I’ve learnt not long ago, that pumpkin and sage can be paired very well. It’s very handy to know, because it works in soup too, which means coconut milk isn’t needed (well, it doesn’t work well with sage in my view). So the Vegan Pumpkin Soup (Without Coconut Milk) becomes a very earthy and rich in texture meal without it. It’s definitely a lovely way and because I often use coconut milk and can get bored of the taste – it’s also a refreshingly different version for me. Also, if you don’t have coconut milk at home – go for …

London Wetland Centre Visit – What to Expect
9 minutes read
I actually should have wrote this up ages ago as we are frequent visitors at the London Wetland Centre. (It’s literally down the street from Grandma’s house in Barnes!) We love visiting in summer the most, but autumn and spring is equally lovely and although we haven’t been in winter yet, I imagine winter-time is also worth a visit.

For us, it’s wonderful being surrounded by nature and in the middle of …

From the increasing amounts of waste in landfills to the melting polar ice caps, it’s clear that our planet is facing serious challenges.

Valentine’s Day is fast approaching and I don’t know about you, but we normally don’t celebrate the occasion by going out or buying anything special for each other. A box of chocolate, a nice dinner at home and some wine has been our Valentine’s Day treat for years. I (or my husband) normally cook something fancy we don’t have every day and it’s a real treat for both is us, like French onion soup. Then grab some wine a box of nice chocolate and settle down on the couch to watch a good film after the children’s gone to bed. …
Gifted items. Autumn Salads! Ahh my favourites. Technically, they are not exactly salads in my view because when it’s practically a cooked dish and or smothered in mayo-like sauces, it isn’t a real salad for me. Nevertheless, let’s call it a salad! This Butternut Squash, Tenderstem Broccoli and Pearl Barley Salad can be a main dish, a side dish and can be served hot or cold – it’s delicious either way. I have teamed up with Andalucian Olives for this recipe – for this recipe I used their: 500ml Green Gourmet Polyphenol Rich Unfiltered Extra Virgin Olive Oil Premium Organic …
