I mean this should be illegal, it’s that good. Moreish, creamy, sweet, intensely delicious and oh yes, vegan! Oh, and free from gluten, dairy and refined sugar. If you’re a Halva / Tahini lover, this is perfection in square form. My lovely friend Lana all the way over in New Zealand sent me a recipe for…

Organic Spoon Healthy Summer Picnic
What better way to spend sunny summery London days than with a healthy organic picnic in Primrose Hill?? Yes, picnics can be healthy! We took along our vintage Fortnum & Mason picnic hamper, very cool personalised mugs and bottle for Braxton kindly sent to us by Ellie Ellie, an awesome personalised gifts company, and a…
Guilt-Free Chocolate Digestive Biscuits
If you’re British, there is probably nothing more satisfying and comforting to you than a cup of tea and a chocolate digestive of an afternoon (had to say ‘of an afternoon’ instead of ‘in the afternoon’ because that’s how my nanny would have said it in that endearing East End way when talking about tea…
Unicorn Donuts
Well here’s something different! I’ve been obsessed with unicorns since I was a little girl. They were the stuff of fairytales with fairies and pixies and dragons and other such mystical creatures which may have been inspired by a different sort of reality, perhaps other realms? Or perhaps were thought up by wonderful people with…
Cacao & Cashew Oaty Bites
I may even go as far as to say that these are the tastiest things I’ve ever made… I have to be honest, I wasn’t sure if it would even work but oh dear lord they do! So simple; literally took 5 minutes, 1 spoon, 1 saucepan and a cup, and to make it even…
Roasted Vegetable Pasta (Gluten Free) with RawSpiceBar Chipotle Spice Mix
I was recently sent this month’s spice collection by RawSpiceBar. I’d never tried their spice mixes before so thought I’d give this one a go and added their Chipotle Salt spice mix to a roasted vegetable pasta, to make a normal everyday meal a bit more exciting. It tasted amazing and what I love about…
Sweet Potato & Zucchini Noodles with Creamy Cashew Sauce
This is a recipe from the Veggie Steady Cook cookbook we had made from all our recipes from the day, so I can’t take credit for it as it’s not my recipe – but I made it the other day and swapped some of the ingredients to make it dairy free and it was so…
Quinoa with Lentils, Butterbeans and Vegetables – Vegan dinner
I can’t take credit for this one; my husband made it. He has really got into this way of life over the past year or so, especially since having Braxton. It used to be something he was happy for me to do and would eat what I cooked because, well, it was yummy so he…
Maple, Fig & Ginger Granola
I know it’s not to everyone’s taste but I’m a big lover of ginger. It’s such a great anti-inflammatory so great to put in food or drink. When I make granola I usually just do my simple maple and pecan but I fancied a change this time and had so many figs at home also…
Coconut Curried Chicken & The Importance of Introducing Flavours From Early On
I met some friends for a walk in the park after we’d given the kids dinner a few days ago as it was such a lovely day and it’s always nice to have something to fill the time between dinner and bath time. One of them asked me what Braxton had for dinner. ‘Coconut curried…
