A few weeks ago I posted a photo on Instagram of a large vat of dhal that I had made for a friend going through chemo. When I asked him what he’d like me to cook he told me he was very interested in the healing properties of fresh turmeric and gentle spices, so this seemed like the perfect recipe. Enough people asked for me to share it to give me the kick up the arse that I needed to do my 2nd post-baby blog post. No rambling thoughts this time though, just a straight up recipe. And a line to say that this recipe is brilliant on many levels: it is wonderful for you, perfect for the freezer and particularly good for sharing. It is as therapeutic as cooking can be and full of good stuff (and just happens to be vegan).
Stirring Slowly is here! Lets all eat (Strawberry Pimms) cake.
Banana cake with sea salted caramel buttercream
Ah I’ve missed this place. It’s been a while since I last logged in and I’ve been itching to write for ages. But I’ve been working on something new and exciting that’s taking up a bit of time right now (and I am DYING to share it with you all).
Other than crazy exciting projects it has been a busy few weeks. There have been trips to Spain (stunning Cadiz), Star Wars Secret Cinema (errrr… amazing, Never even seen Star Wars and bloomin loved it), house purchases (everything crossed) and lots of aperol spritzes – well, it is summer after all.
The not so fun bit was going to see my dentist a few weeks ago. I still hate seeing people for the first time so I avoided it like the plague. However I knew that pregnancy and the stress of this last year had ruined my teeth and I had to go before my pregnancy exemption ran out. Turns out my nail biting and jaw grinding have gotten pretty bad and that my teeth have been breaking. So I got fitted for a mouth guard, which I’m sure will be oh-so-sexy, and my lovely dentist rebuilt one of my broken front teeth (I’ve also since stopped biting my nails). On top of a few other things, I just think he’s a legend so I decided to make him a cake to say thanks. How else do you thank a dentist? Sugar, clearly.

So, with an abundance of bananas at home this beautiful loaf was created. read more…
