Its no secret that most shop-brought granolas are laden with sugars and some even contain palm oil so for this I prefer to make my own. Its also much cheaper and so easy to make why wouldn’t you? Form nutrition, a vegan protein powder company, kindly gave me 3 of their protein powders to tryContinueContinue reading “Form nutrition Protein Granola”

How to be the best version of your vegan-self
Vegan-ism has become so mainstream now that I don’t think I should even bother with this post. I turned ‘vegan'(ish) at the ripe old age of 16, just before it started to get popular. It’s been a bumpy ride, it started off well as mum gave me lacto-free cheese until one day, about a monthContinueContinue reading “How to be the best version of your vegan-self”

Rhubarb and Plum mustard with white asparagus
A chef friend recently told me about Rhubarb mustard and a first I was slightly dubious but its actually really, really nice! The sweetness from the fruit softens the harshness from the Dijon and it pairs well with white asparagus, which are a speciality in France.

Spelt bread with seeds and rosemary
Bread-my favourite carb. The backbone of our nation and our diets. It tends to get given a bad name, ‘bread makes you fat’, ‘carbs are the devil’… we’ve heard it all. I love Bread. Whether its a baguette, torn apart by ravenous hands, a crusty sourdough holds well for soup-dunking or simply, a slice ofContinueContinue reading “Spelt bread with seeds and rosemary”
