I’ve been experimenting with Carob lately, and really liking the results like this Carob Bark and my Carob Fudge Bliss Balls coming in a few weeks! Carob powder, like cacao powder is a dark brown in colour and it’s often used in similar sorts of recipes. However it has a very different flavour. Carob is actually naturally quite sweet and … Read More
Mango Pancakes
I bought my first mangoes of the season at the markets on Saturday and thought, what a perfect way to christen them with these Mango Pancakes! These pancakes are a cool take on my base pancake recipe, with protein, complex carbohydrates and healthy fats (not to mention stacks of flavour!) these will help regulate your blood sugars throughout the morning and keep … Read More
Satay Salmon with Satay Cauliflower Rice

Easy Satay Sauce
Whip up this 4-ingredient satay sauce whenever you’re in a hurry and need something tasty for your dinner or to impress guests! It’s a very versatile sauce – I use it as you would any satay sauce; in a chicken dish, but it’s also nice to marinade some salmon or chicken drumsticks before grilling. One of my favourite new uses for … Read More
Crispy Sardine Sprats
Sardines are extremely nutritious. They’re packed with long-chain omega-3 fatty acids, calcium, protein, iron, zinc and many other minerals. They’re also a more sustainable seafood as they’re much lower down on the food chain. They are, however, not always the most tasty food! This recipe is a different take on sardines that (at least for me) makes them way more … Read More
Choc-Chilli-Chai
There are so many different ‘lattes’ blends on the market these days – turmeric, chai, hot chocolate, gingerbread, even beetroot lattes (yes, they’re bright pink)! But no Choc Chilli Chai… One of the perks of working in a health food store with a cafe is that I get to experiment with all these different flavours! I’ve always really enjoyed dark … Read More
Raw Red Velvet Mud Cake
I make some pretty amazing Red Velvet Bliss Balls (the recipe is in my Bliss Balls ebook), if I do say so myself. They’re rich and decadent but at the same time quite light as they use beetroot! Recently on social media I’ve been seeing a lot of chocolate mudcakes-type recipes and it got me thinking about my Red Velvet … Read More
Beautiful DIY Body Butter
For quite a while now I’ve used simply coconut oil as my ‘body butter’, make-up remover, as well as in cooking. However, I’ve recently decided to try cacao butter as a base in combination with some dietary manipulations to help treat some skin irritations as it’s worked for others and is a relatively low-reactive oil. Cacao butter, however is solid … Read More
