How-to-videos

Method

  1. Put the tofu, ground star anise, vanilla seeds, treacle and agave syrup into a large bowl and blend with a hand blender until silky smooth.
  2. Melt the chocolate in a heatproof glass bowl sat over a saucepan of simmering water, being careful not to let the bowl touch the water. Fold into the tofu. Spoon the mixture between 4 glasses and refrigerate until set.
  3. To make the honeycomb, line a baking tray with baking paper. Put the sugar, glucose and golden syrup into a deep saucepan and heat until it reaches 145C. (This should take about 5 minutes). Quickly whisk in the bicarbonate of soda. Be careful as the mixture will bubble up very suddenly. Quickly pour onto the lined baking tray. Set aside to cool and harden.
  4. To make the apricots, heat the oil in a frying pan. Add the apricots and star anise and cook until the apricots start to caramelise. Sprinkle over a pinch of sugar and leave to cool.
  5. To serve, sprinkle the toasted almonds on top of the mousse and serve with the apricots and peices of honeycomb.

This forgotten mineral is having a moment. #HarvardHealth #Magnesium

Which foods are good sources of magnesium?

Magnesium-rich foods like green, leafy vegetables (such as spinach), beans, nuts, and whole grains will help you get there. Pumpkin seeds, soy milk, bananas, and dark chocolate (in moderation!) are also good sources.

Eating one serving of spinach, an ounce of almonds, and a banana provides 190 mg of magnesium. That’s nearly 60% of the daily recommendation for women and 45% for men. Fortunately, magnesium is found in many healthy foods, so a good diet (such as the Mediterranean diet) will usually provide all the magnesium that you need.

Bacon & Cheese Savoury Oats (Trust me on this one!)

It’s National Porridge Week and I’m delighted to be teaming up with @flahavans to take on the “Bags Full of Potential” Challenge to showcase just how versatile Flahavan’s Oats are.

When you hear the word Porridge, most of us automatically picture a delicious steaming hot bowl, drizzled with honey & topped with fruit, but did you know that in Asia, savoury porridge oats are common place? It got me thinking, why it never took off in this part of the world?

I never had much of a sweet tooth and definitely prefer a breakfast that’s savoury so I decided to take influence from Asia’s savoury porridge but use some sharp Cheddar and Smokey Bacon. Trust me, It was incredibly delicious and it didn’t feel like it had to be breakfast anymore either. You could easily have this for lunch or dinner and it takes around 10 minutes!

What you need:
serve 2

* 80g Flahavan’s Porridge Oats
* 295ml of Chicken/Veg Stock
* 235ml Milk
* 70g Red Mature Cheddar, grated
* 100g Smoked Bacon Lardons
* Salt and Pepper to taste

Serve with:
* A Runny Seasoned Fried Egg
* Sliced Avocado
* Sautéed Spinach
* Chives, Chopped

What to do:

– Fry off the Bacon in a little oil until crisp, set aside
– In the same pot, add the Flahavan’s Porridge Oats, Stock/Water, the Milk & stir it up over medium heat until cooked
– Add the cheedar, return back the bacon and mix until cheese is melted (don’t forget to reserve some bacon to serve on top later)
– Season well with salt and black pepper to taste (add some butter if you’re feeling indulgent)
– Top with the seasoned fried egg, sliced avocado, sautéed spinach, crisp bacon and chives.
– Enjoy!

  • IT’S IN SEASON 💖

    Still obsessed with rhubarb. It’s in peak season now—tart, sturdy, and showing up in everything. We made a classic rhubarb tart today, no frills, just letting the fruit do its thing & omg it was delish!!

    Also practiced French omelettes (the kind where one second too long ruins everything) and made a fresh chicken stock that’s going to carry half the meals this week.
