Warm, creamy and smoky baba ganoush makes us want to cuddle up under a blanket and watch good films so it’s perfect for an Autumn weekend lunch. The aubergines are best cooked in halves or if you have a gas hob you can stick the aubergine, whole, right on top of it for an extra smokey flavour – maybe just open the window a bit and make sure you turn it often! …
Snacks
Nutty Cluster Munchies
These are delicious!! They make you squeal with delight! Around Christmas time we like to make pan forte as they make great snacks for walking as well as ideal presents. This is a variation on that recipe to make smaller crunchy bites – fab for a walk or a mid morning snack to keep you going. They’re chewy and nutritious and don’t take long to make at all. We tested these out on a crew of friends and they were all gone!!…
Fig Bonbons
You really can make lovely last minute Christmas presents with very little effort! These are delicious snacks – perfect for walks over the festive season and make gorgeous gifts for family and friends. Just blitz together and make into rounds and cover in tasty sesame seeds. Wrap with a pretty ribbon for festive cheer!…
Apple Crisps
An easy way to preserve apples! If they are falling off the trees around your ears then use our simple recipe to keep them yummy for longer. These make great snacks for all and will keep in a jar for quite a while….
Tahini flapjacks

Happy Pancake Day!…
Kale Kiwi Apple Smoothie
Sometimes we lack inspiration when it comes to breakfast and just pour milk over processed cereal…but it’s really boring! So we hope this will give you the courage to spice things up a bit. Kale may not seem like the most appealing vegetable to eat raw, however in this context you get all of its green goodness but very little of its taste. Apple and kiwi bring a delicious freshness to this smoothie and make it a really enjoyable and healthy start to the day. …
Olive, Walnut and Sundried Tomato Muffin
This is our latest favourite top speed soup accompaniment. Mediterranean olives, walnuts and sun dried tomatoes make this version of our savoury gluten free muffins super tasty! Whip them up and serve warm from the oven with soup or as a yummy snack. A great alternative to bread. …
Pan Forte
Pan forte is lovely to give as a small foodie gift at Christmas – it has a gorgeous citrus flavour from the peel and the nuts and dried fruit are a great little energy boost to keep you going on a long wintery walk. We like to wrap it up with a bow for Christmas stockings!…
