Work Lunches

  I love cheese, but cheese does not love me. I was thrilled when I first discovered the raw vegan alternative to dairy cheese. It gave me access to that cheesy flavour without the nausea and spots that plagued my previously dairy-fuelled life. If only I’d known I just needed to cut out dairy when I … Read More

I can’t believe it’s been over a year since I posted a recipe!! Where does the time go? I have to admit I’ve had a long dry spell when it comes to posting recipes on my blog – too many other life distractions going on! BUT the sunny weather and having lunch with my extremely talented-in-the-kitchen … Read More

I was recently rather shocked to discover (as I always am when something goes awry with my health) that I have uterine fibroids.  Is this over-sharing?  Well maybe, but in light of last week’s post it seems quite apt and hopefully it will shed some light for a few people. In my research to find out … Read More

In case you missed it, my beautiful 7 day detox, GLOW, finally launched!  Within minutes of sending out the launch email to our mailing list people where signing up.  I am thrilled because it means I’ve created a cleanse that really spoke to you, my tribe.  Hurray! And, for those of you who have now invested … Read More

I can’t believe it’s been two months since my last blog post!  So much has and hasn’t happened in that time.  We packed up our house and flew to Halifax, Canada to start our epic 2 year Americas honeymoon adventure…  and arrived to a mechanically unwell Hanna (our lovely motorhome that we shipped from Europe). I … Read More

The reality is we’re just making it all up.  No-one taught us how to do life and yet we all expect ourselves and others to know what the hell we’re doing.  We look to each other for guidance, affirmation and clues, but as none of us really know what we’re doing it doesn’t help much.  We’ll … Read More

So, my London trip with the bestie for her 50th treat last week was a MASSIVE success! I love London – I find it so inspiring, all that culture.  I couldn’t live there now that I’m used to the gentle pace of a country life, but the excitement and buzz of a visit is just fab. … Read More

Today’s recipe is one of the delicious soup recipes from my recipe book ‘Raw Freedom’.  It takes 5 minutes to make this classic with a raw twist. If  you serve it warm with fresh bread or toast you’ll be amazed at who loves it (raw-lover or not 🙂 ) My News This is my very last blog … Read More

One of the most common concerns when embracing a high-raw or vegan diet, whether on a detox or as a lifestyle choice, is “where will I get my protein?”.  Mainstream health and nutrition education would have us believe that you can only get proper protein from meat, fish, dairy, and eggs. If you’ve educated yourself further … Read More

The bright pink colour of today’s recipe, my Beetroot Almond Pate, is the perfect accompaniment to summer.  For lunch, I love it dolloped on my plate with a big leafy salad.  Or, for a mid afternoon snack, I’ll have it on rice cakes with slices of cucumber, topped with fresh alfalfa sprouts.  This pate lasts for … Read More

So I’m back from a lovely relaxing few weeks away, and ready for the Autumn excitement!  Last weekend we had a fantastic Introduction to Raw Food Taster Class – we laughed so much and had a great time chatting about raw food and tasting scrummy raw recipes. I’m doing workshops and talks galore over the next … Read More

I’m on my summer hols over the next few weeks, so my blog posts are going to be briefer than usual 🙂  Today’s recipe is one of my favourite summer salads.  The raw sweetcorn adds a deliciously sweet crunch.  And if you’ve never tried raw sweetcorn, it’s in season now so it’s the perfect time to make … Read More

Today’s recipe is one of the rare recipes that uses raw aubergine (and, yes, you can actually eat aubergine raw 🙂 ).  I eat it with a salad or with cooked brown rice or quinoa and it’s delicious! My News I’ve been thinking about doing a group programme on overcoming emotional eating for a while now … Read More

In the middle of the night last night we had a crazy, beautiful electrical storm.  When I was a kid I used to count the seconds between the lightning and thunder, trying to work out how far away the storm was.  Well, last night they happened at the same time!  We were in the eye of … Read More

Today’s recipe is one of the first raw recipes I ever created and it’s been a hit ever since.  It was inspired by the flavours and colours of Morocco.  The beautiful jewel-like colours are a feast for the eyes, just like Morocco itself!

My Beautiful Mum I’ve just got back from a month in beautiful Argentina (check out my photos on Facebook).  My time out there was a mix of tough, beautiful and love-filled. I feel very blessed to have a mum who is a total inspiration to me. In her 70s, newly in love (3 years), and now dealing with … Read More

Well, it’s been six months since I last blogged. It’s been such a strange time in my life, and in the world at large. I’ve actually found it incredibly rich as well as challenging, and it reminds me of how amazingly courageous we humans are. Although the storm has not yet passed, the initial shock and … Read More
