Oh holy moly. I feel like this recipe should come with a (jokey) warning - you WILL want to eat your way through the entire tray. In fact, it will take ALL of your willpower not to. Recently, on Instagram stories, I got a request to make a 'Healthy Millionaire Squares' recipe - and you … Continue reading Dark Chocolate Tahini Caramel Squares
I may have a slight obsession with roasted cauliflower. I don't know if anyone has said that sentence before... but sue me, you guys know I love veg, so it should be no surprise!

I don't define my 'diet' very strictly, but if people really push for an answer, I say that I'm a plant-focused or plant-based meat-eater. That doesn't mean I eat meat everyday - in fact, some of my favourite recipes are vegetarian. I try to keep my lunches vegetarian during the week especially (more for the … Continue reading Baked Tempeh with a Nutty Honey Glaze

I absolutely love Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine and cooking, so this spice is one I've seen … Continue reading Sumac Spiced Chickpeas & Aubergine with Tahini Yogurt Dressing
Truth time. I LOVE the idea of 'slaw', but I don't eat it very often. With the exception of when I order homemade versions from some cafes I've tried it at in Dublin - for example, at Wellfest this year, I had a delicious slaw from The Happy Pear stand!
