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…

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…
Edible gifts to make with children
As Christmas is fast approaching I thought I would do a roundup of my favourite recipes out there for foodie gifts you could make with the kids. My little girl has been talking about Christmas for weeks now as they have been rehearsing for their nativity play at school but now it’s December it has definitely…
12 grains to try with the kids
Lately, I’ve been doing a few nutrition courses to get a bit more knowledge on the subject and the main thing that stuck with me is how variety plays such an important part of a healthy diet. It makes sense if you think about it, different foods provide different nutrients so eating various foods every…

Lentil Spaghetti bolognese
Cooking this lentil spaghetti for dinner today made me reflect on how my life has changed in the last five years. Life couldn’t be more different. We have moved from a busy London to ‘the countryside’ with the addition of two children who have become the centre of my world. One thing that hasn’t changed so much…
Spring Vegetable & Chicken Stew
It’s spring time! I love this time of year. The days are longer, flowers start to appear everywhere, and everything is just greener. This dish is a celebration of spring. It’s fresh, healthy, packed with green vegetables and a great one-pot dish that doesn’t require hours to cook. It’s adapted from a vegetable stew with…
Date & Coconut biscuits (Sugar- free)
My new favourite thing to do with my daughter is to bake biscuits & cookies. She loves it… it’s like Play Dough but she’s allowed to have a taste and enjoy the results. Predictably her favourite word is now ‘cookie’ but I don’t want her to eat too many sweet treats. The problem with most…
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…
Tahini chicken skewers with grilled vegetable couscous
Tahini is one of the ingredients I have rediscovered recently. You can use it for so much more than just hummus, it’s great for sauces and works well with meat. My tahini chicken skewers recipe is more suitable for toddlers than small babies. Most babies could have it but you have to be careful as…
