Raspberries pair very well with a number of other fruits, as well as various spices and herbs. This recipe pairs them with lemon, a natural marriage for the raspberry, and one that works very nicely in this overnight oats recipe.

This recipe features two ingredients you might not have thought of pairing before: coconut and pomegranate; the combination works perfectly. You get the creaminess of the fresh grated coconut and coconut milk punctuated with the slightly crunchy, tangy sweetness of the pomegranate seeds.

I have suggested you use a generous 1/2 a cup of grated apple (roughly 1 apple’s worth). Use whatever apples you … Read more

Carrot cake is one of those all time classics, and this carrot cake OO recipe is no different – it ticks the boxes on all levels. Fresh, sweet grated carrot, soft cream cheese and ground cinnamon zing combine to create that unmistakeable flavour; creamy dreaminess in a pot. This was the second ever recipe I experimented … Read more
This overnight oats recipe is easily one of my favourites, probably top 3! It’s decadent flavours belie the fact that it is healthy and packed full of nutrition that will keep you from the snacks right through until lunch.
