This time of year, pumpkin bread recipes abound. Usually these are in the form of a quick sweet bread, made with no yeast, with a cake-like result (like this chai spiced pumpkin bread).

Guacamole is my go to dip for almost every occasion. Some people use jalapeños but in my recipe serrano peppers does the trick in the most subtle way. Some recipes call for tomatoes but I don’t like the watery consistency in my guacamole. Limes are another essential part of this recipe. I’d like to add the juice of lime more than anybody I know! yes! it makes a huge difference....

Packed with spinach, onions, and even the stems from the portobello mushrooms (no waste!), you can count on lots of nutritious vegetables with this recipe. I love how the mozzarella cheese melts into every bite. The breadcrumbs get golden brown and perfectly toasted on top. These stuffed mushrooms taste a bit like pizza, so it’s a great way to satisfy that craving in a healthier way. And if you want a little more substance and protein, you can also add Italian sausage or pepperoni....

Duncan says that he has been finding food aspect of this trip a bit of a challenge (as locals appear to love their meat and cheese)....

After a pretty rough week, I’m back with some renewed inspiration and a promise to myself to look after my mental health a little bit better by staying off social media more (it makes me feel anxious and inadequate) and do more self care when I feel myself spiralling out of control. Yeah, the past week has not been the greatest. I was feeling awful, the weather was (continues to be) miserable and our beloved cat (who can do no wrong, says Duncan) gifted the household with a prolific amount of fleas!...

Spring is in the air and with that I have developed an appetite for more greens.

This vegan fried rice is really simple and easy to make. It’s packed with ‘so-good-for-you’ green vegetables and based on brown rice, which I like to use due to the fact that it’s more satiating – but any cold rice will do....

During my teenage years when, like most teenagers, I was obsessing about my weight, I avoided eating pasta as I was convinced that it was fattening. It wasn’t until I fell in love with cooking many years later, that I realised that it’s a complete misconception and it very much depends how you cook it or what you have with it. If you have your pasta bathed in cream and butter, then yes, you should probably only eat it once in a while, but it’s perfectly possible to make a tasty yet light pasta dish and enjoy it on a more regular basis....
