The town I moved to last year has so many community events going on all the time, it’s really a lovely place to live and I’m so glad I found it. Since having Darryl I have found time to meet new mummy friends and attend some of the midweek day time activities such as Baby … Continue reading

Creamy Mushroom and Spinach ‘Orzotto’
Since having baby Darryl, now 5 and a 1/2 weeks old, I have been keen to get back into the kitchen. Mainly because I missed having some time to myself to be creative or to unwind; I love my days with Darryl more than anything but these first few weeks are so intense – day … Continue reading
Cauliflower and Broccoli Cheese Tart
I’ve had this idea for so long but only just got around to making it. The early stages of pregnancy were a whirlwind of wanting to eat constantly but also feeling sick whenever I tried to cook, foods like potatoes and bread got me through and I found myself leaning towards carbs and sugar. It would … Continue reading
Banoffee Pie – Vegan and Gluten Free – Vegan MoFo 2014
Now this is what I call a proper pudding! Rich, indulgent, belly busting and totally delicious! I decided to do a switch-a-roo job on this classic pud and instead of making it raw or super healthy I simply switched a traditional all butter biscuit base for a dairy and gluten free biscuit base! I made … Continue reading

Carrot and Coriander Fritters With Tahini Dressing
I’ve been keeping things simple recently, classic flavours with not too much effort. It’s been lovely! Food is best enjoyed at one’s leisure and I think the effect of a rather upheaved life teamed with a busy lifestyle has meant I have slowed down and stepped back in other areas. My favourite foods at the … Continue reading
Mexican Style Beany Baked Eggs
I love tomato based dishes, there is something so deliciously homely about a meal that starts with an onion and a can of tomatoes. I had my sister round for dinner last week and I cooked my puy lentil and tomato curry and she raved about it for days! In fact she’s put in an … Continue reading
Curried Cous Cous and Grilled Peaches
Curried cous cous isn’t something that you see everyday however I think cous cous makes a perfect base to spices as it is a blank canvas that absorbs up flavours and holds them well. You could use rice to make this gluten free or if you have rice in the cupboard instead. Peaches have been … Continue reading
Fresh and Herby Salsa Verde
I’m returning back to basics today with a very simple salsa verde recipe. Sometimes all you need is a very good sauce on a simple meal to bring it to life! I have a few I often go back to when I just fancy a fresh, healthy and very easy dinner but this salsa verde … Continue reading
