After a year and half in my gorgeous yurt the novelty of washing up outside in all weathers, and cooking on a two ring camping stove, has finally worn off. What that really means is… I’m getting a new kitchen!! I am totally thrilled about this, and have only just realised that not having a proper … Read More

I love, love, love today’s velvety dessert!  It’s just so simple and easy to make, and tastes absolutely divine.  You can freeze it to make great ice cream too.

Smoothie bowls have been on the periphery of my consciousness for a while, but a few months ago I really started getting into them. They are so easy, so colourful and sooo delicious!!

I can’t believe our wedding is only 4 weeks away!  I feel like I’m spinning a lot of plates at the moment – we’re doing all the wedding planning ourselves and it’s a 3 day event (more like a mini festival!).

Healthy entertaining… this sounds like a bit of an oxymoron, I know.  We tend to associate entertaining our friends and family with excess and extravagance on the food and booze front.  Out comes the wine, the cream, butter, sugar, the meat or fish and cheese. What I know from my years of eating and entertaining with … Read More

Coffee can be a hard habit to kick, but I’ve found that many of my clients find it a lot easier when they have an alternative.  Coffee, more often than not, is a ritual habit.  It’s the early morning ritual.  Or the mid-morning ritual.  Or the I’m-exhausted-and-I-need-a-treat ritual.  When you acknowledge this ritual aspect of coffee … Read More

And I’ve just heard that I’ve been accepted onto a one year art course, which is all about finding your creative voice and learning how to … Read More

Today’s recipe video is a winner!  It’s one for my third recipe book, coming out later this year (my 2nd recipe book is hopefully coming out this summer – the most scrumptious and simple raw ice creams, sorbets and sundaes 🙂 ).
