This dish is inspired by the wonderful Deliciously Ella, whose second cook book – Deliciously Ella Every Day, released a few weeks ago – I am slowly working my way through. I’ve mentioned previously on my blog that Ella Woodward is one of my foodie heroes. Having been vegetarian since...
This vegetable and bean hot pot is such a hearty and warming dish, perfect for these cold and dark winter days. The recipe came about quite by accident. I wanted to make my Moroccan vegetable tagine but forgot to buy chick peas and, unusually for me, didn’t have any in...
Since I stopped eating refined sugar 10 months ago, there’s one thing I’ve really missed. A warm and comforting hot chocolate. Especially when the weather’s this cold, wet and dark. I don’t like tea or coffee, and while I drink a lot of hot water with lemon and the occasional...
How are those new year healthy eating resolutions going? I’ve already featured a round-up of my favourite healthy soup recipes, as well as my favourite healthy smoothie blends on Cardiff Mummy Says this month.

Cardiff Daddy and I went to Wahaca for the first time recently. We loved it! So much in fact, we went back again a few weeks later. From the bird cage swings and the cocktails on the top floor, to the casual canteen style seating, their Cardiff restaurant was such a...
I bought a bag of the most amazing baby plum tomatoes I have ever tasted last week. They were so succulent, sweet and juicy, I ate half a dozen straight out of the bag. They were from Jo’s Organic Stores in Penarth, where I was taking part in Wake Up...
