Does anyone else still have Easter chocolate? Until a couple of days ago, we did. At this point, you’ll be thinking “HOW is this possible?”, given what we know about sugar being addictive, Easter chocolate being especially yummy and in any case, Easter being a whole two weeks ago. I mean, we shouldn’t even be … Continue reading
Our mother will tell everyone she meets to eat more almonds. They’re healthy, they cure all ills especially high cholesterol. She’ll tell you, “Yes my doctor told me my cholesterol was a little high. Do you know what I did? I took cinnamon in hot water. And ate almonds every day, lots of them.” If … Continue reading
Yes it’s definitely autumn here in London. Blustery (love that word), rainy, chilly and damp. As ever in London, it seems autumn always creeps up on us – one moment we’re in jersey tops and jeans…and then we’re in jackets and jersey tops and jeans and our shoes are never quite dry. Crazy.

We like our routine. We’re safe people. We like knowing what our day will bring. We like having the same breakfast a few days in a row. We like certainty. We like having a cup of English Breakfast first thing every morning and then another cup after our lunch. The thing is…it can get slightly … Continue reading

It is obviously a huge occasion in India and although we don’t live there, we like to celebrate it in our own way, with food. Now, as you probably know by now, we love to … Continue reading
Like many people, we’re interested in alternate ways of eating. Just take a look at our Flourless Pizza for example. No flour AND you get to sneak in a vegetable and pretend you’re eating something naughty. So we’re doing it again, but with a well-known breakfast food: pancakes. We’re not strict Paleo eaters but we … Continue reading
Summer is most definitely here. And after one straight month of warm sunny days (with a few rainy ones in between, it wouldn’t be London otherwise), we’re starting to get used to this. Who can remember what it was like to put on a heavy coat (not shorts), tights and boots, (not flipflops) and a … Continue reading
It’s officially T-5 days until Chocolate Bunny Day! The shops have been filled with chocolate eggs, bunnies and chicks along with mountains of hot cross buns since January but we’ve managed so far to resist temptation….until this weekend. We finally caved in and bought little bags of Mini Eggs and mini Creme Eggs and well, … Continue reading
Remember all those chocolatey-sugary treats you ate when you couldn’t help yourself after a long, frustrating day at work? Or maybe it wasn’t frustrating, you just really like refined carbohydrates. Let’s make it all better. Don’t worry. You can do this. I mean, we’re on your side. We’re not going to make you eat rabbit … Continue reading
This week we celebrated Diwali, the Festival of Lights. It’s a major Hindu holiday that occurs every winter which involves getting together with your family, praying, lighting up every room in your house with diyas (little candles), exchanging gifts and watching the fireworks. For us, it’s a beautiful holiday with an important message. We live in a … Continue reading
