London's first all-avo dining concept began life as a pop-up. It took off and now has a permanent site. Avobar does pretty much what it says on the tin – it’s a restaurant where everything on the menu has avocado in it, on it or blended into it. It’s the perfect green homage to the … Continue reading A Nourishing Review: Avobar, Covent Garden
A creamy, protein and veggie packed breakfast bowl that tastes just like chocolate pudding.
The seasons are definitely changing and with the longer nights, shorter light hours and cooler weather, comes a shift in eating habits. While I still do enjoy a colourful vegetable packed quinoa salad or a crunchy kale salad, the evenings have me craving warming bowls of stews or curries. Both are a great way to … Continue reading New Potato, Red Lentil and Coconut Curry

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. Now, I may well be late to the coconut rice game, but I’ve always found the options on restaurant menus of ‘sticky coconut rice’ less than appealing. I always … Continue reading Coconut Rice w/ Greens and Spicy Sesame Sauce
It’s the fourth and final post in my Butternut Squash Series and I am excited to share this last one with you.

My love for butternut squash is strong, as you will have noticed, this being my third post in the Butternut Squash Series. This may be my favourite of the meals so far, but there’s still one more post to go so the jury is still out.

Why is this called a smoothie juice? What makes this pear so prickly?
