Fireworks and Bonfires

This is Lola. Look at that happy face! She gets very frightened during fireworks season, as do millions of other domestic and wild animals. I wrote a report about animals, fireworks and bonfires for Best Magazine. Read on to find out more…

Read More Bosh Burrito Samosas

I made Bosh Burrito Samosas and was really patient while my husband took pictures of them even though I was hungry. Only the first part of that sentence is true.

Read More Meet The Producers – Kings

For the October issue of Vegan Living, I interviewed Blue from King’s Grooming – King’s is an ethical aftershave brand and Blue is dedicated to giving back and helping other chaps. He’s a wonderful man on a wonderful mission.

Read More Chef of the Month – Tammi Willis

For the October 2018 issue of Vegan Living I interviewed Tammi Willis of Nourish Cafe, Bangkok. I loved finding out about Asia’s Refill Not Landfill initiative and Tammi’s other eco-friendly touches, as well as her tantalising menu. Read on!

Read More Talkin’ bout a revolution

Hot off the press! Tesco are broadening their Wicked Healthy range and the new additions sound and look DELICIOUS. Top marks!

Read More Recipe for Success

I don’t profess to be a good cook, but what I lack in skill, patience or culinary know-how, I make up for in enthusiasm, illustrated via my penchant for purchasing cookbooks.

Read More Not Air Balloon

How to make my birthday twice as good – first, make me fear it’s going to be half as awful. It’s just birthday mathematics. Here I am bonding with (a descendant of) a wildcat, because I’m a brave girl…

Parting ways with all the cookbooks I accumulated during my if-she’s-pretty-I’ll-buy-her-cookbook phase. I am #veganforlife and my recipe book collection needs to be on brand.

Read More Kaylah’s call to end animal cruelty

This is a photo of my beautiful niece, taken by my rather handsome husband. I’m sharing a letter Kaylah wrote to her senator calling for an end to animal cruelty and testing on animals. Read it and have hope – the next generation rock!

Read More Stop the Shocks

My feature for Vegan Life magazine’s May issue about Refuge for Wildlife, a Costa Rican charity helping thousands of howler monkeys brutally electrocuted by power lines. Warning: very cute (and only a few sad) photos included!

Read More Wicked Healthy

Mmm mmm. Busy salivating over scrumptious new cookbook Wicked Healthy. Don’t mind me.

Read More But where do you get your protein?

Feeding my pistols some extra protein thanks to Protein World protein powder. How else could you get the word protein into a sentence three times?

Read More The Ocean Brothers

I’m in awe (oar pun, oar pun!) of the Ocean Brothers. They recently completed a quick row across the Atlantic, which is more challenging than we can possibly imagine from the comfort of our sofas. And they are vegan, so, doubly brilliant.

Read More Common People

A debaucherous weekend in London which started well, with fancy afternoon tea at the swish Egerton House Hotel, and ended with Tequila. Which is vegan, right?!

Read More Love Sunday

Sharing some of my recent interviews with animal lovers in Love Sunday magazine. If you like cats and dogs, you’ll love these stories.

Read More Vegan Living – All You Can Eat

In the March 2018 issue of Vegan Living, I wrote about how two little coffee junkies ran around the beautiful city of Turin, Italy. The vegan options are as good as the coffee is strong!
