It’s ok not to eat vegetables sometimes. I promise, you’ll live.
.
Hot salty carbs is just what I needed after my swim! 🥶
.
After 9 weeks without, it was sooooooo nice to go in the sea 💙
.
My mental health has improved by 100%!!
.
Thanks @yogainthegardenexeter and co for being my swimming buddies.

Baba ganoush recipe, as promised to some of you.
.
The step by step recipe is now on my stories if you want to give it a go. It’s super easy!
.
It’s also delicious and accidentally vegan if you care.

Don’t you colour coordinate your salads to your toe nails? You’re missing out.
.
Joke aside, this is a super quick lunch full of flavours and nutrients.
.
My clients will know that I can go on about protein a bit. I love mozzarella because isn’t a bad source of protein for vegetarian.
.
Some of you are scared of it because a quick glance a the packet and you see red and orange warnings as if to deter you from eating the stuff.
.
So let’s break it down shall we? A portion of 30g of mozzarella is 5.3g of fat and per 100g it contains 17.8g.
.
What’s so 😱😱about that?? Do you even know how many grams of fat is the recommended allowance?
.
70g. Yep, you could have the entire ball of mozzarella and you’d still be nowhere near.

In January everyone had a wheat intolerance and was allergic to gluten.
.
In May you practically have to buy flour on the black market because everybody is baking bread or banana loaves.
.
Just saying...

Cauliflower “rice”, not instead of starch but just because it makes a nice change and that it’s super easy to make.
.
I don’t have a problem with innovative ways of incorporating vegetables, if it makes you eat more of them, I’m happy.
.
I do have a problem with fakising foods (don’t look it up, it doesn’t exist yet) in a bid to somehow elevate the moral value of that food.
.
Cauliflower rice isn’t rice.
.
Cauliflower pizza is most definitely NOT pizza.
.
Zoodles aren’t noodles
.
Mushroom sausages aren’t sausages.
.
Have mushrooms, have courgettes, have cauliflower etc. but don’t make it sound like they are better or that the alternatives are somehow dirty, unhealthy and to be avoided.
.
If you’re scared of those foods or that the idea of eating something “unhealthy” or refined sends you in a panic you could be suffering from orthorexia.
.
With lockdown and a decrease in food choices, I have definitely seen a increase in orthorexic behaviours.
.
Do question your food behaviours: are you including or excluding foods?

Courgette, broad bean and ricotta fritters.
.
The sunshine got me inspired today: I wanted fresh and zingy ☀️
.
These are very easy to make and you can find a step by step recipe in my stories.
.
Fritters are a great way to introduce more vegetables in the diet of reluctant ones because it doesn’t seem so overwhelming and the texture isn’t unknown.
.
My little one vowed he wouldn’t touch them, he even warned his bother that “it’s got courgette in!” (he didn’t know about the broad beans then 😝). Yet, he ate the lot...
.
Turns out, I’m not the worst “cooker” in the world, as he sometimes claims.

Today Pierre and I baked blueberry muffins on zoom with his school friends. It could have gone either way to be honest but thankfully we all had a great time! 😅
.
My little chefs were adorable and amazing muffins were produced - very proud of them all ❤️
.
This was the perfect way to end a relatively stressful week but of course, I’m always thinking: what would you say of a cook along for grown ups?
