🍄 How do you feel about mushrooms? 🍄

They are great for you and I'm often asked by clients how to eat more of them. So here are my top 5 tips:

🍄 Slice them into halve or add whole to roasted vegetables.

🍄 Make a super mushroomy feast of a sauce for rice, pasta or risotto using 3-4 different types of mushrooms (dried porcini, shiitake, chestnut and Portobello).

Add 300ml boiled water to the dried porcini and leave the stand for 30 minutes. Then drain (keeping the water) and chop up the now hydrated mushrooms. Then add the mushroom water to a sauce and add a dash of cream or Boursin.

🍄 Slice button mushrooms finely and add raw to vegetable salads and slaws.

🍄 Pop a Portobello (or field mushroom) in the microwave with a knob of butter, garlic and chives or thyme. Cover with clingfilm and cook for 3 minutes. Beautiful...

🍄 Chop really finely (like as tinsy-tiny as you can get) and add to meat sauces such as Bolognaise, beef casserole, chilli's, chicken casseroles etc for a hearty deep flavour.

Whether you love mushrooms or would simply like to eat more of them to reap their health benefits, I hope the tips above help you. If you'd like to know more about how to make healthy changes to the way you eat, get in touch today!

This is always lovely to hear! Especially as I embark on this week going in to the 23rd month of writing recipes for the Kitchen Club (soon to be called the Cook Well, Eat Well, Live Well Membership but more on that in another post!)

Every month I think, can I really come up with something new? And then the magic happens... I step in to the kitchen for 2 days with ingredients and a rough plan of what to create. I get in the zone and somehow the creativity flows through my hands and we have 6 new and shiny recipes!

Every month we also step back to look at older recipes too and I highlight 3 each week so that the inspiration is kept alive for my members who always have something tasty, achievable and family friendly to cook.

If you too are looking for recipes that are full of flavour that you can trust, let's chat! I'd love to help you too.

If you love cheese and you want to live a more hea

If you love cheese and you want to live a more healthful life without feeling deprived, how about swapping your standard mature cheddar for mozzarella, goats cheese, feta or blue cheese?

I love cheese and enjoy eating and cooking with it, however some of the harder cheeses although delicious aren't necessarily great for our bodies.

Mozzarella, goats cheese, feta and blue cheese however, are good for adding creaminess and a salty flavour to a meal as well as a boost of calcium. Win win!

Simply slice or crumble them over salads, roasted vegetables or lentils before or after cooking to add flavour, texture and calcium to your meal.

If you're interested in learning more about healthful swaps, get in touch today to understand how. X

✨✨✨THIS BOOK!!! ✨✨✨ So incredibly prou

✨✨✨THIS BOOK!!! ✨✨✨ So incredibly proud to see SuperDaisy in publication. Written by @rebeccacsmithwriter it's inspired by a true story of a friend of mine's little girl, whose courageous fight with cancer was also the inspiration of the 'Dizzle' part of DizzleSky, being Daisy's nickname.

'In her superhero disguise, Daisy is able to shake off her worries about being unwell and embrace a freer world - and become the superhero that she really is.'

All profits from the sale of the book go to @officiallittleprincesstrust and join Daisy in her fight against childhood cancer. 👏👏👏

So much love for this book and for Daisy and her family 💕💕💕.

Daisy has been such a pivotal figure in my drive and ambition for DizzleSky, for people to essentially live well, that I can't tell you how amazing this is to see her heroism in print. You can see the story of the DizzleSky name in a video in a link in my bio.

A huge 3 cheers to @rebeccacsmithwriter for writing it (who is also a really good friend of my friend and was so inspired by Daisy that she wrote a book to inspire others... how cool is that!), to @zoemop for her beautiful illustrations and to @harpercollinssch for publishing it. And of course to Daisy 💛💛💛 ✨✨✨✨ I can't wait to read it when it arrives.

Get your preordered copy now at Waterstones and available in print on 28th April. Link in bio.

When you are time and energy poor, how do you solv

When you are time and energy poor, how do you solve getting more vegetables and fruit into your diet?

My top tip is to use the 'quick' fix methods of blitzing or grating. Blitzing a mix of fruit and vegetables is super quick and easy and means that you get the daily 'fix' without it taking more than 5 minutes.

This one I call the 'Kick-start-me Smoothie' as it does exactly that. It kicks you out of just thinking about processed food and starts you thinking about fresh ingredients again... Especially great in National Obesity Awareness Week.

Tell me what your favourite smoothie blend is? I'd love to hear.

Thanks to @katedimmernutrition for pointing out that half your juicy cooking inspiration is missing!

Watch the video to find out what I brought home from @riverford today and what I'm planning on doing with it all.

Hope it helps break the groundhog day of cooking for your family this week or click save to stop the 'mind blank' of what to cook in the future.

Changing our lifestyles can seems daunting, overwh

Changing our lifestyles can seems daunting, overwhelming and impossible. Even though we know what we really, really want it can seem like someone else's dream.

However, you'll be pleased to know it's a science. A process. And if you trust in the process, you too can lead the life you want (and so deserve!)

With my help, we can work together to see exactly what that 'dream' is, and then reverse engineer it to make it happen. By supporting (and challenging you) we'll unplug your blocks and make the impossible possible.

If Neil Armstrong could get to the moon, you too can totally reach what you set your mind to. Like Neil with his team at NASA, you might just need a team working alongside you to help get you there.

If you feel you are stuck simply dreaming of how you'd like your life to be, get in touch as I'd love to help you make it your reality.

I understand that not everyone is able to grow their own, but if you can, there is something so humbling about it.

It doesn't need to be a massive schlep... you don't need to have a small holding, zoo or huge vegetable patch... just a simple few veggies, herbs or a chicken or two can make all the difference.

Follow me to continue learning more about how to lead an effortless homegrown life throughout the year. I don't spend hours out in the garden, or with the chickens.

You can make it as simple and hassle-free as you like so it fits in to your daily life.

As parents, it's important to put our hands behind

As parents, it's important to put our hands behind our backs when our children are 'helping' us cook, and just to let them get on with it.

Yes, the food doesn't turn out as expected.

Yes, the kitchen is a mess.

But yes, they are learning working out how to crack an egg, sift dry ingredients and add flour to creamed sugar and butter slowly.

And with this, your children's curiosity for the kitchen will grow with them.

They'll know what's in food, and know that meals are made from ingredients not brought ready-made in plastic.

Remember, we are not striving for perfection when we cook with our children. It doesn't have to be the best meal we've ever tasted.

It's about investing in the messiness now for the 'experience' and associated memories they'll have of cooking in the future (smells, tastes, music in the background, having a job to do, getting involved)... this is what to focus on.

If in doubt, literally put your hands in your pockets (but be ready to dive in to avert serious disaster!) 💫

New gravy recipe on the go while I'm waiting for t

New gravy recipe on the go while I'm waiting for the Yorkshire puds to rise as the kids fancied a full on roast dinner.

I'm not one to normally make a traditional gravy as I just use the juices from the pan, but I'm currently drinking this one from @mrsvikkitoria like soup as it's so divine!

1 teaspoon oil
1 onion, peeled and sliced
1 celery stick, finely diced
1 clove of garlic, peeled and crushed
1 teaspoon cornflour mixed with 1 teaspoon cold water
300ml water
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon marmite
1 teaspoon vegetable bouillon
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Juices of roast chicken

Place the onion, garlic and celery in a sauce pan with the oil over a medium heat. Sautee for 20 minutes until brown.

Add the cornflour paste and stir. Add the water bit by bit, stirring until it's thick.

Add the other ingredients and then blitz with a hand blender until smooth.

No need to reach for the bisto ever again.... annnnddd, you got some added veggies in there 🙃

Happy weekend folks!

📣 Announcement 📣 As my business evolves it's clear that 'life' is really the big part of what I help people with!

And so as an accredited Coach & Mentor I'm going to be focusing these little squares, my newsletters, my 1:1's and my membership as much on 'living your best life' and helping you as a 'Life Coach' as I do on cooking.

This has been a natural process as 'life' really is what I help people with and it feels amazing to be able to open up my arms and expand my offering.

🍄 How do you feel about mushrooms? 🍄

They are great for you and I'm often asked by clients how to eat more of them. So here are my top 5 tips:

🍄 Slice them into halve or add whole to roasted vegetables.

🍄 Make a super mushroomy feast of a sauce for rice, pasta or risotto using 3-4 different types of mushrooms (dried porcini, shiitake, chestnut and Portobello).

Add 300ml boiled water to the dried porcini and leave the stand for 30 minutes. Then drain (keeping the water) and chop up the now hydrated mushrooms. Then add the mushroom water to a sauce and add a dash of cream or Boursin.

🍄 Slice button mushrooms finely and add raw to vegetable salads and slaws.

🍄 Pop a Portobello (or field mushroom) in the microwave with a knob of butter, garlic and chives or thyme. Cover with clingfilm and cook for 3 minutes. Beautiful...

🍄 Chop really finely (like as tinsy-tiny as you can get) and add to meat sauces such as Bolognaise, beef casserole, chilli's, chicken casseroles etc for a hearty deep flavour.

Whether you love mushrooms or would simply like to eat more of them to reap their health benefits, I hope the tips above help you. If you'd like to know more about how to make healthy changes to the way you eat, get in touch today!

This is always lovely to hear! Especially as I embark on this week going in to the 23rd month of writing recipes for the Kitchen Club (soon to be called the Cook Well, Eat Well, Live Well Membership but more on that in another post!)

Every month I think, can I really come up with something new? And then the magic happens... I step in to the kitchen for 2 days with ingredients and a rough plan of what to create. I get in the zone and somehow the creativity flows through my hands and we have 6 new and shiny recipes!

Every month we also step back to look at older recipes too and I highlight 3 each week so that the inspiration is kept alive for my members who always have something tasty, achievable and family friendly to cook.

If you too are looking for recipes that are full of flavour that you can trust, let's chat! I'd love to help you too.

If you love cheese and you want to live a more hea

If you love cheese and you want to live a more healthful life without feeling deprived, how about swapping your standard mature cheddar for mozzarella, goats cheese, feta or blue cheese?

I love cheese and enjoy eating and cooking with it, however some of the harder cheeses although delicious aren't necessarily great for our bodies.

Mozzarella, goats cheese, feta and blue cheese however, are good for adding creaminess and a salty flavour to a meal as well as a boost of calcium. Win win!

Simply slice or crumble them over salads, roasted vegetables or lentils before or after cooking to add flavour, texture and calcium to your meal.

If you're interested in learning more about healthful swaps, get in touch today to understand how. X

✨✨✨THIS BOOK!!! ✨✨✨ So incredibly prou

✨✨✨THIS BOOK!!! ✨✨✨ So incredibly proud to see SuperDaisy in publication. Written by @rebeccacsmithwriter it's inspired by a true story of a friend of mine's little girl, whose courageous fight with cancer was also the inspiration of the 'Dizzle' part of DizzleSky, being Daisy's nickname.

'In her superhero disguise, Daisy is able to shake off her worries about being unwell and embrace a freer world - and become the superhero that she really is.'

All profits from the sale of the book go to @officiallittleprincesstrust and join Daisy in her fight against childhood cancer. 👏👏👏

So much love for this book and for Daisy and her family 💕💕💕.

Daisy has been such a pivotal figure in my drive and ambition for DizzleSky, for people to essentially live well, that I can't tell you how amazing this is to see her heroism in print. You can see the story of the DizzleSky name in a video in a link in my bio.

A huge 3 cheers to @rebeccacsmithwriter for writing it (who is also a really good friend of my friend and was so inspired by Daisy that she wrote a book to inspire others... how cool is that!), to @zoemop for her beautiful illustrations and to @harpercollinssch for publishing it. And of course to Daisy 💛💛💛 ✨✨✨✨ I can't wait to read it when it arrives.

Get your preordered copy now at Waterstones and available in print on 28th April. Link in bio.

When you are time and energy poor, how do you solv

When you are time and energy poor, how do you solve getting more vegetables and fruit into your diet?

My top tip is to use the 'quick' fix methods of blitzing or grating. Blitzing a mix of fruit and vegetables is super quick and easy and means that you get the daily 'fix' without it taking more than 5 minutes.

This one I call the 'Kick-start-me Smoothie' as it does exactly that. It kicks you out of just thinking about processed food and starts you thinking about fresh ingredients again... Especially great in National Obesity Awareness Week.

Tell me what your favourite smoothie blend is? I'd love to hear.

Changing our lifestyles can seems daunting, overwh

Changing our lifestyles can seems daunting, overwhelming and impossible. Even though we know what we really, really want it can seem like someone else's dream.

However, you'll be pleased to know it's a science. A process. And if you trust in the process, you too can lead the life you want (and so deserve!)

With my help, we can work together to see exactly what that 'dream' is, and then reverse engineer it to make it happen. By supporting (and challenging you) we'll unplug your blocks and make the impossible possible.

If Neil Armstrong could get to the moon, you too can totally reach what you set your mind to. Like Neil with his team at NASA, you might just need a team working alongside you to help get you there.

If you feel you are stuck simply dreaming of how you'd like your life to be, get in touch as I'd love to help you make it your reality.

I understand that not everyone is able to grow their own, but if you can, there is something so humbling about it.

It doesn't need to be a massive schlep... you don't need to have a small holding, zoo or huge vegetable patch... just a simple few veggies, herbs or a chicken or two can make all the difference.

Follow me to continue learning more about how to lead an effortless homegrown life throughout the year. I don't spend hours out in the garden, or with the chickens.

You can make it as simple and hassle-free as you like so it fits in to your daily life.

As parents, it's important to put our hands behind

As parents, it's important to put our hands behind our backs when our children are 'helping' us cook, and just to let them get on with it.

Yes, the food doesn't turn out as expected.

Yes, the kitchen is a mess.

But yes, they are learning working out how to crack an egg, sift dry ingredients and add flour to creamed sugar and butter slowly.

And with this, your children's curiosity for the kitchen will grow with them.

They'll know what's in food, and know that meals are made from ingredients not brought ready-made in plastic.

Remember, we are not striving for perfection when we cook with our children. It doesn't have to be the best meal we've ever tasted.

It's about investing in the messiness now for the 'experience' and associated memories they'll have of cooking in the future (smells, tastes, music in the background, having a job to do, getting involved)... this is what to focus on.

If in doubt, literally put your hands in your pockets (but be ready to dive in to avert serious disaster!) 💫

New gravy recipe on the go while I'm waiting for t

New gravy recipe on the go while I'm waiting for the Yorkshire puds to rise as the kids fancied a full on roast dinner.

I'm not one to normally make a traditional gravy as I just use the juices from the pan, but I'm currently drinking this one from @mrsvikkitoria like soup as it's so divine!

1 teaspoon oil
1 onion, peeled and sliced
1 celery stick, finely diced
1 clove of garlic, peeled and crushed
1 teaspoon cornflour mixed with 1 teaspoon cold water
300ml water
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon marmite
1 teaspoon vegetable bouillon
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Juices of roast chicken

Place the onion, garlic and celery in a sauce pan with the oil over a medium heat. Sautee for 20 minutes until brown.

Add the cornflour paste and stir. Add the water bit by bit, stirring until it's thick.

Add the other ingredients and then blitz with a hand blender until smooth.

No need to reach for the bisto ever again.... annnnddd, you got some added veggies in there 🙃

Happy weekend folks!

How many cook books do you have on your shelf that

How many cook books do you have on your shelf that you never use? I confess, I have loads!

But there are a few which I use all the time, whether it's for their recipes or for their knowledge on food and nutrition, and today I wanted to share these with you.

Because I believe knowledge is power. The more informed you are, the better conscious decisions you can make.

So here are my top 3 for cooking and eating well:

1. The Medicinal Chef @themedicinalchef... a super informative book about ingredients, what's good for what parts of your body, what to eat more of and some delicious super easy recipes.

2. Eat Better Forever is @hughfearnleywhittingstall new book which is AMAZING and I highly recommend you getting if you are serious about making changes to the way you cook and eat.

I've been following Hugh's healthy journey since he made BBC's Britain's Fat Fight and joined him at City Hall back in 2019 for the Veg Power Summit. This book is so spot on and has brilliant knowledge from the top people in the game such as @tim.spector. The only thing it's missing is Cooking Types!

3. Persiana by @sabrinaghayour... I still love this book as the flavours are so wonderful. The honesty of Persian cooking is pure, there's not lots of cream or butter or wheat or processed foods. Think lots of whole foods and beautiful spices and colours. Definitely one to add to the book shelf if you haven't already got it.

What top three would you suggest reading to improve your health through cooking and eating?

If you follow me, you might be interested in cooking and eating better? And sometimes it's helpful to actually point it out and say how I can help you!

Over the years, I have been tweaking how I can help you BEST as you and your healthy cooking transformation is at the heart of everything I do.

And so I have created a simple 4 step plan for you to be able to reach those healthy cooking and eating goals that you SO deserve.

You really can do this... whether you feel you are a terrible cook, have never been taught to cook, think you're just not destined to be healthy or feel anxious, overwhelmed, confused, deflated, frustrated, too fat, too thin, too busy, too poor, or too engrained in bad habits.

Whoever you are and whatever your background, I can help!

That is completely the point of what I do. I look at the real you and we work with your strengths (I promise, you have loads, and it's really easy to identify them) so that you can cook brilliantly and effortlessly for life.

1. Follow me here for support, inspirations and practical cooking, eating and mindset tips. (Send me a DM if you like... I love to chat and am very happy to answer your questions. No question is silly I promise!)

2. Download my FREE guide to Recipes for your Cooking Type (link in bio) This is going to be BIG in the future... but for now, download it for free here and find out how to cook best for YOU! Cooking is unique, and here you'll find out how you should cook according to your Personality Type.

3. Become a Kitchen Clubber in my DizzleSky Kitchen Club membership. This is where you really start to transform into the cook you've always dreamed of being....

4. Work with me 1:1 for 6 months and together we will transform your cooking and eating beliefs for life. After these sessions you will confidently know how to cook and be setting yourself new goals that are in your wildest dreams right now. But you'll be at the point where they seem 100% achievable.

All the information is on my website www.dizzlesky.co.uk and in the links in my bio, or DM me if you want to know more.

Merry Christmas to you!!! Thank you for all of you

Merry Christmas to you!!! Thank you for all of your support for DizzleSky this year... for the Kitchen Clubbers, the newsletter readers and you gorgeous followers. It's been quite a year and I feel we are just getting started! 💫💫💫

No kidding... utterly terrified. Despite calls bac

No kidding... utterly terrified. Despite calls back and forth with Mum, I still couldn't work out which was the neck and which was the main cavity and therefore which one to stuff.

It turns out now, I stuff both, making sure there is plenty of room for air to circulate so both the sausage meat and the turkey can cook through.

And I've learnt (thank god!) that you really shouldn't have a raw turkey on your kitchen sink (I'm pleased to say no one was poisoned that year but it could have gone either way looking at this photo.)

And that you can replace breadcrumbs with oats and loads of sage and all spice for a delicious stuffing.

And to smear it with butter so that it's all crispy and incredible, and then cover it with foil for the last few hours to keep the meat moist.

Oh, all the things I wish I could have told this 18 year old self... these are the things I've remembered... engrained in my memory and my cooking.
They are the real-life building blocks you pick up along the way in kitchens and private homes and as a Mum.

It's all of this that I love helping my Kitchen Club members with. If you too want to feel confident and in control when you cook Christmas dinner (for me in control is a nice safe away from fear of the unknown and how something will turn out) then head to the link in my bio to find out more.

Overwhelm is a word that I wouldn't have used back

Overwhelm is a word that I wouldn't have used back in 2018, but now, I have to admit, I feel it weekly... sometimes daily.

Today I'd love to share with you one of the tools I use when I feel like there is too much going on.

Too many plates to spin. Too many urgent needs to prioritise. Too many fires to keep burning. 🔥

I get a pen and paper out and I draw a circle. I then write a list of the 6-10 things which I feel overwhelmed by.

I give them all a slice of the circle, depending on their priority and/or how much attention I need/want to give them.

By objectively sorting out overwhelm in this way, I get visual clarity on what actually needs to be prioritised. What I find is that...

🎄 The cooking suddenly seem less important than spending time with family.

🎄 Having fun, taking time out and being with the family seems to be the one to focus on this year.

🎄 Wrapping presents suddenly seem less daunting.

🎄I realised I can delegate some of the shopping.

Getting perspective in our minds is such a positive tool.

Stand back and observe so that you can refocus and concentrate on the things that you really want to make time for this Christmas, rather than feeling overwhelmed by those tasks which might not seem so important in reality.

I hope the Christmas wheel helps you priorotise what's most important to you this Christmas.

This quote from Barak... one of my most favourite

This quote from Barak... one of my most favourite quotes I've ever heard. How often do we look around waiting for things to change? How often do we think I'll be happy when I get (fill in the blank)?

But you know what. He was SO right when he said this. We are the ones who can change. We are the ones we are waiting for.

It's such a powerful message to know that, yes, we can reach out for others to help us, but actually we ourselves have it in us to make the changes.

Have you ever felt resentful on Christmas Day when

Have you ever felt resentful on Christmas Day when everyone else is enjoying time with the children, watching them open presents, enjoying glasses of bubbles and eating your food, but your stuck in the kitchen preparing, cooking, washing up, clearing, and then cooking again?

Try and get as much done in advance as possible and you'll be free to put your feet up and have as much fun as everyone else.

Personally I know that as soon as I have a glass of bubbles all concept of needing to feed everyone goes out the window so I have to get prepared otherwise we'd be eating toast for Christmas Day!

I hope these help. x
