“Golden milk” coconut panna cotta
So everyone’s going crazy for the mythical-sounding “golden milk” at the moment and I want in on the action! Golden milk aka turmeric milk is by no means a new invention – it’s been doing the rounds in Indian Ayurvedic medicine for centuries as the hot milk drink haldi doodh – and it’s health properties are renowned. … Continue reading

Vitamin E avocado & almond smoothie
This summer we holidayed in Morocco, splitting our time between Marrakesh and Essaouira. It’s always difficult to choose but they are two of my favourite places on Earth I think. Marrakesh is hot and dusty and a glorious assault on the senses. The souks are weaving and labyrinthine, leading you past glittering lamps and pointy … Continue reading
Miracle matcha & pineapple smoothie

It’s a form of Japanese green tea made from shade-grown green tea buds, stone-ground to a fine powder, and traditionally whisked into hot water.

The long and complex history and rich culture alone make it a region worth visiting but I would be fibbing if I didn’t admit that the food is the main hook. I close my eyes and picture the scene: still-warm pita and proper kebabs, smoky … Continue reading
