Sweet & Sticky Fig & Pistachio Quinoa Porridge…& Eating Intuitively
“The weather outside is frightful, but the fire is so delightful…” This line generates a feeling of warmth within me… not just that it connects me to my own inner fire, or Agni as it’s known in Yoga. Tuning in to our own inner Agni can connect us to feelings of internal physical warmth, weContinue reading “Sweet & Sticky Fig & Pistachio Quinoa Porridge…& Eating Intuitively”
Peach, Pea & Halloumi Salad

When I think of rhubarb I think of ‘Roobarb and Custard’ the 1970’s kids TV show, or Rhubarb and Custard penny sweets, or endless Rhubarb crumbles every Sunday through the summer… I’m never very sure whether Rhubarb is a vegetable or a fruit and I’m always slightly panicked as to what to do with it.

Papaya & Coconut Porridge
It’s a tropical winter warmer… Sweet & fruity, but wonderfully warming on a cold winter’s morning… Porridge sets me up until lunch, providing there’s enough protein in it.
