We have been eating lots of salads and fresh fish meals this week; quick and simple dishes that are packed with flavour and goodness.  As you know one of my favourite vegetables is the courgette (zucchini), often maligned and forgotten, it’s a versatile and tasty vegetable…
Happy Easter weekend everyone, I hope you are all having a super time. I wanted to share with you a recipe I have been working on for a little while. As a child (and still as an adult) one of my favourite things to do when…
Since we got back from our mini break life’s been crazy busy. I can’t believe it’s Easter this weekend! Where has that come from? And more to the point, where is this year going!? For the last three years we’ve been away over Easter so…
I am so sorry for my absence these past couple of weeks, I hope you will forgive me, I feel we have a lot to catch up on! Last week Ports and I took a trip to Annecy in the Rhône-Alpes region in south-eastern France followed by a…
I’ve been experimenting with breakfast dishes quite a bit recently as a lot of people say that they find this the hardest meal of the day when trying to be ‘Paleo’. Life does get in the way a lot and can seem even harder especially when you…

Growing up my brother and I used to love Angel Delight, he would always go for the strawberry (which I thought tasted like chemicals) and I would have the chocolate. Although we had a pretty competitive and tumultuous childhood relationship, we were in fact very…
For the last couple of weeks I have really been putting my new Nutribullet through its paces. Anything that can be smoothied, has been smoothied! It’s so simple to use, easy to clean and blends everything to smooth perfection. Every green smoothie I seem to…
It is FREEZING in London at the moment so we have been filling ourselves up with lots of homemade soups, stews and curries. We have also headed back to the gym (at last), it’s amazing how just a few endorphins (and a lot of sweat)…
Now I’m not going to lie to you, I’m going to be brutally honest. I have not been to the gym in five weeks… Ok I suppose it’s technically six. There, I’ve said it, I’ve confessed. My body is so unused to movement that after…
