My dad makes a mean spinach and chickpea curry for his only veggie son at all our family get-togethers. Sometimes I try and copy it and this is the closest I’ve come to getting it right.

For those interested, this is a vegan friendly, veggie, and gluten free recipe.

I'll keep the recipe and instructions simple on this as the amounts matter little and I ain't one to count calories anyway! Plus pretty much everything I cook is made up on the fly so here goes...

Is it hummus if there are no chickpeas? It is if you’ve just done your shopping, forgot chickpeas, and used kidney beans instead.

Super simple, they're perhaps more of a scone type taste than a muffin, but these tasty healthy little treasures were cooked in a muffin tray, so that's what I'm calling them.

Everyone deserves a treat after a workout right? This tasty & guilt free mix of nuts & berries can help replenish the post workout energy lull and help promote muscle growth.

These protein filled muffins are perfect for breakfast or bring to work and have with a healthy side salad for lunch. 

If you're extra keen you could have this prepared from Christmas Eve and leave a small slice for Santa just incase he's turned veggie this year.

The most wonderful time of the year...!

As January rapidly approaches, social media and the media in general is overrun with products promising to get us looking and feeling healthy. Magic potions, pills, detoxes & juices all just waiting for you to part with your hard earned cash in exchange for a tiny waistline, bigger biceps or slim thighs – perfect!

Except, eh, maybe not. 

Earlier this year, I had lots of fun and games helping prepare Brian Milligan (Jimmy Tyler) to be the lean & menacing machine he needed to be to shoot season 2 of The Fall.

Another great winter warmer!

Delicious winter warmer!
