For years my go to breakfast has been a protein packed smoothie. It contains everything I need to set myself up for the day – vitamin enriched vegan protein powder meaning I get all my vitamins and minerals in early in the day, complex carbs and healthy fats.

Cherry Blossom Inspired Almond Cake

It’s Cherry Blossom Season. Anyone else feel undeniably lighter just seeing the cherry blossom wafting in the breeze? We took a trip up to Westonbirt Arboretum last weekend to enjoy their spectacular blossom trees. We weren’t disappointed. From cherries to magnolias, rhododendrons to camelias they have an abundance of blossom right now. It inspired me to use some of the Sakura (cherry blossom) essence and dried cherry blossoms I brought back from Japan a few years ago. That was a magical holiday where cherry blossoms were on the menu every day so creating a little piece of it back home is a

Wild Foraged Nettle and Dandelion Soup

I love wild foraging though I don’t make time to do it as much as I’d like to. Now there’s a lesson for me as I nourish myself and my slow living life to support my gut health!

Spicy Prawns with Hot Quinoa Salad

I love cooking but I loathe the tidying up afterwards. For me it’s such a shame that the simple art of cooking has to be sullied by washing up and tidying away! I know I need to be more mindful but this year without a dishwasher has been trying to say the least! You can add any quick cooking veg - I like to add peas, edame beans, broccoli spears, sweetcorn etc too That said, you can imagine why I love a one pot supper dish or something that pretty much leaves nothing to be done at the end of the meal. This is one such dish. My other two favourites for this are this Portobello mushroom and red
