October Kitchen Garden Tour ✨ watch to see what’s happening down the garden! The light was perfect yesterday with the sun twinkling through the trees and I couldn’t resist doing a little update video!
What veg do you still have in your garden? 👩🏻🌾
Chocolate Apple Pots! I saw this somewhere in the depths of instagram scrolling and had to try this 2 ingredient pudding!
Recipe - makes x6 puds
Melt 125g dark chocolate. Peel and chop 2 apples, pop in a saucepan and pour in water until just covering. Boil for 10mins until mushy. Pour the apple into a food processor along with the melted chocolate and whizz until smooth. You may like to add some chopped dates at this stage if you have a sweeter tooth. Pour into ramekins and place in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight! Decorate with fresh fruit and whipped coconut cream if you fancy, and of course an edible flower 🌺
Enjoy! It tastes like chocolatey apple (as that’s all that’s in it). You may just want to make half the recipe as it does make a lot 👩🏻🍳
Weekend breakfast done right especially for our retreat guests! Apple & blueberry pancakes with a berry compote. We use stewed apples to sweeten our pancakes rather than sugar 👌 served up with coconut yogurt and crunchy granola! YUM!
Friday is here which means making more delicious treats in the HGK HQ! These are some yummy tahini and almond cookies freshly baked and being topped with dark chocolate and pistachios 👌 recipe will be in the cookery book 👏
Rolling into the weekend like….
A glimpse into retreat cheffing life 👩🏻🍳 (well the bits I remembered to film)! Last weekend I catered for 20 lovely guests at @purusha_retreats for @middleyearsmonday 🌻 I love cooking on retreats so much as you really feel like you’re looking after the guests and part of the bond made over the time spent together 💕
Make breakfast on retreat with me 👩🏻🍳
I’ve been serving up meals for 20 lovely ladies for a long weekend retreat, if only my hands could move this fast! This brekkie was oats soaked in almond milk with vanilla maca, chia & cinnamon, topped with banana, coconut yogurt, almond butter, kitchen garden fruit compote, more chia seeds, coconut flakes, strawberries & edible flowers 👌
Sunny weekends cooking at @purusha_retreats ❤️
We only have a few weekends free in November & December for retreats this year, all the rest have gone! Our 2025 diary is open and so if you want us to be there to cook the most delicious & nourishing meals for you and your guests get in touch now!
Exciting times ahead…keep those eyes peeled 👀
Who else needs that something sweet for after lunch? These yummy blueberry and almond squares hit the spot just right! The good news is the recipes already written up ready for my cookbook 🙌
Make brekkie on retreat with me 🤗
Bowls of yum - overnight oats with almond milk, maca, chia seeds, banana, seeds, orange & sultanas topped with @pipandnut almond butter, @coconutcollab coconut yogurt, apple, blueberries & of course an edible flower to finish it off!
ALSO…how have I only just discovered the Timelapse button on my phone (I always wondered how people filmed in fast forward) 😅 So expect everything to be in double time from now on 😂🙌
Not long to wait 🙏 Waking up on yet another rainy day got me dreaming about the warmer days to come!
🌸 The flowers popping out
🍓 Strawberries ready to ripen
👩🏻🌾 The poly tunnel coming to life
I’m not wishing my time away but….I can’t blummin wait 🙌
