It’s been almost 10 months since I first started juicing and posted my Beginners’ Green Juice. I’ve plugged away at it all winter, playing around with exciting (and sometimes wacky) juice and smoothie variations (see here, here and here), and now that the warmer months are upon us, it’s time to celebrate with a brand new … Continue reading
Sometimes people ask me to post more midweek suppers that can be on the table in just a few minutes. And sometimes, just sometimes, I listen! So today, people, you’re in for a treat – this recipe is the PERFECT lazy midweek supper-for-one when you’ve had a long day at work and the fridge is … Continue reading
Until recently I had always relied on shop-bought granola to satisfy my breakfasting needs but, although it’s marketed as a healthy choice (and boy do you pay for the privilege), it often contains a shed load of sugar and other nasties. On top of that, if you’re gluten-free or vegan, you always need to be … Continue reading
When we were in Portugal this summer, we spent most of our days lolling by the pool, punctuated by the occasional cooling dip, and our nights sampling the local wine and barbecuing copious amounts of meat (and the odd cheeky aubergine that I managed to sneak on when nobody was looking).

Even our work canteen has now started stocking … Continue reading

I fell in love with soba noodles on a trip to Japan last year. Until then, my Western experiences of ‘authentic’ Japanese cuisine had led me to believe that the Japanese subsisted on sushi alone, washed down with green tea by day and sake by night.

It’s going to be a scorcher this weekend so everybody should immediately: 1) fill their fridge with mildly alcoholic beverages; 2) invite themselves to a BBQ; and 3) go and buy a watermelon. And if you do all these things, you might just be that awesome person who brought chilled beers and a … Continue reading
Move over houmous, this vibrant dip is where it’s at – it’s tasty and fragrant and the cardamom and coriander add an exotic zestiness to the sweetness of the beetroot. The ‘catch’: It’s good for you too…as well as vitamins and minerals, beetroot is packed full of antioxidants, anti-inflammatory chemicals and can help your body … Continue reading
