For the last month or so we’ve been getting an Oddbox, which is a fortnightly delivery of surplus fruit and veg. As it is surplus food you don’t necessarily get the same stuff each week. I really like this element of the boxes as it means I’m trying something new and different with each delivery…. Read more »

Sweet Potato and Chickpea Soup
One of my favourite things to do at the moment is to get cooking, be it quick and simple dishes at nice or new, more complicated dishes at the weekend. It’s all part of our January plan to take things slow and be kind to ourselves. Because let’s be honest cooking yummy, healthy food from… Read more »
In the Kitchen: Autumnal Overnight Oats
When it comes to weekday breakfasts I tend to eat at work rather than at home. I’m either out of the house by 6:15 to get my swim in or I’m spending as long as possible in bed before leaving at 7:30. With both options sitting down to eat breakfast is not on the… Read more »
In the Kitchen: Five Minute Ginger Chicken
I feel that quick and easy are fast becoming my go-tos when it comes to cooking. Maybe it’s because I’m lazy or maybe it’s just that after a long day at work I don’t want to be faffing around too much in the kitchen. Especially when I’m also prepping lunch and breakfast for the next… Read more »
In the Kitchen: Making a Pinata Cake
Let’s talk about cake! I’m a big fan of cake. Firstly because it’s delicious and secondly because there are so many cake variations out there. There’s marble cake, chocolate cake, battenberg, banana bread, cupcakes, lemon drizzle cake and so much more. All of which I could eat right now! Oh to live next to a… Read more »
In the Kitchen: Shakshuka
It’s no secret that I’m a big brunch fan. Whether it’s a plate of homemade eggs or a stack of pancakes from one of London’s finest establishments I’m always here for a brunch extravaganza. And while trying a new brunch place is awesome, sometimes making brunch at home is just as good. Not least… Read more »
In the Kitchen: Turkey Mole
We’ve had a slow cooker for quite a while now, but we usually only use it for a chilli or a chicken pilaf. So with some quieter weekends recently it’s been ideal for trying some new recipes. And I can report that the first of those recipes, a turkey mole, was a huge success. Having never had… Read more »
In the Kitchen: Terry’s Chocolate Orange Cookies
Today I wanted to share with you one of my new favourite festive recipes, the first of three that’ll be on the blog this festive season, the humble Terry’s Chocolate Orange Cookie. When it comes to festive bakes there are two components that make something festive and as long as you have one of these… Read more »
In the Kitchen: Satay Chicken with Sticky Rice
So apparently our ‘In the Kitchen’ posts are on a theme right now – a Chinese theme – as the most recent post was a sticky ginger chinese chicken and today I’m here to share a satay chicken recipe, AKA our most made dinner recipe of the moment. We must make this at least once a week –… Read more »
In the Kitchen: Stuffed Mushrooms
Mushrooms are the one vegetable that I eat every single day and add to every meal possible. I honestly think they’d be top of the list of the five foods I’d choose if there was such a thing as ‘Desert Island Foods’. {Or joint top, how could I forget chilled Dairy Milk!} Anyway, my love… Read more »
