I’ve just spent the long weekend at The Hay Festival a ten day international book fest set in Hay-on-Wye in the Welsh Brecons. With some thirty major bookshops it has been famous as the world’s largest secondhand and antiquarian book centre since 1961. While there are some perfectly reasonable pubs and cafes around town, (I ate the best beef [...]

Here’s the recipe for the raw mango salsa I made for friends in Ghent last weekend. We served it to the meat loving Belgians with fresh fish we barbecued in the garden. It was our first and best Summer day so far… The ingredients: 4 ripe mangoes 1 large bunch of coriander (cilentro) Juice of 1 lime fistful of mint [...]

Prior to spending the weekend in the beautiful Flemish town of Ghent, my understanding of a Belgian menu extended the short distance from moules and frites to chocolate. And so I traipsed to Belgium fully armed with raw fruit balls, raw spinach pesto, a pineapple(??), and ingredients for a raw mango salsa. It was a complete waste of time and bag-carrying energy. Ghent may not have [...]

Travelling raw can be tough and knowing the limitations of Eurostar, I made a few snacks to fill the five of us on our way to Belgium. Thankfully these raw fruit balls satisfied all of us on the 2 hr journey, including my potentially toughest critic, 1yr old, 2-toothed Hunter. Phew. The ingredients 1 big grated [...]
Raw Food on Eurostar

Compared to carbon-greedy airlines, Eurostar has always struck me as a relatively progressive and eco-friendly brand. So when my friends and I booked our trip to Belgium I was sure they would have healthy food for both someone like me who can easily dabble in cooked food if they have to and someone much nicer who eats raw food [...]
Enzymes are the Secret to Everlasting Gorgeousness

You won’t find the secret to looking and feeling young, gorgeous and happy, in a cult, ashram or monastry, by taking illegal (or legal) drugs, succombing to botox, ’investing’ in Laboutin, Chanel or a Birkin, or by meditating in a Nepalese mountain cave for 12 years - you’ll find ‘it’ in the fruit and vege section of Sainsbury’s. The secret is enzymes. If there is one [...]

Okay – I know I said I would stop writing about raw chocolate but I can’t help it. I’ve just had a bar of Conscious Chocolate called Love Potion Number 9. It’s amazing. It’s so amazing it’s beyond amazing and I’ll say that it could even be beyond ‘beyond amazing’. Actually, I’m holding back, it [...]
