We got home this afternoon, from a rather overcast and chilly Mallorca, to find that London was in full summer rapture! A joyfully happy and sunny day 😊☀️😊☀️😊 . 🍤🍋🌱 I made a quick prawn and baby tomato pasta for supper, with lots of garlic, freshly squeezed lemon juice, butter and a little white wine. With a fresh lambs lettuce and dill salad on the side, we could still be on holiday 😊 Just with a bit more sun 😂 . . I can report that despite the slightly less summery weather in Mallorca, I managed to get into, and swim, in an unheated outdoor pool. Those who know me will know that this is as rare as spotting an ostrich nesting in Picadilly Circus. Honestly. UNHEARD of. But it felt AMAZING 😁❄️🥶😀 I could actually feel the warmth of my inner body radiating out to warm my outer body. And tingle! Epic. Loved it. Will quite possibly never do it again. But I really hope I do 🤣 . #notreallyawaterbaby #proudaspunch #proudofmyself #mindovermatter #itwasbloodyfreezing

☀️ The kids are away with their grandparents, the sun is out, and @instapearson and I are having a lovely time mooching quietly around London. This afternoon I made sticky, gluten free, dark chocolate brownies studded with walnut pieces, and served them on top of a bowl of raspberry milk kefir. So delicious 😋 I used ground almonds instead of flour, and I can report that they are extremely moreish! . In one of my favourite hand thrown ceramic bowls 💕 . . EDIT TO INCLUDE RECIPE 😊 225 grams dark chocolate 225 grams butter 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 150 grams caster sugar 3 large eggs (beaten) 150 grams ground almonds 100 grams chopped walnuts . 🍫 Melt butter and chocolate over a low heat 🍫 Take off heat and add sugar and vanilla 🍫 When dissolved add almonds, and walnuts 🍫 Bake 170 for 25-30 minutes 🍫 Makes around 16 (I made a third of the recipe so I wouldn’t be tempted to eat the lot!) . #chocolate #brownies #chocolatebrownies #darkchocolate #glutenfree #groundalmonds #walnut #kefir #milkkefir #raspberry #raspberries #staycation #afternoontreat #sun #london #recipe

💕Blueberry ripple kefir 💕 . Over some months I have perfected my milk kefir brewing. I now find it completely addictive, and not in the least bit gone-off-milk-like - which was all I could taste for the first few months🥺😊 . I use @abelandcole yellow top Guernsey whole milk, and when it starts to separate I strain, and add a handful of berries and a teaspoon of local raw honey (which I’m taking twice a day in the hope that my hay fever symptoms might not be as bad this year...) . #milkkefir #kefir #fermentation #fermenting #ferment #happygut #happytummy #guthealth #microbiome #bacteria #health #healthyeating #raw #rawhoney #hayfever #guernsey #goldtop

💥Better than coffee 😊 . I’m craving green juice at the moment. This one turned out to be the perfect blend of bitter, savoury, sharp and sweet. . I have a wonderful slow juicer from @omegajuicing - I wasn’t sure if the expense would be justified but I’ve consistently used it over the years. And I haven’t (yet!) managed to blown it up, like my last Sage one...😖😂 . 🍃50g red chard . 🍃15g sorrell 🍃Half bulb fennel . 🍃1 head of chicory . 🍃Half cucumber 🍃1 pear 🍃Thumb of ginger . 🍃1 large lemon . #greenjuice #organic #freshfood #vegetables #plantbased #plantlove #herbs #bitter #digestive #guthealth #betterthancoffee #slowjuicer #health #vitality #breakfast #juice #plantmedicine #joy #wakeup #sorrell #fennel #chard #cucumber #pear #lemon #ginger #medicine #digestivehealth #microbiome #coldpressedjuice

I made this vase for a friend, but I took a quick picture before it left the house 😊 . I love the soft blue lines and the organic shape of the pot itself. One of the best things throwing pots has taught me is to embrace imperfection. Still an ongoing process but I’m slowly (veeeeeery slowly!) getting better at it. . #handmade #craft #pottery #ceramics #hobby #glaze #handthrown #clay #wheelthrowing #wheelthrown #joy #imperfection #organic #handcrafted #handcraft #madebyhands #earth #nature

🌱 As easy (but seriously delicious) desserts go, this one is right up there. Medjool dates filled with almond butter, and scattered with pomegranate seeds and fresh tarragon leaves. Tarragon, almond butter, dates?! You’ll have to try it to believe it but - yum. The tarragon adds an amazing high note of flavour 🌱 I highly recommend either as a quick sweet-treat or a simple dessert after supper. . #dessert #easydessert #medjooldates #dates #tarragon #pomegranate #almondbutter #simple #pudding #sweet #quicksnack #easysnack #naturescandy #nuts #almond #protein #herb #delicious #plantbased #natural #organic #healthyfood #healthyeating #afterdinner #homemade #handmade #instafood #goodfood #joyful #flavour

Large ice cubes maketh the drink 😊💕 . Angostura bitters, tonic, fresh raspberries, and a squeeze of fresh lime. With a couple of icebergs.

🙏🏼 I made myself a super strength green juice, to power me up before embarking on this pile of reading...one final essay to write 😊⚡️ .

🔥 Fire Brew 🔥 Fire Brew is an old folk remedy that boosts the immune system and stimulates the circulation. I first came across it in Oregon a few years ago, and have been craving it ever since. It’s a mix of medicinal plants, steeped in apple cider vinegar, and finished with raw honey. . . I decided to try and make some today. Crossing fingers it turns out well 🤞 . . It can be made with a variety of different plants. This one includes the following organic ingredients: 🔥Onion 🔥Spring onion 🔥Garlic . 🔥Horseradish root 🔥Ginger root 🔥Turmeric root 🔥Habanero chillis . 🔥Rosemary 🔥Thyme 🔥Lemon 🔥Blood orange . 🔥Apple 🔥Black peppercorns . 🔥Raw Apple Cider Vinegar (with the mother) 🔥Raw honey . . To say I’m excited about the result is an understatement 😆 . . #medicinalherbs #herbalmedicine #elixir #health #guthealth #immunehealth #organic #medicinal #herbs

❤️ I was lucky enough to be able to share breakfast with a wonderful friend on Sunday. Sometimes you meet people and you know that for whatever reason, your paths were meant to cross. We had the best time catching up 😊 . In my search for life-joy, friends and family are definitely where it’s at 💕 . Plain yoghurt, topped with berries, stewed apple with goji berries, and ginger and cacao muesli. We then topped it with some left over mango cashew cream from dinner the night before (thank you @hemsleyhemsley @jasminehemsley for the recipe. It is ADDICTIVE 😊 So addictive I made double quantities so I could eat it all week!) . #breakfast #berries #cashewcream #mango #muesli #ginger #cacao #pomegranate #friendship #happy #joy #yoghurt #happy #happiness #family #friends #fate #lucky #grateful

🌱This is what happens when you cook mountains of Ottolenghi food for friends at the weekend, and you still have a few ‘adorning’ bits left in the fridge (aka mounds of herbs and pomegranate seeds)… . I’m not normally very adventurous on a Monday night. Normally it’s a fridge-veg-pasta type of night (grate all the remaining veg in the fridge into a pan, cook it with tinned tomatoes and have it with spelt pasta). Instead, I decided to make these sweet potato wedges with ground coriander; with tarragon and barberry rice; and smoky chickpeas with pomegranate seeds. I also made a really delicious citrus creme fraiche dressing to go with the sweet potato. . Ottolenghi coming up trumps AGAIN. The sweet potato and citrus dressing is in the Jerusalem book. And the rice was a take on the delicious saffron, barberries, pistachio and mixed herb rice from the same book. . I now need to go and lie down like a lion, and digest. If lions ate sweet potatoes that is… . #ottolenghi @ottolenghi #jerusalem #sweetpotato #chickpea #rice #barberry #coriander #tarragon #pomegranate #delicious

🍓Homemade strawberry and raspberry kefir with ginger and cacao muesli . Milk kefir, second fermented with a few strawberries and raspberries, topped with the most delicious ginger and cacao muesli, loosely based on a @mynewroots recipe. . My kefir is on daily rotation, and the muesli on a weekly one...when I like something and can feel it doing me good I rinse and repeat (until I get bored of it or sidetracked by something else!) . #kefir #breakfast #fruit #quickbreakfast #raspberry #strawberry #muesli #happy #rinseandrepeat
