This healthy vegetarian recipe is from a book by Lisa Roukin, My Relationship with Food, and it makes a lovely nutritious lunch which you can prepare in advance.

This recipe comes from the book called SugarDetoxMe (check the review at the end) and it’s one of those healthy dinners which are easy and quick to make. I love having fish once or twice a week but I always tend to make it in the same way (check this baked salmon dinner recipe) so it’s […]
This is another recipe which I got an idea for during my last visit in Slovenia. In Slovenia, having a bowl of soup as a starter is more common than in the UK. Also when it’s hot, Slovenians love having their soups. This type of soups are quite light and mostly vegetable-based since they are […]

Cakes and desserts are not something that I eat every day and they are usually reserved for weekends but we all need a treat sometimes, right? It’s all about balance for me – my […]

I normally use spinach for chickpea and spinach soup or for lentil and carrot soup with spinach, however, this time I wanted to try something different.
