Even in Spring and Summer sometimes a hearty stew is needed. I based the spice profile on an awesome recipe by Green Kitchen Stories. The cinnamon and saffron are beautiful together especially when punctuated with the sweetness of the raisins. This serves about four people, thankfully which means I am having a huge bowl of … More Moroccan Aubergine, Pepper and Chickpea Stew
I am obsessed with turmeric and tahini at the moment. I put tahini on everything, toast, porridge, salads… I could go on. The lovely warming and vibrant qualities of turmeric are also wonderful, especially now that late spring is finally here. I have always the flavour of tahini, as a child I loved it when … More Turmeric and Tahini Sauce
Savoury crumbles remind me of cold winter days. This spring version is lighter and fresher, perfect for cooler spring days when you want something warming yet spring like. I used onions, leeks, courgette and broad beans in this and asparagus would work wonderfully in it too. There is a hint of lemon in the white … More Spring Savoury Crumble
It’s back, my guide to what is in season each month. I have missed this feature so thought I would start it again! I’ve always loved eating local and seasonal produce as it means each month there are different fruit and vegetables to enjoy rather than having them all year round. I am also getting … More In Season – May

My goodness we have been really ill! We are still not at the end of it but I think, hopefully, the end is in sight! Just a really nasty cold/flu virus, sore throat, headaches, swollen glands, snot monsters! We are not surprised though, Antony has been working insanely hard during January and February so is … More Roast Garlic and Butter Bean Dip
While I was pregnant I craved Nutella so much! I had never been that fussed about it before but pregnancy turned me into a Nutella fiend! The problem I had with that was I try to avoid palm oil as far as possible so wanting to eat Nutella meant having to go against that. I … More Homemade Vegan Nutella
Everybody knows I love porridge and would very happily have it every morning for breakfast. This morning I fancied something savoury rather than sweet so I experimented making a savoury porridge bowl, it turned out really well! There is no milk in this so it is vegan. I do realise that people will either “love … More Savoury Porridge Bowl
This is going to be a quick post!! I’m sitting here writing this post two minutes after having demolished this for my lunch! You learn to eat quickly when you have a small baby as you don’t know when you will have time to eat next. I videoed how I manage to take photos of … More Mushrooms and Humous on Toast
Happy New Year! 2017 was an incredibly busy year for me and my family. We found out I was pregnant, moved house, celebrated our one year wedding anniversary and then had our beautiful baby boy. The last six weeks have been filled with so much love and happiness but also pain and fear. I doubt … More Roast Cauliflower, Spiced Chickpea and Quinoa Bowl
