In honour of International Food Day (which I’m told 16th October is) I bring you – drrrrrum roll please… THE world’s best pumpkin bread, just in time for Halloween and all those poor pumpkins that I hope won’t go to waste 🎃 The chocolate is optional, and I also add doTERRA wild orange because, well…

Blueberry Tahini Oat Bars – Baby Led Weaning Recipe
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…
Lavender Hot Chocolate (Cacao)
It may be June, but today felt like the middle of winter! Trust London to keep us on our toes with the weather… Plus, my kids kindly like to keep me up at night and I’m feeling like I need a lot of self-care. So tonight, after putting the kids to bed, I had a…
Nutty Puffed Rice Cacao Bites
My names for these things are getting more and more hilarious as time goes on. Honestly, I get a bee in my bonnet about using a certain ingredient (this time puffed brown rice) then just throw something together and hope for this best but then struggle to give them a fitting (and short enough) name!…
Creamy Red Lentil Daal
A friend invited me over for lunch, and while our babies crawled happily around the floor, we indulged in this amazing dish she made us. She got the recipe from Running On Real Food and it was gorgeous. I tweaked it slightly, using the base ingredients from my usual daals (check out my mung daal)…
Chai Spiced Baked Oatmeal
Porridge, overnight oats, oat smoothies, banana oat loaf, oaty bites, oat cookies, granola, flapjacks – not much you can’t do when it comes to variation with oats. And now I bring you baked oatmeal. Whatta brekkie! Y’all know I love my chai flavours so I threw some cardamom, cinnamon and saffron in there and topped…
Vegan Marble Cake
I was hosting some friends for tea and fancied something different to banana bread alongside some brownies. I took a bit of a risk with this as I wasn’t too sure how it would turn out but it turned out really beautifully. Moist and delicious and looks great! It’s free from gluten, dairy, refined sugar…
Gooey Chocolate Orange Brownies
Following on from my Chocolate Orange Coconut Bites last week, I’m on a bit of a chocolate orange rampage at the moment! The flavours just go so well together, just ask Terry and Dawn French! You can use orange peel in this, or you could just use the wild orange essential oil. I used doTERRA…
Turmeric & Saffron Roasted Veg Buckwheat Bowl
This is vegan heaven on a very colourful plate! When you’re meat-free AND gluten-free, it can often be hard to find foods that tick all the boxes. As I’m suffering a postpartum arthritis flare at the moment, it really is so important for me to tick all these boxes: Gluten-free Dairy-free Meat-free Adds nutritional value…
Coriander & Mint Chutney
I can’t take any credit for this recipe. It belongs to my friend Deepa over at GirlBoyFoodBaby. When I was at her house, she made me a gluten free, vegan cheese toasty and added this to it and I’ve been hooked ever since and can’t stop making it. Coriander is such a great cleanser so…
