Prior to Oliver’s arrival, I was given a copy of the Healthy Breakfast Cookbook by I Quit Sugar and had the opportunity to test some of the recipes (and do a little make-ahead meal prepping too before I headed for the maternity ward!). With the next round of the 8-Week Program about to kick off (registrations close in just a few…

WORLD’S EASIEST 3-INGREDIENT PLANT-BASED CAESAR DRESSING
As it says on the proverbial tin, I do believe this is the easiest alternative to a Caesar dressing you will find. I posted it on Instagram a long time ago, but pointing people to a recipe on my blog is far more convenient than directing them to “look way back in my Instagram gallery…
SUPER GREEN MATCHA MYLKSHAKE (+ a Food of Thrones Weeks 2 & 3 recap)
As those of you who read my previous post or follow my Instagram account know, the Game of Thrones-inspired creative food challenge known as #FoodofThrones2016 continues. And with it have come the inspired creations of connections new and old/far and wide. Instead of begrudging the week that stretches between episodes, I now genuinely look forward to seeing what others will come up with….
COCONUT CREAM FRUSHI (wholesome sweet “sushi” with fresh fruit)
I know it’s unusual and certainly far from traditional, but trust me, this frushi (or “fruit sushi”) really tastes delish! And I’m not usually a fan of “deceptive” foods (that is to say, something that looks like something it’s not), but in the case of frushi, I believe I can allow myself to be somewhat playful. If…
ÖVERJÄRVA GÅRD (a rural oasis close to Stockholm)
After receiving numerous requests for “local tips”, I have decided that this will be the first of a series of posts (which I’ll compile in list form on a new page) about some of my favourite places in and around Stockholm, complete with links and information that may be of use to visitors, to those with children…
SEASONED OVEN-BAKED RADISH CHIPS (with sweet paprika)
A couple of weeks ago I tested a recipe that required the use of just a couple of baby radishes. With a bunch of radishes remaining and with Swedish radish season on our doorstep, I wanted to create something simple and tasty that I could incorporate into a variety of dishes. These chips were…
TOP DECK COOKIE DOUGH NICE CREAM (dairy/refined sugar/gluten-free… and utterly delicious)
It’s hard to believe that it’s been almost two and a half years since I first (and last) posted a “nice cream” recipe here. For the uninitiated, nice cream is essentially an ice-cream textured treat based upon the use of one humble ingredient; frozen bananas. And, despite the ease of preparation, the deliciousness and the fact that no nasties are added…
VEGAN SPICED BUNS (with orange zest & nuts)… + a little announcement
Before I get to the recipe for these yummy buns, I will share both a sneak preview of the buns themselves and my news… simultaneously (two birds, and all of that!). I hope this goes some way to simply explain the reason why I have not been so active in the blogosphere recently. Thankfully the pregnancy…
NECTARINE & AVOCADO TOASTIES (with almonds, feta & chili flakes)
You will need to trust me on this one. These toasties are simply delicious; a perfect balance of savoury and sweet, crunchy and creamy… with touch of zingy, refreshing sourness, a little earthy nuttiness and a subtle kick of heat. Do try this at home. NECTARINE & AVOCADO TOASTIES (with almonds, feta & chili flakes) Serves: 1-2 INGREDIENTS 2…
QUINOA CHIA PORRIDGE WITH MIXED BERRY COMPOTE & ALMONDS
This truly delicious porridge is perfect for a make-ahead breakfast treat; an interesting, healthy, indulgent and different spin on overnight oats, that takes mere minutes to prepare… and is a great way to use up leftover quinoa. It is wonderful served cold, straight from the fridge or, if you prefer, both the compote and the porridge can be warmed…
