IkigaiĀ Ā No, itās not the contact details of that oddly-smelling dude from the bar last weekend who you assured youād text after one too many cocktails. (iki-guy, get it? ….). I recently stumbled upon this picture of a venn diagram centred around the word ‘ikigai’ in an article on elephantjournal.com,Ā and through a bit more research, was truly uplifted by what I read. āIkigaiā is a Japanese word which translates to āthe reason for beingā or a āreason to wake up…

Pineapple is delicious, in cocktails, in salads, in smoothies and on it’s own. Ā Pineapple is especially good in savoury dishes where it balances perfectly with salty and creamy flavours.

These muffins have no cholesterol, no added fats, and no refined white sugar (as the muffins you buy in coffee shops do). Not to mention they are packed with fibre, potassium from both the bananas and walnuts. Along…

It’s brilliant because it means anytime I’m roasting potatoes or cooking anything really I can run outside a cut off some fresh thyme! Herbs add so much flavour to cooking (vegan or not). There was an abundance of mushrooms in my fridge this week,…
