Today I am sharing my Gluten-free Vegan Chocolate Chip Banana Bread for y'all. Most recipes that I make are only ever made once, on the spur of the moment - divinely inspired in the here-and-now, never written down or even remembered. I am a plant-based retreat chef, catering for groups of between 8 and 40 [...]
Today I am sending you warm tropical breezes, writing from the Canary Islands. I am away from home on a private retreat for my own self-inspired healing.

When you get the blend of chocolate just right, then that melting bite transports you a really lovely place of bliss. Enter my homemade maca chocolate! Its culinary alchemy has the power to make being in this rather chaotic world, oh so much more divine. And let's face it, we all need some of that [...]
Breakfast, snack food, dessert, easy camping meal - maca granola has a multitude of satisfying uses! When it comes to granola I love a bit of a crunch. I love it when it sticks together so that I can reach into the jar for a cluster or two whenever that jar should catch my eye. [...]
There's nothing like a Ginger Ninja Flu Shot Juice to blast away those nasties! During the colder months, with central heating, confined spaces and less fresh air we are exposed to so many more viruses, like the flu.
