A winter version of my no added sugar granola is sure to please in the cold weather; warming cinnamon is paired with sweet apples making for the perfect pick-me-up for dark mornings. Cinnamon is a spice containing lots of polyphenols, a type of plant chemical which is thought to be beneficial to health. In total, this granola is packed full …
When I presented seeded multigrain sourdough bagels to my brother, the first thing he said was that I needed to make cinnamon and raisin sultanas. So grateful(!) but I took the constructive criticism and made this recipe for him. I’ve adapted the Margot Bakery sourdough bagel recipe. It’s a great recipe, however, I could never fit 12 bagels onto my …
This recipe was inspired by a recipe by Nigel Slater which I started making after growing beetroots for the first time (and rather successfully I might add). We had so many beetroots to use up I had to try to find new recipes to use them in. I thought this recipe was so delicious and was an easy way to …
At present I currently have courgettes coming out of my ears! 1 courgette plant would be sufficient to feed a small family with a steady supply of courgettes each week. So naturally we have 10 plants (not to mention the questionable marrow-looking plants) and I am spending all my free time trying to work out new ways of giving courgettes …
Granola doesn’t last long in my house. Whenever I make a tray, it will be gone within a few days. Seriously. It’s such a delicious way to get a variety of plant-based foods into the diet. In fact, the below recipe contains 15 plant-based foods, that’s half of your weekly recommended target. So this granola is really a winner! In …
I always seem to have too much kefir, and never enough when I actually want to use it for my breakfast! If, like me, you seem to be making a lot of kefir for it to go too sour for your taste, don’t be fooled into throwing it away. That really upset me at first, when I didn’t understand my …
I love this recipe for using up bananas which are past their sell by date. Somehow, you can never quite have the right number of bananas. It’s either too few or too many. And whenever I have too many I either freeze them ready to make smoothies out of, or turn them into this lovely cake. This originally was my …
Sourdough. Risen with wild yeast, which come from Bert who lives in my fridge. Something so simple it is literally flour, water and salt. That’s it. It’s as simple as that, yet can be transformed into the most delicious bread. My recipe takes around 36 hours, and while it’s got only a few steps which require a lot of attention, …
Start the day right with my wholemeal pancakes. These breakfast treats are delicious straight out of the pan and finished with your favourite toppings. You can go classic with berries and yoghurt as I have done below, or make a drizzle of tahini and honey, or even go more savoury with bacon and eggs. Each portion of pancakes on their …
Blueberries have been shown to have health benefits for our hearts. So this St. Valentine’s Day why not treat the one you love to a heart healthy meal! In a recent study published by the polyphenol research group at King’s College London, researched demonstrated that consumption of blueberries every day helped reduce endothelial function in healthy humans. Endothelial function is …
