This is super easy blender recipe, that is decadent, rich and gooey. It is a raw recipe so no need to bake but every excuse to eat out of the bowl! You can switch the nuts to others if you prefer, walnuts for hazelnuts is my favourite substitution for the Nutella vibe. I also sometimes …
Mr B loves loves loves thanksgiving and nothing gives him more pleasure than a pumpkin pie. He lights pumpkin pie candles and has pumpkin pie lattes (with almond milk of course) and so I had to make him the tastiest and healthiest pumpkin pie possible. No mean feat and quite the pressure (felt like I …
‘Beautiful food and health are priceless’ This is a heavenly cake from Ottolenghi, one of my favorite chefs. He is Isreali-English which is why you see souk ingredients such as rose water and cardamom. These are ingredients used in mainly middle eastern and Indian desserts. The smell of the food takes you on a journey …

Hazelnuts are a rich source of nutrients and healthy fats including omega 6 and 9 …
This recipe is straight out of Bon Appetit. Normally I’ll take a base recipe and adapt it, but this recipe was perfect. Healthy, simple and quick. The Chia acts as the binder, so you don’t need any extra ingredients like pectin. My blueberries were sweet enough, so I only needed the 3-tbsp. maple syrup, but …
‘Food is symbolic of love, when words are inadequate’ It was Mr. B and my anniversary this week and so I made him this pie and for the first time in seven years he cooked for me. Ahh, yes, Mr. B is allowed in the kitchen, but I think once every seven years may be …
‘One small positive thought in the morning can change your whole day’ I get up at 5am to commute to work and so am always looking for dishes that can be eaten on the go. I also buy a lot of fresh produce from the farmers market to prep at the weekend and so am …
‘There is beauty in simplicity’ I like to make my own granola for health reasons but also for taste. I love sweet salt umami for example, so adding salt accentuates that element.
