Fewer foodie things offer more comfort then soft fluffy mash with a wholesome hearty filling, and with winter here and an apparent cold front with plenty of rain on the way I thought I would share my fish pie recipe with you all. Fish pie is of course quintessentially English but I have sneaked in…

Chickpea Chocolate Chip Cookie – Gluten Free
I don’t think I know anyone who doesn’t like a chocolate chip cookie. Literally. No one. Especially not any kids. Now what if I told you that you could make a much healthier chocolate chip cookie with no compromise on taste that is refined sugar free, packed with protein and just happens to be…
Beetroot with Mint & Yoghurt
Beetroots only seem to appear on menus these days roasted or pickled and whilst I adore them in both these forms there are plenty of other delicious ways to serve them up and I intend to showcase that over the coming months. This is one of my favourite Persian accompaniments and in Farsi is called…

Especially those early morning school starts with my boys. I bought some very cute smoothie/shake…
