I’m a chocoholic and this is torture! I’m writing about these brownies without having one to eat at this moment in time. I would be the happiest person on earth if I could make them again and again to have a constant supply. These chocolate and raspberry brownies taste amazing! They are moist, squidgy, indulgent…

Hopefully you’re past your Christmas Turkey overload by now as I wanted to share this Moroccan Meatball recipe made with Turkey mince. Perfect…
Nutty Cacao Balls
I still get surprised at how regularly my kids need a little snack. As they are so active, I find their energy levels can drop really quickly. One minute they seem fine and suddenly I’ll have a screaming toddler, who will not listen and give me no clue as to what is wrong. With time, I’ve…
2nd Birthday party food
Last month was my daughter 2nd Birthday. After the popularity of my first birthday food post I thought I would share what we did for her 2nd Birthday. I have to say I think planning a second birthday takes a little more time and consideration than the first. The kids need a little more…
Ricotta & basil Gnudi with a quick tomato sauce
I only tried Gnudi for the first time recently…and it’s amazing! It’s like nothing else I have ever tasted. A little bit like Gnocchi but made of ricotta instead of potatoes. The word Gnudi comes from the Italian for ‘nude’ and refers to the idea of ‘naked ravioli’. The dumplings are delicate, soft and melt…
Poached chicken with Freekeh
I only came across freekeh this year but it has now become a cereal we regularly eat in our household. Freekeh (sometimes spelt frikeh or farik/ farikah) is a Middle Eastern wholegrain. It is green roasted wheat and has a wonderful nutty flavour and it easy to cook. Freekeh is also high in fiber and…
Mango and passion fruit ice lollies (Sugar free)
When we were on holiday my daughter had her first taste of ice cream. She wanted more! As she’s not even one yet I wasn’t keen for her to have too much because of the sugar content. Most ice creams contain 21% sugar with some as high as 26%. Once home I decided to try…
Moussaka
This classic Greek recipe is a family favourite. Traditional Moussaka would be made with layers of sliced potatoes but I find this makes the dish a little heavy. I’ve experimented with many Moussaka recipes over the years but my latest discovery is to add two beaten eggs to the béchamel as suggested by Felicity Cloake…
Blackstrap molasses & blueberry cake
You know you have some days where everything seems to go wrong. Today was one of those days until I sat down with a cup of tea and a piece of this ‘Blackstrap molasses & blueberry cake’. Even whilst I was making it things weren’t going well: the kitchen scales broke, my daughter woke up…
Cheesy baked polenta chips
My daughter is mad about cheese. I don’t mind giving it to her occasionally but as it is has a high salt content I prefer not to give it to her all the time! I have enjoyed cooking with polenta for a while. I like using the fast cook grain rather than the ready made…
Apricot yoghurt cake (Sugar-free)
Making a sugar free cake or pudding is not that easy! It’s taken a few attempts to get it right. But finally, I am really happy with this recipe. It’s a light spongy healthy dessert. A pudding the whole family can enjoy as it doesn’t contain any refined sugar. The natural sweetness of the dried…
French toast with blueberries & Greek yoghurt
I started having this French toast recipe when I was pregnant and I still love it now. It’s a real treat for breakfast on a lazy Sunday. I adapted the recipe from the yummy mummy pregnancy cookbook and have tweaked it again to make it more suitable to babies. Eggy bread is a great finger…
