How to Recover from a Marathon

How to Recover from a Marathon

Well done on completing your marathon! Now comes the hard part… Recovering from a marathon can take days if you don’t do it properly – after my first, I had to wear slip on shoes until Wednesday because I couldn’t bend down to tie my laces… By my second, I’d learned a few lessons and…

Vegan Sweet Potato Brownies

Vegan Sweet Potato Brownies

  For some of us, a love of chocolate seems to be there from the moment we’re born. Bibi’s first words about three decades ago weren’t ‘vegan sweet potato brownies’ but they weren’t far off. She could barely utter ‘mama’ when she started saying ‘ickle agg, ickle agg’. ‘That’s odd,’ I said to my mum…

Samphire and Cashew Cream Flan

Samphire and Cashew Cream Flan

Samphire is my new favourite food. Official. It’s a good source of Vitamin C, so sailors used to eat it to ward off scurvy, an obscure enough reason to love any ingredient, IMHO. It’s also fresh-tasting, delicious and a great vegan source of calcium. I like the way Jane Rowney describes it in Weekend Notes:…

Maple and Pecan Protein Balls

Maple and Pecan Protein Balls

Delicious is a word often over-used by food bloggers, ourselves included, but really, these Maple and Pecan Protein Balls are the bees knees. (Question: do bees even have…

26 Ways Skiing is exactly like Training for a Marathon

26 Ways Skiing is exactly like Training for a Marathon

I just had a spectacular week skiing in the French Alps – huge amounts of food, even more exercise; the highest of highs and the lowest of lows; decked out head to toe in sportswear. And I thought, “Hold on, I’ve been here before. More than once. Skiing and training for a marathon are literally the…
