Lovely herby roast for a Saturday evening. My way through this lockdown seems to be about eating food that makes me really very happy.

With everyone at home at the moment, getting nutritious time-efficient lunches in seems to high on the priority list. It's too easy to reach for the bread ham and cheese isn't it? Soups are a great way to do this, and there are ways to make them even more faff-free by roasting ingredients first so all you have to do is add water and vegetable bouillon and blitz (when Google Classroom allows!).

Remember you can freeze any leftovers or, if they are tomato based, keep them in the fridge for up to 5 days for pasta/gnocchi and pizza sauce.

I hope that helps 😊. Xx

THIS means alot... the Kitchen Club feels like a very sacred space right now. My coaching and recipes are based on evidence & theory which means you get results, however much you think you can't cook. And it's the results bit that I love!

Lunch ideas 💡 ... this my classic slaw that I have year round when I think there's nothing to eat. Peel and grate a carrot, a small chunk of celeriac, 1/3 courgette and a grated chunk of cheddar or Parmesan. All on the large grate to add texture and substance. I dress it with a splash of oil, cider vinegar and salt and pepper. It's super simple and takes seconds to prepare (which is good as homeschool leaves zero time for food prep!). Often have two boiled eggs with it as well and a few slices of my toasted DizzleSky loaf.

Don't wory if all you feel like grabbing are the biscuits. I just wanted to share this as I know lots of you are looking for lunch inspo now you're at home. And just to keep it real, there's no way in hell my kids would touch it! They go for the boiled egg, a cheese sandwich, a peeled carrot and some apple. Same same but different. Hope you are okay today x

More baking with Toby. Seems it's therapy to both

More baking with Toby. Seems it's therapy to both of us. I love watching him measure, kneed (in his own twisty kinda way), and mix. I also love the smells these cinnamon and cardamon buns release. Utter heaven.

Great for a late breakfast or mid-afternoon snack. Recipe is from the fantastic @trinehahnemann. It's fantastic and fills the house with joy. I halve the recipe for 12 and ice the tops with water, lemon and icing sugar. Perfect for making with kids as they can dip in and out of the process.

Hope you are all getting on okay and finding your own methods of therapy 😊 x

Me and Google Classroom aren't really friends... but I am happy to persevere for the greater good if I get moments to run away into the kitchen. Simple white bread recipe turned into pizza with leftover red pepper, lentil and tomato soup. Toby's idea to make them all sizes. (Recipe in the Kitchen Club - link in bio). Hope you've all survived today in your own ways! Big love to everyone out there tonight 😘

New Year is traditionally a time when we start wit

New Year is traditionally a time when we start with new resolutions. Ideas of things we'd like to change and improve. Goals we'd like to set. With this in mind, it's worth remembering that it's the tiny changes to mindset and daily processes which make all the difference. The goals are great to have, but think about the process of how you are going to put it into action so that it creates a habit rather than a yo-yo of behaviours. One small positive step in the right direction will slowly (but surely) get you to the critical threshold where a new process turns into a habit, which becomes part of you and your identity.

So, if this year, you'd like to eat more healthily, then the goal is not to eat more healthily, the goal is to become a healthful eater. Think of the processes you need to do in order to achieve this, become it, own it and the rest (weight loss, feeling better, more motivation, feedback from others etc) will follow. If you'd like to discuss how to smash your goals for 2021 in detail, then just give me a shout and we can book in a call.

A very Happy New Year to you all! What a year it's

If you want to celebrate this New Year but will be

If you want to celebrate this New Year but will be stuck at home (ummmm, think that's all of us 😉), then why not cook a whole duck. For a 1.8kg bird, pop on a roasting tray with a rack (to drain the fat), with a drizzle of rapeseed oil, pinch of salt and good grind of pepper. I like to put some sprigs of rosemary and thyme in the cavity too. Put it in a high oven at 220 degrees to crisp the skin, and then turn down to 160 degrees for 2.5 hours. You can tell it's cooked when the leg pulls away from the bird. Take the fat off the juices and serve as gravy.

You'll be amazed how quickly it disappears. This one fed me and Jase and the 3 kids... just!

Getting outside for a hot winter picnic. For spag Bol, curries and rice, or casserole and jackets, I get it ready just before I leave the house so it's hot and no need to faff with cooking equipment. Pop in tuppawares and into a chilli bin minus the cold pack.

Top tips:
1️⃣ Keep it upright - spillages aren't fun
2️⃣Remember the cutlery... I use the kid's plastic stuff
3️⃣Go anywhere

So proud of Jase who has been carefully nuturing this batch of Biltong. He's totally nailed the art of taking the haunch off the bone, seasoning and drying. This stuff is epic and the kids are like gannets! If he was on these squares I'd tag him, but he's not, so this is just a big shout out to say 👏 🇿🇦👏🇿🇦👏🇿🇦👏🇿🇦👏🇿🇦👏 😘

Always a delightful day on the 1st of every month

Always a delightful day on the 1st of every month when the Kitchen Club recipes and menu plans wing themselves to people's inboxes. This month we're focusing on Brunches and Festive Treats to keep everyone cooking confidently and healthfully through the holidays. This simple recipe of turmeric eggs, smashed avo and sundried toms was one of my faves.

Top cooking tip for today is to use Boursin instead of cream or creme fraiche to create a creamy sauce. Stir 2 tablespoons into the end of cooking and let the flavour-packed cheese melt into utter deliciousness.

Anyone else finding these early nights really hard

Anyone else finding these early nights really hard? I keep on crashing at 8:30pm! Fast asleep. Last year I did a lot of research into circadian rhythms and how when we eat affects the way our bodies grow and heal. But as much as that, our circadian rhythm in the Northern Hemisphere has to make a huge adjustment at this time of year, especially this year. So my three tops tips are:

1️⃣ Get outside when you can and make the most of the daylight hours
2️⃣ Try to make sure you have a 10-12 hour gap between when you last have a bite to eat or sip of anything but water or herbal tea. This will help weight loss and overall 'feeling good'.
3️⃣ Give in to the feeling of hibernation. Acknowledge and then get rid of the feelings of guilt for not doing anything (no FOMO this year), look after your body and enjoy the hibernation.

Look after yourselves and be kind.

If you are working at home at the moment, how abou

If you are working at home at the moment, how about cooking a roast chicken during the day and heating it up in the microwave for dinner? I cooked this this morning, and will cut it up when the kids come home, pop each plate in the microwave until piping and simply boil up some broccoli, cauliflower and beans. Any leftovers will be used in a pasta or rice sauce for tomorrow.

I pass this sign on my walk every week at the trai

I pass this sign on my walk every week at the train crossing in Staverton woods and it always catches my attention.

How often do we really Stop ✋, Look 👀 and Listen 👂? Our senses are alert when we see a sign like this and we respond by stopping, looking and listening for a train. But how often do we Stop, Look and Listen on a daily basis?

Is it stopping and listening to our bodies before eating? Or stopping, looking, listening and assesing a situation before responding? Or simply stopping, looking and listening (like reeeaaaalllly deeply actively listening - clearing your mind and using every inch of your body to focus) to family, friends and colleagues speaking? Stopping, looking and listening is something we can all benefit from. I know I certainly can and this is always a welcome reminder.

What could you Stop, Look and Listen to today?

Pastry is a great tool to have in your tool box 😉. I have 3 packs in the freezer so I can whip it out whenever I need it. It's a great little stuffer, topper or base to get you out of a trip to the shops.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here I roasted off some butternut and veggies with turmeric and other spices, added fresh herbs and feta and folded into samosa-type parcels. You cook pastry in the oven @ 180 for 30 minutes or until golden. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here are some top tips to make the most out of your pastry:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1️⃣ It likes a brush with egg or milk before it goes in the oven.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2️⃣ It likes to be kept as cool as possible before cooking. If you feel you've touched it quite alot while preparing your food or if it's hot in the kitchen, then pop it back in the fridge for 10 minutes before cooking.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3️⃣ If you are using frozen pastry, then defrost fully before using to stop it cracking.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
4️⃣ Home made pastry is lovely. Shop brought pastry is useful! I buy gluten-free puff pastry which is pretty good as far as gluten-free wannabe products go.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
5️⃣ Use a sharp knife to cut with and save any odds and ends for decorating or sprinkling with grated cheese and baking.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
