Lemon and pistachio biscuits
Written For Sister Mag Spring Suppers feature These biscuits are very un-sweet so if have have a sweet tooth I’d suggest you use maple syrup, honey or agave syrup instead of the rice syrup. Don’t give them to chaps who like chocolate bars from the corner shop – they won’t like them!! Recipe on Lovely…

Surprise visit to Maltby Street Market
Yesterday I got a tweet from Erin saying she’s in London and did we want to meet. Well, yes of course we did, so I quickly thought of the best place to meet because we were going up to Oxfordshire for lunch and we’d only have an hour and a half or so for coffee…

Ten Belles coffee bar, Paris
Without a doubt the best coffee in Paris. We were lucky to arrive only a few days after they opened. How fortunate we were. It’s hard travelling with a coffee-a-holic in a city renowned for not really having the coffee scene down yet. Thomas was a very nice chap. He’d been to Sydney but learnt…

Now I’m over the kidney infection I’ve got no excuse – I even got back to handstands this morning – so I’ve hopped back on the fruit and vegetables wagon again. I want to lose another 5kg which will take, precisely, FIVE weeks. And I really am a lot better when I stay totally on…

The juice fast – day 7
Can’t think of another suitable name yet, so it’s still the juice fast. Which includes smoothies. I used to eat very little when I was a teenager. I weighed 50kg. I also used to fast, and I’d find it very easy and I always felt brilliant after a little fast. I think the longest was…

Tuna and Leek Tart (or how I put on 5kg in France)
In France you can buy pre-rolled organic pastry (already shaped in a circle for flans and tarts) for 1 euro at the supermarket. And in the house we stayed at in France there were loads of flan dishes and they had an amazing hot, fast oven. We ate tuna and leek tart one day, Alsace…

Juice fast day 6
Now I’ve had soup and a smoothie I’m not technically fasting. What I’m doing is creating my own version of the Cambridge Diet. A friend lost 40kgs on it and I was going to go on it but I’m happy making up my own diet and using lovely fresh fruit and vegetables, and once the…

Getting organised
After our holiday in France when we were back at home I was infused with a desire to clear the house out. Followed by a desire to clear my computer and organise my files. Then I cleaned all the drains in the house with bicarb of soda and vinegar. With the influx of Raw food…
