The importance of where our meat has come from is a subject we should all be aware of. To retain all of its natural goodness and flavour you should look for ethically produced meats reared on grass in a happy, healthy environment. What is good for the…
Every weekday morning I walk through the tube station and pass a McDonald’s. It’s the one place that always, no matter what time of day or night, has a queue running outside the door with people piled into it. Lots of teenagers appear there daily to get their 7:30am…
Last week on my way home from work, whilst sat on the bus, I watched in complete disbelief as a mother (laden with shopping bags filled with boxes of cereals, fruit juice and pizza) handed her young son a family sized bag of crisps, a large…
It has taken me a while but I have cracked it and I think this recipe is probably my biggest triumph yet. Gluten and dairy free herby pastry and yes ma’am does it taste spectacular too. I feel that with the chicken nuggets and perfect…
Last week was a really difficult one and I had a real wake up call. On Friday night I ended up in Moorfields Eye Hospital A and E. I had been having odd flashes in my right eye and throughout the week they got progressively…

One of my favourite kitchen utensils has to be my spiralizer (UK / US). For those of you who don’t know what a spiralizer is it’s basically an inexpensive (about £30) plastic stand that you manually feed your vegetable (or fruit) of choice through to create…
I can’t believe that in a couple of months it will have been a whole year since Ports and I got married, surrounded by a close group of family and friends on an island called Lombok in Indonesia. I know that everyone always says it…
Sunday’s for me are all about relaxation. Where I grew up in South Wales Sunday’s always followed a similar structure of roast lunch, board games a long walk and an early night ready for school the next day. Everything for miles was closed and unless…
The sun is shining and even though it is mighty cold outside and with the BBC’s constant threat of snow (stop teasing us Londoners and just make it happen!) I have spent my week feeling positively… well positive I suppose! I’ve been drinking lots of…
