The older I get, the more I realise that the aspect of a globalised world I previously enjoyed (that is, being able to purchase figs and raspberries in the dead of winter) is not really all that worthy of celebration, particularly when it’s mainly for a ‘gram shot. Not only are there the carbon miles…
Read MoreBalsamic brown sugar roasted strawberry caprese salad
Instagram is a purveyor of many things: The skinny tea model, the destination you’d never heard of but must immediately travel to, the rainbow salad and/or smoothie bowl with a hundred different superfood powders and star shaped fruit cuts. On a more subtle level, but equally as able to induce jealousy, I’d say, is the…
Read MoreHerby vegan avocado pasta (FODMAP friendly and gluten free)
I haven’t always been super enthused by the concept of avocado pasta (isn’t that what pesto is for?) but I decided to give it a try after seeing so many glorious Instagram renditions of the dish. As much as I absolutely love a good pesto (and more importantly, as much as I love a good…
Read MorePreserved lemon roasted pumpkin, Greek Yoghurt and chilli
Preserved lemon: is there anything it can’t do? Pumpkin roasted in preserved lemon brine, and served with roasted preserved lemon itself, elevates a scrappy fridge dinner to something else entirely.

Read MoreGluten free broccoli and parmesan pizza bases
I used to eye roll at people who claimed that such and such a food was an integral part of their weekly routine. As someone who used to be thoroughly shook if Mum told me we were having the same thing for dinner two nights in a row, I couldn’t fathom how people could be…
Read MoreGrain free zucchini, ricotta and herb tart
Sometimes I am so naive and oblivious that I wonder how I’ve made it to the ripe old age of 26. Up until recently, I watched on in awe as the illustrious people of Instagram showcased their perfectly, uniformly sliced carrot batons, leaving me wondering why mine ranged from the side of a matchstick to…
Read MoreGluten free roasted grape, sage and cheese tart with hazelnut crust
New year, new me, new gluten free tart, new website. This (website, not so much tart) has been a long time coming, considering I’m often referred to, particularly by tenacious young PR assistants, as a full time ‘blogger.’ Being as tech illiterate and impatient as I am, I have been putting off having my own…
