Day #9 and in honour of St Patrick’s day this is an adaptation of my grandma’s Irish soda bread recipe. And the best part...no kneading or rising is necessary! I made it gluten free but you can also use regular flour for the traditional recipe. Of course topped with butter, cheese and my favourite Irish [...]
Day #6 aperitivo time! Creamy hummus with all the toppings and flatbreads for dunking. This is great if you have guests coming for dinner and you want a small pre-dinner snack! Hopefully we will return to the days of dinner parties soon!! Hummus is so versatile and I often have a batch of it made [...]
This recipe is almost as quick as going to the shop and buying a packet of crisps! But they are not fried, full of fat or salt! Three ingredients only! They taste great on their own or dunked into some hummus (my beetroot and feta dip in the picture). Great as a sharing starter or nibbles to [...]
In the winter soup is one of my favourite things to make. Its super easy, and will keep in your fridge for upto a week! I have tried so many variations but the cauliflower in this recipe makes such a creamy soup you'll be amazed it has no milk or cream in it! For this [...]
Here are couple of recipes from our healthy eating and fitness week Uma Retreats in Lake Como! I prepared some healthy snacks to accompany our exercise from post cardio energy balls, to protein bars for our mountain hike. A few of the recipes are listed below, the most loved was for sure the Coconut Balls, so few [...]
I made this smoothie today, I've been off work and sat at home ill, feeling fluey and full of cold. I'm not a fan of taking medicines, and I had kinda lost my appetite (great news for the waistline!! haha) so for lunch I decided to make a smoothie. One that would not only fill [...]
Another accidental recipe. A quiet weekend at home, with not much in the fridge so I made this loaf with what I had...carrots and bananas. A kind of mash up of carrot cake and banana bread, and it actually turned out to be delicious. The carrots combined with the banana mean that it is not [...]
The perfect way to get a hit of superfoods and power you through your day. Even if you don't like the taste of wheatgrass but feel like you should be eating it, this recipe makes it much easier to hide the flavour of your least favourite superfood powders, also try it with the nasty green spirulina! [...]
Some mornings you just want your breakfast to appear in front of you with no effort...and this recipe does just that. You can experiment by adding different fruit to the blender, but a banana base makes it thick and creamy. Its always useful to have banana frozen in chunks in your freezer so no matter [...]
Sometimes you want more than just a smoothie for breakfast, and this is a much more filling version. The addition of chia seeds not only add texture but they are full of protein, making this a great pre or post gym breckie. Of course if you don’t have maca or acai powder you can make [...]
