Sweet Potato Brownies (using real chocolate)

Sweet Potato Brownies (using real chocolate)

  I love making recipes that are healthier versions of the real thing, like my avocado brownies, but I hate when they change so much that they no longer resemble the original. Or when they require so many random expensive ingredients that they cost nearly £30 to...

How to Make Amazing Guacamole

In my opinion, the perfect guacamole has a chunky yet creamy texture, and boasts a combination of fresh, hot and citrus flavours. And goes wonderfully paired with some salty tortilla chips (my favourite are hands down Manomasa Chipotle and Lime- honestly, give...

Rhubarb and Strawberry Crumble

Rhubarb and Strawberry Crumble

This is the perfect sunny afternoon pudding, and makes a rather delicious breakfast treat too. The great thing about it is there's no need to pre-cook the fruit and although there is a little sugar, it's mostly natural sweetness used. The coconut oil replaces the...

Chicken with Tomato and Bacon Millet Salad

Chicken with Tomato and Bacon Millet Salad

If you read my blog post last week for Lobster, Sweetcorn and Tomato Salad (or even followed the recipe and made it) you'll know that there was leftover tomato dressing. I used our leftovers to whip up this delicious griddled chicken with tomato, bacon and millet...
