I’ve been adding tahini to everything recently. My friend found it weird, saying, Isn’t it only for savoury dishes? NOOOOOOOO! Tahini is so versatile and probably one of the best possible ways to get calcium into little ones. I’ve been dipping pretty much all of Vida’s food in it! I wanted to make her some…

The never-ending quest to find enough recipes to satisfy our newly-weaned babies’ appetites and need to discover new flavours… I try to be as organised as possible with meals for my family, but it’s still the same every day for breakfast and lunch: what will she have today… Muffins that are not sweet but have…
BLW Tuna Sweet Potato & Veg Croquettes
Running out of ideas for baby led weaning meals? I made these a few days ago for Vida as she’s really starting to hate the spoon! I made easily transportable food for our holiday but she was having none of it and has now let me know that she plans on being an exclusive baby…
Gingerbread Brownies
‘Tis the season to eat gingerbread! I do love incorporating these warming, seasonal flavours into my baking and cooking at this time of year.

Sound good? How about if I tell you that they are SUPER easy to make? Sold? Great! Get baking! Surprising though it may sound,…
Zucchini Bread – GF, DF, SF
Zucchini Bread has a much better ring to it than Courgette Bread, don’t you think? Maybe you think that ‘Courgette’ sounds nicer, and more French, than Zucchini? But after years of deliberating, I have decided that I prefer ‘Zucchini’, despite the fact that I am British and should be calling it courgette. Well, I’ve never…
Moroccan Halva (Tahini) & Cardamom Cookies
These gluten, dairy, sugar free & vegan Israeli / Moroccan inspired Halva (tahini) and cardamom cookies epitomise the tastes of my upbringing. There are many benefits to being brought up in an Israeli / Moroccan household. Without a doubt, one of the best ones is the food. I don’t know of many people who don’t…

Coconut Cream Ice Lollies
Yay! The sun’s out again here in London☀️ which means these can come back out the freezer. Braxton just loves these creamy coconut fruit homemade ice lollies. I do sometimes feel bad that when the ice cream van goes by we’ll not be going out to greet it, but so far at 21 months old…
