Spicy Harissa Chicken & Rice + the winner of our ‘Power Bowls’ giveaway

Up for grabs was a copy of our very tasty Power Bowls cookbook. First name out of the top hat was…..  foodfreedomnaturally from Instagram. Yay!

Boo hoo for those that left lovely comments and didn’t win a copy. Here’s a recipe from the book to cheer you up! The promised Harissa Chicken & Rice with homemade harissa marinade and salsa verde. All is not lost.

Power Bowls – Book Giveaway

The last 12 months have whizzed by and I can’t believe Power Bowls is now a whole year old! Our copy is looking well-thumbed with splodges and stains on our favourite pages. Current loves are the Ancient Grains Porridge (perfect for chilly autumn mornings), a dead easy Kimchi recipe and the Roasted Roots & Pulses Bowl – brilliant for using up homegrown veg.

I loved pulling these ideas together for DK and Will took some glorious pictures, as always! To celebrate our 1st birthday we’re giving away one lovely copy of Power Bowls to one lovely person. All you have to do is leave a comment here or on our InstagramTwitter or Facebook pages and we’ll pull a name out of a hat on October 31st.

Over the next few weeks I’ll post some sneaky-peek recipes to tempt you like Spicy Harissa Chicken & Rice with homemade harissa marinade and salsa verde (the kids are loving this one) and maybe even a Pho Bowl or two! Best of luck….

‘Energy Bites’

EnergyBites6

Back in those lazy, hazy days of Summer I was approached by a publisher and asked to collaborate with established cookery writer, Annie Nichols, on a little cookbook of super-healthy and delicious snacks – the sort of thing that I’ve been putting in my kids lunch boxes and taking to our allotment garden for years.

My blog and Instagram were put on hold as I focused on creating, testing and writing recipes and here is the result of all that hard work – ‘Energy Bites’ … with a mega-bright cover! Packed full of sweet and savoury, great tasting, high energy snacks that are incredibly good for you – vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy free and totally free of refined sugar.
