Delicious, nutritious and filling, this ‘bread’ is so delectable you’ll want to bake it weekly. I’ve honestly made four loaves this month so far for a variety of friends and functions. A healthy snack eaten on its own or add a little cheese or smashed avocado and you have a scrumptious lunch. I say ‘bread’…
Breakfast
Healthy Green Vegetable Frittata
The festive season is firmly behind us, my sons have returned to their homes and I have been left with some, (not much) leftovers in my fridge. I don’t know about you but I hate to throw any food away, I have to do something with the odds and ends in my fridge. I catered…
Herby Potato Waffles with Hot Smoked Salmon & Pickled Vegetables
You probably wouldn’t believe me if I said I preferred savoury over sweet but it’s true. Don’t get me wrong I like the occasional sweet treat but savoury is my taste of choice. This weekend brunch recipe will definitely set you up for a days activities. Waffles are an institution in both Norway and Sweden,…
Spiced Oat & Quinoa Porridge with Honeyed Apples
If you think porridge is boring, think again. The iconic breakfast classic is hotter than ever. Our social media feeds are full of oaty bowls, each more enticing than the other and blogs are brimming with delicious recipes. There are even cookbooks dedicated to it! In my opinion nothing beats a bowl of creamy oats…

If you know me, you will be aware that I am a morning person, always have been, always will be. To rise when the house is peaceful and quite is simply magical for me, this can be quite tricky with two dogs in the house, unlike teenagers they are always happy to see you! Having…
Rhubarb and Blood Orange Curd
This past couple of weeks, the weather has been frustrating here in Buckinghamshire. Shifting quickly from low double figures to below freezing, with wind chills feeling minus degrees. Snow one day, and warm sunshine the next day; it seems that my outfit changes every hour. I am definitely and totally ready for spring weather to…
Super Tasty Low Sugar Granola
I’ve been making granola for some time now as I have always found that anything I’ve bought contains far too much sugar. Preparing your own at home is incredibly easy, quick, and allows you to control the amount of sugar you add, while also varying the ingredients and adding the flavours that you love. It also…
What is Kefir & why should we be drinking it?
Healthy bacteria is a term that I keep hearing lately. These bacteria in the gut are crucial to our health. They work to destroy ‘bad’ bacteria and keep our immune system in check, our digestion ticking over and our overall health and vitality in good condition. Kefir is a fermented dairy milk drink, made by adding…
