Pasta bake used to be one of those dishes I’d make if I fancied something warming, comforting and indulgent for dinner. And while I’d always enjoy it while eating it, I’d also always feel bloated, lethargic and a bit gross after eating it. But luckily for me (and now you too) it’s totally possible to have all of the yum with none of the stodge.
Whenever I go and visit my cousins in Israel, I end up on the aubergine diet. I just can’t help it – though I may flirt with hummus, falafel, israeli salad and shakshouka, if I see a menu and there’s an aubergine on it, it’s all I can think about ordering. I never seem to tire of it; the combination of fresh coriander, creamy tahini and aubergine charred on the outside and soft and fleshy on the inside is just beyond heavenly. Continue reading
Acai bowls are taking the world by storm – and for very good reason. Give me a breakfast that looks like a sorbet and tastes like a sorbet, but is actually amazingly good for you and well, I’m sold. I’ll admit that here at D&H we are perhaps a little late to the acai bowl party as it seems people have been going mad for these for some time now, but we’re definitely making up for lost time!
A couple of years ago I was lucky enough to travel to India with Mr H for a couple of weeks. I can truly say that I have never been to such an incredible, eye-opening and fascinating country – from the second we stepped off the plane (in fact even before we landed, as we saw the rows and rows of slums that lined the airport fences) it was clear that this was going to be no ordinary holiday.
When it’s chilly outside, I always need something warming to stoke up my little fire in the mornings and keep me going until lunchtime (ok until elevenses maybe). I’m a massive porridge lover, but sometimes it’s nice to spice things up a bit and make something a little different. Continue reading
I love a good old green juice in the mornings, but sometimes I need a little indulgence in my life (usually on a Friday, but Monday to Thursday work well too). And what could be more indulgent than a banoffee ‘milk’shake! Continue reading
Christmas is a time for deliciousness. There’s just no doubt about it. And (contrary to what some people might think) that doesn’t stop if you’re vegan, plant-based, raw, paleo, or whatever you might be, if you’re healthy then Christmas can be just as delicious for you too. Continue reading
It’s Hanukkah this week, so to celebrate I wanted to make a recipe for guilt-free donuts. It might seem a little random but there is a reason behind it – the Hanukkah story talks of the miracle of the oil, whereby oil that would have only kept a special lamp alight for one day actually lasted eight days – and because of this it’s traditional to eat foods cooked in oil, like donuts or potato latkes.I’ve used a little coconut oil in these as a nod to tradition but unlike normal donuts these are baked (not fried) which makes them heaps healthier but just as yummy! Continue reading
It’s December, so Christmas is officially a-coming! Whilst I still have a LOT of Christmas/Hanukkah shopping to do (thank goodness for Amazon Prime hey), when it comes to festive recipes I seem to be pretty organised this year. I can’t wait to share them all with you! Continue reading
I love making my own almond milk – it’s ridiculously cheap, so tasty, super easy and gives me the peace of mind that I know exactly what has gone in to the milk I’m pouring into my morning porridge or afternoon matcha latte. I used to feel a bit wasteful though throwing away all that almond pulp that gets left in the strainer, so I started thinking about what I could use it for. Continue reading
