Hi there, Reader Meet my new Tahini Granola! It's packed with toasty nuts and seeds (or just seeds if nuts aren't your thing), dried fruit and plenty of delicious sesame flavour, with a texture that's crunchy, golden, and almost cookie-like. It's ridiculously good by the handful (arguably the correct way to eat granola), but also excellent with yogurt, smoothie bowls, chia pudding or a splash of your fave cold dairy-free milk. And there's one very important trick: you have to compact it down...

Hi there, Reader Okay, this one is pretty in pink! π π PIN FOR LATER Meet my new Blended Raspberry Chia Pudding. A creamy, fruity, lightly sweet, slightly tart little number that needs just 5 ingredients, takes minutes to make, and works with fresh or frozen raspberries. Like my recent chocolate chia pudding, this one is blended until silky smooth, so you don't get the weird chia pudding texture, which can be off-putting for some (me included). I love having some of this in the fridge ready...

Hi there, Reader The grill is hot. The tofu is marinating. Life is good. βοΈ It starts with a punchy lemony, garlicky, noochy marinade that does double duty. First, it transforms the tofu while it marinates. Then, whatever's left becomes the most ridiculously good finishing sauce. (I love an overachiever!) β¨ Quick to prep.π₯ Perfect for the BBQ.π₯ Just as good on an indoor grill pan or in a skillet.π
Meal-prep friendly because the flavour gets even better as it hangs out in the fridge. So if...

Hi there, Reader Is anyone else shamelessly leaning over the kitchen sink, devouring juicy peaches a lot recently? πβοΈ They are so good that I rarely do anything with them outside of just eating them fresh, but if you are lucky enough to have an abundance of them and can't eat them fast enough, here are some recipes that are perfect for using them up!
