A really delicious day of winter comforts and easygoing everyday meals. A beetroot feta toastie made for the lunch of my dreams, a colourful rhubarb pud to combat the grey skies and a simple, nourishing bowl of fennel beans.
BREAKFAST
APPLE CINNAMON YOGHURT BOWL
A very quick, delicious and easy way to start to the day. Apples are my go-to when there is a dearth of seasonal fruits around during the winter. Packed with fibre, protein and healthy fats – a very satisfying way to start the day. Here I used Greek yoghurt and topped it with with chopped apples, almond butter, chopped prunes, ground cinnamon, sunflower seeds, ground flax and honey.
LUNCH
Beetroot & feta toastie
My ideal variation on a grilled cheese. The combination of earthy beets, fragrant thyme, sharp feta and sweet honey just makes total sense. Use pre-cooked beetroots for a very speedy snack or meal.

Gently caramelised, diced and used in the base of recipes, finely sliced and tossed raw into salads. Here are some of my favourite ways to eat it.…
Fennel, freekeh and lemon
A really nourishing plate of food. There’s so much depth of flavour in the grains. Anisey fennel and a marmeladey bitterness from the whole diced lemon.
