Second only to mango, watermelon would have to be my favourite fruit. You might recall reading about my love of this delightfully bright, sweet and refreshing fruit when I made this lovely watermelon granita last summer. Needless to say, when served icy cold on a hot summer’s day, I find watermelon one of life’s simple […]
Several weeks ago now I was inspired to make my own granola bars after my favourite store bought variety were out of stock for not one, but TWO weeks in a row! Given I had all the essential ingredients at home in my pantry, how hard could it be? Well, it turns out they’re […]
Has it really been two weeks since my last post?!? I can’t believe what a crazy month March has been. Did you miss me? I sure missed you guys! I suppose now is as good a time as any to share my news with you all. Earlier this month I enrolled in a postgraduate course […]

Two months and only two salads later, it’s definitely time for another salad! And this gorgeous Lentil, […]
