Being in the minority during celebrations and gatherings can be, and often is, difficult; at times, you may think it is impossible that your family will accept your choice and not question you at every opportunity that arises.

Thumbprint Summer Fruit Buns
If like me, you have eaten your body weight in hot cross buns this Easter, and can’t bear to look at the devils, then I have the thing just for you (and for your family if you are willing to share). These buns are a combination of a simple 5 ingredient sweet yeasted dough and... Continue Reading →
Coconut and Berry Crumble Bars (vegan and gluten-free)
If the thought of warm fruit and oat crumble drowned in custard doesn’t make you drool I’m not sure what will. Crumble is the ultimate childhood pudding; most of us have memories of it served in primary school at lunchtime, or on the weekend at grandmas house, and whatever memories you may have regarding it...

Tofu Scramble with Garlic Fried Cherry Tomatoes and Kale (vegan and gluten-free)
On a sunshine-filled day, all that you need to complete the perfect equation is a good brunch; I am not one to chose the savory over the sweet option (a true 5-year-old at heart) but if it came down to this tofu scramble and pancakes I'd be in a real predicament.

These millionaire shortbreads are 100% plant-based, indulgent, satisfying and healthy; that's right, plants are more edible than people assume. A crumbly oat and coconut base, followed by a layer...

Last week I was talking to some friends (shout out to... Continue Reading →
How To Break Up With Your Phone
Phones: the genius and revolutionary invention that has taken over the 21st-century market and people, but should we continue to let a box of tech have such a powerful hold over our lives? The average adult spends 3.5 hours on a mobile a day, that is 1277.5 hours in a year which converts to a... Continue Reading →
Shopping: The Modern Olympics
Ready. Set. Go. That is what entering a shop can often feel like. The big bright banners enticing you, slogans that motivate you, and of course the intense competition of other offer hunters, the atmosphere is almost heavy with adrenaline, a description that can't be used for my purse or bank card. We are greedy,... Continue Reading →
