or organic kale from my local health food shop as it’s much nicer than the supermarket offerings, and I currently have the […]
