I really hate the term ‘flu season’. Flu is not a season! Influenza is a virus that, with an adequately supported immune system, will, at worst, leave us feeling pretty crappy for a few days, we may even experience a fever – heaven forbid! – but, assuming we don’t suppress it with fever-reducing medications and…

Pistachio & Sweet Cardamom Milk
How have I never made pistachio milk before now? I had a huge amount of pistachios left over from Christmas and didn’t know what to do with them (other than eat too many in one go), so I decided to attempt a new milk and was more than pleasantly surprised. Pistachios have a huge amount…
Best, Easiest Vegan Chilli (and tips on staying nourished through the winter)
It’s raining. It’s grey. It’s January in London. At this time of year it’s so important to look after ourselves, physically and emotionally, because the shorter days and colder climate really do alter our physical wellbeing and emotional state. There is a reason that some animals hibernate during these months – protecting themselves from the…
Chia, Coconut & Cashew Butter Flapjacks
All the Cs in this one! I ALWYAS make flapjacks for my friends who have just had babies as oats are one of the best foods for milk supply. They’re also low GI and slow releasing energy so they are the perfect snack for a new, exhausted mama. These are the original ones I made…
Vegan Thai Tom Kha Soup
Ever since we went to Thailand five years ago, I’ve been making this soup. I wasn’t yet vegetarian when we were there so I used to make it with chicken, but amended it to be vegan (using tofu) more recently. I don’t know what it is about this soup, but when we were in Thailand I…
Cauliflower, Spinach & Tahini Soup
I used to think cauliflower was such a boring vegetable, but now I love it. I make cous-cous out of it, curries and soups. It doesn’t just have to be steamed and eaten plain. I try to get as much tahini into us as possible for plant-based, bioavailable calcium but I’ve never put it in…
Apple & Cinnamon Granola – Only 4 Ingredients
It’s Autumn! The time of year for boots, fluffy cardigans, cosy nights in, warming drinks, comfort food and amazing, warming flavours like cinnamon and star anise. Apples are in abundance right now as well, so make sure to pick them off trees when you see them. You all know I love to make my own…
Vegan No-Fry Chickpea & Sweetcorn Fritters
And so the battle to come up with new and exciting things for Braxton to eat every day continues… Well, not just for Brax but for us too, because he pretty much eats what we eat now (depending on what mood he’s in, and food is always a volatile subject when it comes to him!)….
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…
Fry’s Family Gluten Free Vegan Burgers
Of course I didn’t make these vegan burgers myself, they are by the amazing Fry’s Family vegan foods. They are non-GMO and the only ‘oven food’ we’ll use in our house. It’s really great if you do need an easy dinner, without having to opt for rubbish fish fingers. I made the slaw and the…
