I've already professed my love for one vegan hotspot in St Kilda, but after a trip to Melbourne a few weeks ago to visit a friend down from Sydney, I've got a new place to add to my love-list; Sister of Soul. Their menu is entirely vegetarian, but it has an amazing selection of vegan dishes available. They even make their own house ...
Golden Banana Bread Porridge
I'm all for eating banana bread in the morning (who doesn't love cake for breakfast, am I right?) but I'm also the forever-hungry kind of girl, who needs something a little more satiating, to keep me alive until lunch time and stop me reaching for the vegemite toast at 10am. For me, a bowl of porridge is just that; warm and filling feel-good ...
Matcha Avocado Smoothie
Our first stop in Melbourne was a beautiful little apartment right in the centre of the city, living with the sweetest couple. Clearly Olivia and I babbled on way too much about how much we love matcha and avocado, because they decided to surprise us one day with this delicious matcha avocado smoothie. It's a really simple but delicious recipe, ...
Berlin in Photos: Part Two
After a surprisingly successful first journey on the U-Bahn, our second day of sightseeing in Berlin started in the best way possible - with a coffee in hand, a chunk of fresh bread and a stroll around a market. I love visiting food markets when I travel, because not only are you plied with free samples *insert heart eyes emoji* you get a ...
Tropical Granola
Trust me to pick the gloomiest day to make and photograph my tropical granola - British weather 1, Grace 0. Granola is easily my favourite way to start the day. Weekdays, anyway... don't take away my eggs Benedict/Bloody Mary just yet. There's something about oats, seeds and nuts that really sets me up for a busy day. I don't know about you ...
Cherry Chia Pudding with Pistachios
Chia pudding is one of those things I go through phases with; somedays I think it's the greatest thing since sliced bread and other days I feel it can be very 'blah.' It really depends on how much effort and thought you're willing to put into the preparation - the key to a good chia pudding is a tasty flavour base. Chia seeds, as great for you as ...
Lemon & Poppy Seed Yoghurt Pancakes
When it comes to February, some people get excited about Valentine's Day. Not me (and that's not just because I'm a bitter cat lady.) No - I save my excitement for a special day in February that is far more important. Grab the maple syrup because it's nearly Pancake Day. Don't get me wrong, I think pancakes are great, regardless of when they're ...
Pear & Ginger Porridge
I came up with this recipe as part of my food writing project on breakfast (quite possibly the best project ever) and I've finally got round to sharing it on my blog! It combines sweet shredded pear with the restorative warmth of fresh ginger, to give your morning porridge a kick. I like to top mine with pecans and a drizzle of agave. If ...
