VERY belated Happy New Year to everyone! My new year started off with some crappiness – wifi + mobile data were down for 2 weeks BUT then I went skiing! I’ve also been working on making videos and the first one, for cinnamon-sugar pretzels,…
Aquafaba Grapefruit Gin Sour Cocktail (+ a Chickpea Pomegranate Dip)
A few weeks ago I went to Ottolenghi’s new restaurant, ROVI, with some friends. We all had some delicious drinks to start and their gin sour cocktail had caught my eye – my mum had mentioned it to me as she’d been to the…
Vegan Chocolate Yule Log
I held a little Christmas dinner at my flat this week for some of my friends. Since I’m basically veggie and one of my friends is vegan I just went full on plant-based for the meal. I made a super delicious hassleback squash with…
Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Garlic, Lemon and Parmesan
Brussels sprouts are vegetables I always forget about. Not because I hate them or don’t like cooking with them, but I think in my mind they’re ‘reserved’ for Christmas time. When I discovered roasted Brussels sprouts were a ‘thing’ a few years ago when they…

If you’ve seen my second cookbook, The Savvy Cook, you know that I’m O.B.S.E.S.S.E.D. with halloumi cheese. It’s such a vegetarian cliché but hey, it’s delicious af, why not be into it?…
Runner Bean Samosas with Pineapple Chutney
Thanks to Vitamix for sponsoring this post I’m back from my holidays and for once, the sun is actually shining in the UK. Most summers I’m away coincidentally at the time when England gets its WEEK of sunshine so by the time I’m back,…
Aubergine, Basil & Pomegranate Lettuce Cups
Thanks to OXO for sponsoring this post It’s getting to that muggy, sunny part of the year where the days are long and all I want to do is lie outside in the sun and consume ice cream, strawberries and salads. <– I’ve actually…
Cauliflower & Black Bean Tacos (Vegan option)
Taco night is THE BEST. It’s one of my go-to ‘clear-the-fridge’ meals. Get some veg in there, cook up any kind of beans or lentils and a quick salsa or dressing.…
