Creativity in the kitchen

My favourite place to relax and be creative is my kitchen. My cottage kitchen is not the most luxurious or high tech kitchen in the world but it has everything I need to produce healthy and tasty plant based meals.
Thank you for all the lovely comments and messages following my last IGTV cookery post. I had fun making it and have learned a lot already about ways to shoot better and that I need to be more organised.
My son has tried to convince me for many years to open a restaurant. But, I only enjoy cooking for people I like. For me it’s a way to show love and gratitude to those who mean the most to me.
Sharing my recipes and joy of cooking via IGTV should be enough to get Seb started with some basic cooking skills. I tried to teach him a new recipe every week when he lived at home but he was more interested in eating.
Crispy tofu recipe coming soon. I just need to hunt some down first!
Thank you all for your unwavering support.
Much love x

Missing donuts

I think I may be the only person who has lost weight during lockdown! No access to vegan ice cream or donuts is the secret. I LOVE donuts!

I feel like I have been prepared for this isolation for a long time. I have silver hair so no worries about colouring and a cupboard filled with nuts, seeds and pulses. Yesterday I made some coconut pancakes and shared this on my story. So many people asked for the recipe again that I will make a short IGTV with the process again soon. I get asked many times what I eat to have so much energy for my long walks.
I only eat plants and follow a whole food plant based diet. I shared a few vegan swaps for dairy on my story the other day. If you are thinking about switching to a high energy, cruelty free, vitamin packed diet, maybe start with swapping out dairy and butter. Check out a few films to get you motivated:

Forks Over Knives
What The Health?
The Game Changers

None of these films involve animal cruelty so don’t be scared to start watching. It shows how animal products can affect your health and how to improve your health by removing these products from your diet.

I feel 16 inside! My energy levels are very high and I feel fantastic. I researched the best way to improve my health almost 6 years ago and made the change after reading so many stories about energetic plant eaters. I have never looked back.
The biggest change for me is that I no longer count calories or require portion control. It’s impossible to overeat on a whole food plant based diet – just too much fibre!!! I may start sharing recipe videos via IGTV as my son loves my cooking but isn’t gifted with the joy of cooking but he does love to eat. If it’s easy to follow with a few cupboard ingredients he will give it a go. So stay tuned for more on this.
