There’s something so satisfying about being able to stand over your own simmering saucepan of hearty, homemade soup… Contentedly stirring a bubbling pot packed with veg, knowing you’ve got multiple warming, nourishing lunches and dinners right there ready to go. And when you’re 2 hours...
This gorgeous dip is so summery and flavoursome. The roasted garlic adds an extra layer of deliciousness to this very light and lovely dish. What to do with it? Spread it on a wrap, dollop it on a salad, or add to your picnic...
This light, bright and lemony pea toast is the perfect brunch recipe. Even better than avocado toast! It's higher in protein, lower in food miles, dazzling to look at and mouthwateringly delish.
This Moroccan aubergine and sweet potato stew recipe is one awesome pot of spicy, fragrant, tastebud tantalising deliciousness! It encompasses some of my favourite things about Moroccan cooking; aromatic spices, sweet dried fruit, salty olives, rich nuts and vibrant pomegranate and fresh herbs. All the flavours combine to create a vegan and gluten free dish that is totally healthy and nutritious, as well as sooo flavoursome and satisfying. It looks beautiful with all its bright toppings and is easy enough to make mid-week.
This crunchy coconut granola recipe (nut free, vegan + gluten free) is incredibly easy to make and so delicious! The big clusters of toasted coconut, sunflower and pumpkin seeds make it so satisfyingly crisp and crunchy. I always have a big jar of this crunchy coconut granola on the shelf ready to sprinkle on smoothie bowls or over fruit salads.
This vegan Spanish omelette (or tortilla) recipe makes the most wonderful breakfast, brunch, lunch or light dinner. Yes you can eat it at any time of the day! It looks beautiful, especially decorated with all your favourite toppings, and it's gluten free too. It has only a few ingredients (if you don't count all the extra toppings which are totally up to you), it's so good for you and packs up perfectly for picnics.
Plum and Hazelnut Porridge Recipe Is there a more warming and hearty breakfast then porridge? I think not. But, lets face its, porridge can be a bit bland and boring if we don’t give it a little extra attention. I like to treat my bowl...
Tthe perfect Autumn supper. It’s hearty, warming, filling and packed with nourishing vegetables. Uncomplicated, fuss-free, rustic and delicious. You'll be astounded by how rich, creamy, flavoursome and satisfying this vegan and gluten free dish is.
The different elements in this feast of a meal really work together beautifully to create a vibrant, delicious and exciting banquet that's ridiculously good for you and full of flavour. Roasting the garlic for the houmous mellows and sweetens it, so you get a delectably luscious, creamy and flavoursome accompaniment to the colourful and lively salad. If you are having a summer BBQ you must try this!
Make the prettiest drink on the planet with this rose latte recipe. This caffeine-free, vibrant pink hot drink looks beautiful, tastes delightful and is really good for you! Sprinkled with rose petals and flavoured with beetroot powder you'll enjoy every sip.
A tropical green smoothie bowl recipe that will transport you straight to a palm tree studded white sand beach somewhere sunshiny with it's healthy and delicious combination of creamy coconut, vibrant tropical fruits, super powered spinach and zingy ginger.
This is my take on the ultimate winter warmer - the gingerbread latte. Hot, spicy and sweet it's the perfect thing to curl up with on a cold afternoon. My gingerbread latte recipe doesn't include coffee, instead a beautiful combination of spices and fiery ginger provide all the flavour. It's also vegan as I use a good quality almond milk to create the creamy flavour.
This is the best ever spicy red lentil dal recipe! It's a warming bowl of healthy deliciousness that's easy to make and so flavoursome.
VEGGIE CHILLI!! This is one of my absolute favourite dinners. My vegetarian black bean chilli is a warming, nourishing, richly satisfying bowl of spicy deliciousness AND what makes it even more out of this world awesome are the toppings. A sumptuous guacamole that must be heaped lavishly on top and vibrant pink pickled onions that add a magical piquancy.
My roasted butternut squash soup recipe is sumptuous, satisfying and spicy. Deliciously flavoursome, it's the ultimate warming and nourishing lunch on a cold day. A BIG advantage of this recipe is that you don't need to peel the butternut squash (which is one of my least favourite kitchen tasks), in fact you barely need to do any peeling, chopping or prepping. Hooray!
This mini berry tarts recipe is sooo great! The base is sweet with a hint of vanilla and hazelnut and requires no baking at all. The tarts are filled with creamy coconut yoghurt and topped with the brightest berries. They are sweet and fresh and light and look so pretty. They are also vegan, gluten free and refined sugar free.

I can NOT wait for you to try this blackberry, pear and chocolate tart. It makes the most scrumptious afternoon tea and a pretty sophisticated dessert offering too. It's gluten free, vegan and refined sugar free plus it looks gorgeous and will WOW your friends and family.
I eat this summer berry breakfast bowl all the time (not just for breakfast!). I love how beautiful it looks, how sweet it tastes and how utterly nutritious it is with all the vibrant berries, creamy coconut yoghurt and the crunch of raw muesli. And I'm giving away 5 boxes of Primrose's Kitchen's awesome raw granola & muesli.

This weekend I cooked for everyone on our Shine Yoga One Day Yoga Retreat in Newquay, Cornwall. I was inspired by two amazing recipes that I discovered from two of my favourite cooks (Sarah Britton of My New Roots and Anna Jones). The recipes are both...
Whilst Bircher Muesli is a Swiss invention the first time I tried it was on a swelteringly hot day on the beach in Sydney, Australia. That was about 10 years ago but I still remember how fresh and creamy and refreshingly delicious it was. I’ve been perfecting my own recipe ever since!
These triple layered sweet treats have a sweet oaty, biscuity base topped with messy, gooey caramel and finished with glossy raw chocolate. They taste so decadently rich and delicious. We often serve these raw vegan millionaires shortbread bites on our yoga retreats in Cornwall where they fuel hungry yogis through 10 hours of yoga, wild swimming, coastal walks, stand up paddleboarding and kayaking!
Golden Milk Recipe This week I popped in to the Mae Deli, the newly opened cafe founded by Ella Mills (Deliciously Ella). I somewhat hesitantly ordered a turmeric latte, a mix of turmeric root powder, brown rice milk and natural sweetener, and it was gorgeous! Since then turmeric milk,...
