Macadamia Milk Strawberries and Cream Milkshake

Vegan, dairy free, sugar free

Strawberry season is upon us and what could be more quintessentially English than strawberries and cream. Although this time it’s in the form of a smoothie. Don’t be tempted to skip on the macadamia milk for this, but it’s the macadamia milk that gives this smoothie its luscious creaminess.

Creamy macademia milk - It is delightful in ice cream and also delicious in smoothies when you want a real creaminess that you just cannot get from almond milk or the other milks.

Spring Alphonso Mango Salad with Pistachio Dressing

Mangos and pistachios are a mouth-watering combination in a dessert but also work well with bitter or peppery greens in a salad with some red chillies. I use pistachio oil, a boutique gourmet oil, in the dressing which enhances the overall pistachio flavour however if you can’t find it, olive oil would work equally as well. Equally balsamic vinegar is divine in the dressing instead of the apple cider vinegar.

7 steps to keeping your fridge cold so your food lasts longer

7 STEPS TO KEEPING YOUR FRIDGE COLD SO YOUR FOOD LASTS LONGER. The ideal temperature for a fridge is between 3 degrees C (37 degrees F) and 5 degrees C (40 degrees F) to stop harmful bacteria from growing. Too cold and your lettuce will be frozen and too warm, your food will spoil.

Red Velvet Cake

‘Cake’ and ‘raw food’ are not generally words that go hand in hand but I maintain it is possible to make many raw versions of cooked classics. This red velvet cake is light and has a sponge like consistency. It contains beetroot pulp and juice for the fabulous red hue and has a few extra vegetables in the form of apple and courgettes for good measure.

The Marrakech

Vegan, diary free dressing. This dressing works really well as a marinade for mushrooms.

As yet, I have never visited Marrakech, but if I had I imagine that this dressing would be served lavishly over some very strong flavoured baby leaves, shredded carrots and dark olives.

Hot Schokolade

(Dairy free, gluten free, vegan)

When there’s a chill in the air, I find myself propelled towards a smooth hot chocolate drink for comfort. Imagine being about to make one that is so rich, thick and creamy that you thought you could be in one of those little cafes in Switzerland. Free from cream, dairy and sugar so it’s a perfect healthy treat.

NOTES: I always feel more comforted if I warm the mug first. It gives the feeling of a hot drink and makes it feel even more indulgent.

Toffee Apple Slices

Dairy free, gluten free, vegan

Crumbly shortbread, rich toffee balanced with apples and dark chocolate. This will be a recipe you’ll want to come back to time and time again. Also, I’ve always found that baking has a fair few uncertainties around it – which is another reason to love these slices.

Coconut Milk

a dairy-free, creamy milk

This is a creamier coconut milk. Just right if you are in need of something rich and comforting.

You can often find young Thai coconut meat in the frozen section of your local Asian supermarket.
