Simple but effective! Hello! I hope you are all having a fabulous week and a great start to December! Whether you are joining in with all the seasonal festivities or not this month, I am sure you can enjoy all the different foods that this month brings! Likely you have seen parsnips, brussels sprouts, satsumas, cranberries and a whole plethora…
Small steps, big improvements. Healthy eating shouldn’t feel overwhelming, yet it often does – especially when routines shift or life gets busy. Many of us know what we’d like to eat, but turning those intentions into everyday habits can be surprisingly difficult. You might start the week full of good intentions, only to find yourself opting for whatever is quickest…
How to nourish your body with vegan meals Going vegan can mess with your head at first. You stand in the grocery store staring at vegetables like you’ve never seen food before. Everything you knew about cooking just flies out the window. But honestly? It gets way easier. Your body figures it out faster than you’d think. The panic about…
Warming foods! This week has been all about soups, slow cooker meals and hot comforting food! I am still loving my vegetable box delivery and this week, when I saw loads of red peppers and several aubergines, I knew I had to make a new dolma recipe. I decided to have a little experiment (when do I not) and see…
Autumn is truly here! Come on. Tell me. Have you succumbed and put your heating on yet?! I always try to wait until November, stretching out the last of the warmth… or braving out the start of the cold! However, since the weekend, I have been convinced there is an open window I’ve missed! The jumpers have come out, the…

I was almost, that is ‘almost’ tempted to put the heating on… but it is, after all, still only September. So, potatoes are back on the menu (not that they ever really left!)…
A key recipe for comfort on cooler days. It might be July, but the weather certainly isn’t what you’d expect for summer! At just 15°C this morning, with strong winds and a soggy start thanks to the overnight downpours, it definitely feels more like an autumn day. That said, the garden is loving it, and I’m sure the allotment is…
Is it time to slow down? This week has been a bit crazy! You know life gets like that sometimes right! First, the weather couldn’t decide if it was still baking hot (come on, 25c in the UK is hot)! or if there was suddenly going to be an almighty downpour. I actually got stuck in the greenhouse as it…
When it’s too hot to even think about cooking! There’s been very little actual cooking in the house this week! The barbecue has made a few appearances, but most meals have been centred around salad. If you’re in the UK, you’ll likely have experienced some of the hottest weather we’ve seen in a while – so much so, I’ve been…
