Firstly, I would be remiss if I did not take a moment to thank each and every person who read and responded to my last post. I had no idea it would have such a marked effect on so many of you, and while I don’t derive any joy from knowing others have been through…
An open letter to my relationship with food
(Disclaimer: the following touches upon the difficulties of my personal relationship and journey with food, weight, and body image. If you have a history of disordered habits and find any of the above triggering, I recommend you skip this post.) Hello, old friend. It’s been a while since you reared your ugly head. I’m sorry, I…
Gluten-Free Millet Mercimek Köftesi
If you follow me on Snapchat, you will have seen me post about this recipe more than just a couple of times last week. The reason being that it’s delightful, and I’m obsessed, of course. Looks familiar you say? Well, admittedly it is a re-take on my recipe for curried Mercimek Köftesi a couple of…
Chocolate Cherry No-Bake Cookies
Thanks in large part to a week’s worth of experimentation with Bare Chocolates, I am now a firm believer in the revelation that is the no-bake treat. Don’t get me wrong, I love a traditional baked good (blueberry muffins will always have a special place in my heart) but for the time being I’m favouring the freezer over…
Bare Chocolates Review

Is being vegan more expensive?
There’s no doubt about it – veganism is definitely on its way to becoming mainstream. With far more than just a handful of celebrities publicly backing plant-based diets, governments urging countries to cut down on meat consumption and trend data showing an spike in interest for vegan products, we can safely say that veganism is not just for…
Classic Matcha Green Smoothie
Matcha is one of those ubiquitous food-blogger type fad ingredients that has long graced our web browsers and Instagram feeds in the form of popsicles, pancakes, cheesecakes and blended almond-milk lattes. That said, I will happily admit to being late to the game on this one, but in my defense I have a couple of formidable reasons…
