I’m not the world’s best photographer (I must get round to reading my ‘Food Photography for Bloggers’ books), so you’ll just have to take my word for it that these potato wedges taste better than they look. Usually, I just boil new potatoes or heat up some chips, but IContinue Reading
Raw food has always intrigued me. I’m a firm believer that the healthiest diet you could have is a raw one. A few years ago, I was going to go on a month-long raw food challenge and bought a couple of books on Amazon, but the recipes either looked fiddlyContinue Reading
I’d run out of fruit to make my usual breakfast smoothie with this morning, so I had a bowl of Jordan’s Super Fruity Granola instead. And, you know what? I’m so glad I did. It was crispy, crunchy, light and delicious and the raspberries, redcurrants, and pomegranate gave it aContinue Reading
