Although I’ve chosen the vegetables that are classically found in spring rolls, this is a perfect “catch-all” dinner that allows you to use up any vegetables you have in your crisper, as they melt into the sauce so beautifully. Swap out the vegetables to suit your family’s tastes and trust me when I say the ingredients are simple but the flavours are BIG. Recipe variations Use minced (ground) pork or chicken for maximum flavour, although regular beef mince works too....

You can cut them up and throw them in one of those salad kits from the store for an easy dinner. Or toss them in buffalo sauce and make the best buffalo chicken sandwich in the world. You can eat them with fries and ketchup. Or can cut them up and put them in chicken salad. These oven-fried chicken tenders are SO versatile, and SO delicious. And they’re simple- super simple....

As you may already know if you follow me on social media or subscribe to my email list, I had an unfortunate accident a few weeks ago involving my kneecap and my concrete garage floor. My kneecap broke in half- I’m on the mend after surgery, and am feeling much better. As a result, I have spent a LOT of time watching TV. Honestly, discovering new shows to watch is something I haven’t indulged in since before I had kids....

I love autumn and its low-in-the-sky autumn sun – maybe because I’m an October child – and we’ve been blessed with a fair amount of it here lately. I try to find a patch of it in my garden whenever I can. It’s my favourite way to meditate, it’s doubly relaxing with the feeling of sun on my face. It’s been something I’ve had to call upon a lot lately as my anxiety has been on the up again in the past week....

Happy weekend, guys! I hope that, in contrast to us, you are enjoying some sun today. I’m so jealous. The skies have opened over Bristol today and it’s pouring. It’s so cold and miserable that our heating came on last night for the first time since spring and I can no longer kid myself that summer has not fully ended yet. I would be taking it a bit more on the chin, I think, if not for the fact that I woke up at 4:30 am this morning and could not fall back asleep again no matter how hard I tried, so I am not feeling terribly chirpy....

Do you remember the Black Forest Gateau inspired mousse I did a while ago? Since then, I’ve been racking my brains as to how I can incorporate the flavours of chocolate and cherries into a FAIRLY healthy breakfast before the season for my favourite fruit comes to an end 🙁 . I did it, guys! Allow me to introduce chocolate buckwheat pancakes with stewed cherries and a beautiful cherry syrup....

I find that love for people, animals and nature offers some hope and refuge in this robotic, hate-filled modern world so, while I never used to be a big fan of the Valentine’s day, whatever gets people to focus on what they have in common instead of what divides them gets my vote. Also, because I am a massive chocolate fiend, Valentine’s day provides a good excuse to post something decadent like these chocolate and raspberry tarts, whose flavours simply belong together....

Hope you guys are having a good weekend? After a bit of a miserable two weeks, my energy levels are finally almost back to normal and I am almost well. It feels amazing to be able to do simple, everyday things without flopping out in between tasks. Being ill really does give you a renewed perspective on life and on what’s truly important. I am sure you can all relate?...

Happy weekend! I hope the sun is out for you! We are back to an average temperature of 20° C and fairly frequent cloud coverage… While I miss the heat I am not too upset about this weather change as we are going to be bathroom and toilet less for the next two weeks – something that’s certainly more of an issue when it is relentlessly hot. Our contractor – who seems like a really nice guy and someone who really takes pride in his work – is starting on Monday....

Have you guys started on your New Year’s resolutions yet? Is one of them to eat healthier? I thought so…If my intuition is correct, you’ve come to the right place as I am all about healthy food (always, well… most of time) this January. I really need to reset my taste buds as I lost my ongoing fight with my pesky sweet tooth this festive period 🙂 . Anyone else?...

Hello hello, I am back from my holiday, rested and ready for some comfort cooking. First up, my take on an iconic American dish – mac and cheese. It’s simple and quick to make and delivers bags of comfort and flavour without reliance on vegan cheese. You can totally add your favourite dairy-free cheese if you like (Duncan likes vegan mature cheddar version), but I actually prefer this dish without it....

Despite sunny weather being more of a permanent fixture in these parts lately, the evenings remain cold. I insist on sitting out on my deckchair (which still doubles up as my sofa in the evenings – tough times 😉 ) in the sun whenever I am able to, even past when it’s reasonable to do so. Once the sun hides behind the buildings, I bring my blanket and a hot cup of herbal tea to maximise time spent outside, with a book....

While I really miss holidays I realise that the reality of a lockdown has probably been a blessing for the state of our house. Last year occasional spells of hot weather and going away had dampened our motivation to work on the house during summer, which is why we spent the entire winter with no soft furnishings, no TV and a living room with bare, freshly plastered walls and a half finished floor....

Breastfeeding is such a beautiful journey, but bringing it to an end can be emotional and physically painful.

Jump to:ArtichokesAsparagus AvocadoBroccoliBrussels SproutsCauliflower LeeksMushroomsPeas & Shoots RadishesShallots and Green OnionsSpring Greens & Herbs💬 Comments Artichokes One of my favorite vegetables is back in season! Artichokes are mostly grown in California, and in season from March to June. April and May are when they’re in peak season, and as a result, most likely to have sales! Otherwise, they can get quite pricey (much like it’s sister spring vegetable, asparagus). Artichokes are a monocrop, but large producers are moving towards pesticide-free production....

I’m 11 days into the renovation of my rental flat and there have been so many ups and downs already. Duncan came for a long weekend and has helped me a great deal but also lifted my spirits immensely as I was getting a bit down about the sheer amount of work that’s still ahead of me and by how difficult it is to find a reasonable contractor in the middle of a pandemic....
