Anti-inflammatory Golden Turmeric Milk

Anti-inflammatory Golden Turmeric Milk  As some of you may already know, I've been suffering with eczema, IBS, anxiety and low mood for many years (click here to find out more). My immune system seems to be very active and so I have a lot of inflammation in my body. Chronic inflammation is bad news as it's the precursor to many chronic diseases, which is worrying, so I try to eat as many anti-inflammatory foods as possible. Turmeric being one of them.  Turmeric is said to be one of the best natural anti-inflammatory agents out there, definitely something to include in the diet, especially if you have any kind of auto-immune conditions and allergies.  When it comes to making anti-inflammatory golden turmeric milk, there [...]

Raw Salted Caramel Brownies

Raw Salted Caramel Brownies A treat to satisfy your chocolate cravings without any processed sugar, processed oils or any other nasty added ingredients.  I'm a huge fan of energy/bliss balls - basically any snack made out of dates and nuts. They make a great snack because they're high in fibre, good fats and they're sweet without the need to add any kind of processed refined sugars. Nothing beats whole dates as a form of sweetener, not even the sugar-free varieties, which we are yet to find out their long-term effects as they're relatively new to our diets.  Instead of blending dates and nuts and shaping them into balls, I added in some cocoa powder into the mix and pressed the mixture into [...]

How to Make Cashew Cheese (5 ingredient recipe)

Cheese is such a staple in the typical British diet. We use it heavily in dishes but more and more people are choosing to cut it out from their diet for a variety of reasons. Whenever I've asked a vegan what they missed most about the way they used to eat, the most common answer I get is "cheese!".

Matcha Energy Balls

Matcha Energy Balls I'm a serious snacker and can't go through a day without snacking in between meals. As many of you already know, I I suffer with IBS (irritable bowl syndrome) and have basically endured abdominal and digestive discomfort for most of my adult life - on a daily basis! I haven't had a day where I haven't felt bloated at some point during the day. I've tried all kinds of things and have cut out different foods to try to determine a food sensitivity, but without any luck.  Early on in the year, I went to see a nutritional therapist who advised me to take a comprehensive gut test to check the health of my bowels. To cut the story short [...]

Middle Eastern Inspired Almond Milks – Halva & Turkish Delight

Middle Eastern Inspired Almond Milks - Halva & Turkish Delight Both these desserts, halva and turkish delight, have a special place in my heart. I grew up loving, but rarely eating either of them. We only had treats like this when visiting relatives or at special occasions. Not too long ago I made another 'halva' recipe - my Halva overnight oats. As you can probably tell I'm OBSESSED with tahini and tahini flavoured goodies!  The Turkish delight we used to get in Iraq was usually pink, with a hint of rose flavour and crunchy pistachios in the middle.  I love using funky flavoured milks to pour over my granola (like this and this), chocolate or hazelnut milk is usually my faves but I [...]
