Last week I happily received a fresh batch of kimchi from my Mum. She made it using this Happy Pear recipe and it’s absolutely delicious. Kimchi is great for your digestion and has a load of health benefits. I used Mum’s kimchi to make this easy stir fry based loosely on a Korean Kimchi Udon …
I have a notebook that I’ve used as a handwritten recipe book since I moved away from home at 18. I asked my Mum for our favourite recipes and copied them from her cookbook collection, making adaptations as I went along as my Mum never makes anything exactly as the recipe states. In this book …
Sometimes you have to take a cold hard look in the fridge and realise that this week you shopped for no recipes. You picked up the usual weekly stuff (bread, crisps, salad, hummus) and the odd impulsive item (chocolate soya milk, raspberries, agave syrup) but during the week you go through the kitchen to realise …
As part of a self-care themed day off work I decided to have a go at making Adrienne Mishler’s Yoga Mat Spray. If you haven’t yet seen any of Adrienne’s Yoga with Adrienne videos I urge you to ditch this blog right now and watch one. But please come back. I need the external gratification of …

As part of Bread Week (it’s basically GBBO in here) we made pizza! I had plain flour in the cupboard and wanted a simple recipe without any faff so of course I turned to ‘A Girl Called Jack’ by Jack Monroe. If you haven’t got this book in your kitchen, buy it now. It’s budget store …
Classic September mood. It doesn’t seem to matter how long it’s been since you were at school, September still feels like the start of a new year and the time to learn something. Last night I finished a yoga class (I know, I’m a stereotype but don’t worry, I can’t even touch my toes yet …
Tom called this meal ‘hipster sausages, chips and beans’ which made me eye roll at myself for being such a stereotype. To be fair, the sausages were veggie ones from a packet and it was all so so easy but the meal did resemble something likely to be served in tiny enamel buckets in a …
I make this recipe at least once a week. I’m not even sure if it counts as a recipe because it changes every time but the basic concept stays the same. We started calling it ‘Quickie Pasta’ as it’s our go to for evenings when I really can’t be bothered to make an effort and …
