I’ve been blogging here at EatsLeeds for over a year now, and I’ve thought long and hard about taking this break. I had a hectic few months in early 2017, that included traveling + moving house + getting married, all in the space of six weeks before mid-May. To be honest, I was struggling to […]
Orange and Almond Salad
As most of you know, I’ve been oscillating recently between healthy eating, to make sure I look my best on the beach (in two weeks) and at my wedding (in seven weeks) and stress-eating baked goods like there’s no tomorrow (hello, super-gooey brownies + no-fuss cheesecake). So this week I’m sharing a quick packed lunch […]

Super-Gooey Gluten-Free Chocolate Brownies

Needless to say, I’ve done a bunch of experimentation to come up with this gluten-free pancakes mix. My best-ever gluten-free pancakes are super simple (and - bonus - laden with peanut butter). Just like last weeks’ recipe for a simple homemade […]
Three Ways with Simple Homemade Humous
Humous is one of my all-time favourite food groups (and don’t you try to tell me that humous isn’t a food group, because it is definitely part of my food pyramid). Recently, I’ve been experimenting with my simple homemade humous recipe, to showcase a few variations on the classic. So, you might be aware that […]
How I Learned to Love Running
My on-off love affair with running started about five years ago. I took up running in late 2012. In the beginning it was mostly in an effort to ‘get fit’, and lose a few pounds (I’ve also been an on-off dieter since my mid-teens, my desire for the ‘perfect’ body at constant odds with my […]
Lime and Roasted Aubergine Curry Recipe
My mama makes a mean aubergine curry. This isn’t her recipe, its my own version, but it is divine (If I do say so myself). I’m going to be honest: for some reason this dish took more attempts than normal to develop. Like way more. I wanted it just right and it kept coming out not-quite. I finally […]
