“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”

Mushroom, Lentil & Red Wine ‘Shepherd’s’ Pie… (He’s a veg shepherd. Obvs.)
The crisp cold and frosty season is well and truly upon us. The air is cold and the sky is blue, which can provide light relief from the January blues… The stillness of winter reminds us how important rest is though. Pacing ourselves, and taking time to be still, whether that’s sitting with a warmContinue reading “Mushroom, Lentil & Red Wine ‘Shepherd’s’ Pie… (He’s a veg shepherd. Obvs.)”

Wild Chestnut & Thyme Risotto
By next week they’ll be gone. But while you can, there’s a bounty of smooth, nutty, sweet Autumn Chestnuts ready in abundance and littering the floor of the woods… Don’t mistake them for conkers (or worse vice versa)… You’ll know a sweet Chestnut by it’s green shell of fine spines, which is almost impossible toContinue reading “Wild Chestnut & Thyme Risotto”

Pink Potato, Fennel & Leek Soup
The temperature has dropped again and it seems like everyone is poorly… Mine included. So we’re bundled up with sniffs and snivels and only hot soup and toast will do. That along with chamomile tea and ginger biscuits! No problem though, snuggling on the sofa and reading back to back Roald Dahl is a treat…Continue reading “Pink Potato, Fennel & Leek Soup”

Spaghetti Puttanesca for One…
There’s something quite wonderful about being home alone, just myself to please and my own whims and fancies to indulge… It means strong salty flavours, preserved fish, anchovies, smoked mackerel, salmon and carbs. There’s a whole lot of love wrapped up in a dish for one, and this spaghetti puttanesca sums it up for me…Continue reading “Spaghetti Puttanesca for One…”

Golden Beetroot Soup with Maple Roast Walnuts & Feta…
This one was a surprise to me! Sweet, earthy goodness from the king of vegetables… The mighty, hearty, just plain delicious beetroot. Can you tell I’m a fan?

Spelt & Honey Split-Tin Loaf
It’s been ages since I’ve made a loaf using commercial yeast, but yesterday was an exceptional day… My boy was home sick, and so was I. Nursing my sourdough, and getting up to bake it early this morning, was more than I could face. Plus, being the last week of January we are utterly utterlyContinue reading “Spelt & Honey Split-Tin Loaf”

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. I definitely couldn’t get by on oats and milk, but the addition of coconut milk, and or nuts and seeds keeps me going. I absolutely love thatContinue reading “Papaya & Coconut Porridge”

Mighty Minestrone & Other Winter Warmers
In the thick of this cold snap, bundled up in chunky knitwear and just as I was gloating that I haven’t been ill since I can’t remember, it hit me. The worst cold virus I’ve had since I can’t remember… hot & cold, aching all over, 3 days on the sofa and counting and mostContinue reading “Mighty Minestrone & Other Winter Warmers”
