The Winter Edition
It’s a while since I wrote a recipe blog on here so, I thought I’d pop a couple of winter offerings from today’s Yoga Brunch - Sense The Joy - for those of you who were unable to join us. I wanted something warming for our brunch, a good hearty soup with lots of depth and flavour. I chose this Saffron, Parsley and Jerusalem Artichoke Soup for it’s versatility, you can play about with different vegetables in addition to the artichokes, perhaps leeks or pumpkins. On this occas

Roasted Orange Rhubarb with Salted Cinnamon Granola
We hosted our first online collaboration with Julia founder of La Lune Yoga in Manchester. Breakfast was delivered in South Manchester the evening before the event and we all came together for our practice on the Sunday morning, it was fantastic. We followed the Yoga practice with Suzanne giving a short talk about the menu and why the ingredients had been chosen, produces and local suppliers and then enjoyed our 3 course breakfast. An absolutely perfect way to spend a Sunda

Black Rice, Turmeric Onion + Kale Salad
I made this Black Rice Salad for our Yoga Supper collaboration with Lucie Platt and it was gorgeous. Like most recipes it was a mixture of salads I’ve tasted in restaurants along with similar rice recipes I’ve used from cookbooks over time, which gives you carte blanche to add your own flavours to this dish. I start by preparing the rice and whilst that’s cooking get on with preparing the other ingredients so I can put the salad together once my rice has cooled. A generous

Spinach and Rosemary Soup
I thought it would be lovely to share the soup recipe for Lucie Platt’s Yoga Supper starter with you. It's a wonder winter warmer and full of goodness and nutrients for this time of year. This soup is one of my favourites, the original is by Darina Allen who is an amazing chef and teacher and who’s recipes always have a successful outcome. I know that she would probably serve this up with some homemade Irish soda bread but I love mine with 5 grain bread, usually purchased fro

Happy New Year - New Decade - 2020
Last year was a bit of a roller coaster, the ride was thrilling if not somewhat scary at times. But hey that’s life and I’m feeling full of optimism both personally and collectively. I haven’t shared a recipe in a while and I thought this gorgeous Beetroot and Apple Soup - our starter at our Candlelit Yoga Supper - would make the perfect one for January. Beetroot and Apple Soup With A Sweet Paprika Kick Serves 8 2 medium onions, skinned and halved 3 garlic cloves, finely slic

Strawberry and Lemongrass Gazpacho Absolutely gorgeous - just sings of Summer!
It’s June and we have an abundance of gorgeous strawberries, tomatoes and basil either in the local grocers or maybe if you’re lucky the allotment. My suggestion is you whizz up a Strawberry and Lemongrass Gazpacho and invite friends over to share it with you along with some gorgeous sourdough. Or if you’ve booked onto one of our Brunch or Supper Clubs this month you’ll be served it up as a Summer starter. I served this up to friends this week with huge success. Here is the

Roasted Aubergine Soup - a special soup for a special day
I made this soup for the starter at our International Women’s Day Yoga Supper Club celebration. The recipe has been requested loads so I’ve decided to put it up on the blog. Forgive me if you are bored of soup (can’t imagine why you would be) but here it is! Preheat the oven to 180c. You need 2 baking sheets lined with foil, a large heavy bottomed pan and a small heatproof bowl. Serves 8 (large helpings) 4 large aubergines - ends off and cubed into 2 cm pieces 600g fresh rip

The Prince of Soups
This time of year the grocers are full of gorgeous produce with their amazing colours and earthy smells. Usually I’m struggling as to which recipe I should go with or maybe I mix a couple of ideas from a few that the vegetables or fruit bring to mind. The colours of the vegetables are quite intense along with their flavours so perfect for planning a comforting and nourishing meal. Soup is always a favourite starter or maybe a light lunch for me during late autumn or through t
