CHOCOLATE FLORENTINES – VEGAN & PALEO
Tis the season to be jolly!! Wahooooo! I am so excited to start the Christmas countdown! This year will be extra special with my new little niece joining us for her first Christmas. I can’t wait to get crafting and wrapping up presents. Trialling the Paleo Christmas recipes ahead, I thought I would give raw chocolate florentines a go. Usually, this would be down to...

CHORIZO, BUTTERNUT AND SWEET POTATO TART WITH BEETROOT CRUST
If your Sunday was anything like mine, you’ve been a busy bee! With a long commute to work I have tried to plan ahead this week making lunch and some snacks too. After my run in the rain, which was actually really nice. I was super hungry and decided to try something new. This ticks the box for comfort food but is rich with...

VEGAN CHOCOLATE GANACHE CHEESECAKE
Now that Autumn is here and the cold weather is leaving the tip of my nose pink, I am craving indulgent naughty food. Long gone are my days of wearing skimpy outfits in the sun and cycling around Hossegor in search of vegan ice cream. Luckily now I am back to having a kitchen I can use, this doesn’t mean I can’t have my...

THAI ROAST CHICKEN
I really miss the fragrant flavours and warmth from Asia. Its really quite coldness back in the UK! Living in France was great but it’s really difficult to find the abundance of ingredients you can find in London within close proximity. Just walking down a street to my parents home in Surrey there is an indian supermarket with all sorts of spices, vegetables and...

BANANA & PASSION FRUIT DRIZZLE CAKE
If your looking to use up some bananas this is the perfect recipe! I happened to have 4 over ripe bananas. I would happily eat them as is, but baking is so much more rewarding! I love the combination of passion fruit and bananas in smoothies so decided it would work in a cake. A little like banana bread this is a gooey and...

Now confident with my sushi rolling skills, I can’t wait to experiment and try some other filling ideas. In france one of the surprising fillings you can...

COCONUT ICE BITES
When the lovely people at Indigo herbs sent me a jar of organic virgin coconut oil I thought it would be perfect to try some coconut fudge. However, with the heat of Hossegor, I thought a frozen coconut ice bit would be delicious. Unlike the original coconut ice laden with sugar and food colouring, this version is sweetened with vanilla and maple syrup and minus...

LEMONGRASS-AID
Spending the summer in France is great. Currently I am in Capbreton, just next to Hossegor. Lots of Surfers, big waves and sunshine…. I’m not sure I will leave. Although I had visions of me being the epitome of health and exercising by the beach, the late nights at work followed by Rose are contradicting my plans. After a late night, I like to...

MATCHA & ALMOND BISCOTTI -VEGAN
Everyone seems to be jumping on the matcha bandwagon, so I thought I would too. I must admit, it’s an acquired taste. I am not much of a tea fan and it has a distinct tea like taste. What I like and which has grown on me with matcha is how fresh and fragrant it is. Paired with some of my favourites it’s a...

ONION, FIG AND BACON TART
On Wednesday I went strolling through the garden in the baking heat. The fig trees were laden with juicy figs so I grabbed a punnet full immediately before the birds got the rest. Being in France I was thinking about making a pissadilliere with some figs. I decided to my own version which has a delicious flavoursome paleo and vegan pastry like base and lots...
