Today we’re talking about healthy ageing with Jenni from Nettle & Rose Nutrition. “Fill in wrinkles” “smooth out skin” “dye grey hairs” “tighten” “reduce” “wear a paper bag”!!! Ok, the last one I made up, but doesn’t advertising sometimes feel like that? Ageing is a topic that riles me up, especially with so much advertising [read more]
Hi, I’m Jenni from Nettle & Rose Nutrition. I help women who are fed up with dieting; women who aren’t loving their bodies, and women who want to reignite their spark. I am fascinated by the power of food and passionate about self-care and living a mindful, healthy life. My philosophy is that everyone has [read more]
In an attempt to improve my culinary repertoire, I’m trying to cook more and experiment with new recipes. My latest effort was broccoli, spinach and stilton soup, which I thought was tasty enough to be worthy of a mention. Meal planning in advance is not something I’m great at. It’s more a case of what can [read more]
As a food blogger who writes about healthier food choices, it’s a bit weird to say but I really dislike it when people judge what I eat. It’s a bit like Hermione judging the Weasley twins for only knowing the “flashy useless magic” they use to create their joke shop. Sometimes it’s useful to know [read more]
Once again I was looking for some food inspiration so I reached for Madeline Shaw’s Get the Glow book – and with a chill in the air I decided it was a night for a warming curry. The recipe of choice this time was Madeline’s vegetarian squash curry, although I have to admit I did [read more]
After 150 years of industrial use, Kings Cross has undergone a huge redevelopment which has brought arts, culture, sporting facilities and big brand names to the area. There’s also now a plethora of places to eat and drink; making it a destination of choice for the foodie fanatic and cocktail connoisseur. So for this week’s Word of Mouth feature [read more]
Mother’s Day this year was going to be a quiet affair [given I’m 32 weeks pregnant and have a chickenpox ridden toddler] but I did have something extra special to look forward to – I was going to a supper club run by Chappell & Caldwell. Founded by St Albans resident, Ali Young, Chappell & Caldwell offers bespoke cookery lessons and private chef services [read more]
Today was a day that called for a comforting bowl of soup. I could’ve made use of my soup stash from the freezer but I had some sweet potatoes that needed using up and Jamie Oliver’s red lentil, sweet potato and coconut soup took my fancy. To make this soup you’ll need… Sweet potatoes Red [read more]
If you’d have told me a few years ago that my life would change in such a way that decluttering my spice cupboard would bring a leap of joy. Or that I would be heading out at night, not to neck a few cocktails but instead to go to mindfulness school (and before I did [read more]
In my quest to try / do something new each day, I decided that I’d really push myself today and reach for that freebie* sample of mint matcha tea that was loitering in the cupboard. Surely a win all round – not only by tantalising the taste-buds with ‘green goodness’ (according to Pukka) but by using it I was [read more]
It was one of those days where I had to be in for deliveries and visits from tradesmen so I thought I might as well make use of my self-inflicted curfew and try a few new recipes from The Art of Eating Well (by Jasmine and Melissa Hemsley). First up breakfast; when I had a [read more]
As part of my mission to reduce my food shopping spend (which too often ends up in the bin) I’m trying to use up what’s already in the cupboard. Cue the find from today’s cupboard trawl – butter beans. Throw into the mix some fridge odds and ends – an overlooked butternut squash and some tired looking [read more]
Breakfast this morning was Ella Woodward’s coconut porridge. I’ve never been much of a porridge fan but I’m loving this recipe – it’s comfort food and it keeps me from needing a mid-morning snack fix. You can find the (super simple) recipe here on the Deliciously Ella website. The ingredients you’ll need for this coconut porridge are: Oats Coconut [read more]
This cauliflower rice recipe is another favourite from Hemsley and Hemsley – The Art of Eating Well. I usually serve it up alongside a curry but you could easily throw in some other veg and make it more of a main dish. The first thing to clear up is that there’s actually no rice involved. It’s a cauliflower [read more]
