I’ve always had a love-hate relationship with eggs. As a toddler I loved hard-boiled egg and soliders (or shoulders as I would call them).

So ‘giving up’ eggs when I learnt about … Continue reading Easy Veganuary Habits and Hacks: Eggs
London's first all-avo dining concept began life as a pop-up. It took off and now has a permanent site.

It’s the perfect green homage to the … Continue reading A Nourishing Review: Avobar, Covent Garden

There is one simple inspiration behind this meal: something I can eat easily that is soft on my teeth.

Welcome to my new favourite way to cook rice. There’s no fancy techniques involved, no expensive equipment just some plain old white rice and coconut milk.
