‘Love doesn’t sit there like a stone, it has to be made, like bread; re-made every day, made new’. This is a lovely base recipe from Amy Chaplin’s whole food cooking every day.

‘Timeless and versatile, almonds are an organic shade that speak to authenticity and all that is natural’ I found this recipe in Goop, when looking for ‘alternative’ flour recipes.

‘Just say cheese’ When I turned to vegetarianism at the tender age of 13, one of the things I missed most was my mum’s roast lamb. She would make it at Christmas, Easter and on request for special occasions. One of the things that made up for giving this up was to get extra portions …
