We’re sorry. What you really want to read about is authentic jollof rice. You’ve tried it before at a West African festival, or at your friend’s mum’s house or even read about it online and what you really want to know is how to make it yourself.

You can’t force inspiration. And food inspiration is hard to come by when you’re trying to get trim for the summer. Honestly, is there anything less inspiring than some sort of grilled protein and veggies? Sure, if you ate that three times a day, you might be skinny like a Victoria’s Secret model (all of … Continue reading
Do you ever feel like life is just whooshing by? May and June definitely whooshed by for us. Looking back, most of it was work, the gym and unwinding. One thing we’ve noticed is that the times when we’ve focused on fitness, we tend to get less creative in the kitchen. It might be because … Continue reading

New Orlean-ians really know how to “laissent les bon temps roule” (let the good times … Continue reading
If you’re on Instagram and you follow any fitness enthusiasts, you have probably seen the meme which says “Summer bodies are made in the winter”. For all of our sakes, we hope not. We don’t know about you, but we’ve been mostly on the carbohydrates since November. We blame the weather, illness and work! (And … Continue reading
Happy Holi! Finally spring is here and in Indian culture we celebrate that fact by throwing different coloured paint on each other with glorious abandon. And the great thing is, non-Indians are also getting in on the action. Flipping through a recent Time Out London, we turned to a whole page dedicated to Holi. Holi … Continue reading
Just like some of you we can’t resist a bargain. In fact, we come from a long line of people who can’t resist a bargain. It’s almost like a badge of honour to be able to buy something at a hugely decreased price, whilst the rest of the population (they clearly haven’t got our bargain … Continue reading
