🖤the benefit of jet lag🖤
Wide awake since 4:30am so stepped out to find coffee and pastries. This place .to is 👌
Am hanging up my pinny for a few weeks to attend 2 different weddings of super amazing people. It’s not that I think my hangover will last 2 weeks, one wedding is in Canada 🇨🇦
Take care lovely people and I will see you soon.
🖤Say Cheese 😃🖤
This week, I created a curry feast for a lovely customer who was heading away with her family for the weekend and wanted something tasty and fresh to just b**g in the oven when they arrived. On the menu was:
Family Friendly Chicken Curry
Roast Butternut Squash Curry
Aubergine Dhal
Pilau Rice
Lamb Koftas
Tikka Paneer Skewers
Fresh Raita
I also did a cheese board for the first time (professionally…I mean personally it’s like a religion in the Sparkes family). Absolutely loved creating it all.
So if you are going away in a big gang and want something super easy and tasty to eat when you arrive so you can focus on relaxing with your peeps, let me know. Lots of different dishes available.
🖤did you miss me?🖤
Our chicken satay skewers are back on the menu this week after a little break.
These juicy skewers are made with beautiful chicken breast meat from Williamsons Butchers on St John’s Rd. They come with an umami peanut dipping sauce and super fresh mango and chilli salsa. A super delish combo. Available now to pre order for delivery or collection on Monday, Tuesday and Friday next week.
Talking of little breaks…(I know, more holidays than Judith Chalmers 🙄). After this week, I am off for a couple of weeks to celebrate 2 weddings of very special people. One is in Canada 🇨🇦 So I am looking forward to being with loved ones and eating my body weight in Poutine 😋

Will still be bobbing up with the odd post (probably of holiday food tbh!) to make sure you don’t forget about me and and go off with your other food mates 😬.
See you soon 🖤
🖤Local Business Love🖤
I have been working with Karen and Chris from to bring to life YOM!’s Office Pop Ups and Catering offer on the website and other printed materials. As always they have not just provided a first class design service but great advice and lots of options to suit my sometimes limited budget and I am delighted with the results. They have been true cheerleaders for YOM! since the start keeping me motivated when sometimes I struggled. Can’t recommend them enough - fabulous creatives and fun people to work with to boot.

Gathering inspo in and having a few cold beers in the process 😆
BAU on Monday. See you then YOMmers.
🖤Celebrate Midsummer Scandi Style🖤
Our next Picky Tea is on Friday, 23rd June which so happens to be Midsummer. Midsummer is a big deal in Scandinavia so I wanted to do a ‘spread’ that celebrates some of the ace cuisine of those countries. So whether you are making flower crowns and dancing round a pile of stones or watching Glastonbury on the telly, YOM! has got some delicious eats for you.
What’s the thinking behind the Picky Tea? By the time Friday night comes around, I just don’t want to cook. But I still want to eat something good as a treat for a busy week. So that often means a takeaway or a ‘b**g in the oven’ from the supermarket. But my favourite thing to have is a ‘Picky Tea’. A load of little dishes of deliciousness in the middle of the table for everyone to pile into while the wine (or Aquavit) is poured.
For this Picky Tea, we have 10 orders available (each order is enough for 2 people to share) and the deliciousness will be:
4 x Prawn ‘Skagen’ Toast
6 x Swedish Meatballs (homemade not from the blue and yellow shop!)
Gravlax cured salmon w/rye bread and horseradish cream
Beetroot and Apple Salad
Cucumber and Dill Salad
Midsommar New Potato Salad
Price is £22 for 2 people
How to order:
DM me to secure your spot and advise any food allergies.
I will send you a link for payment (all orders must be paid for when placing your order)
Free delivery to L22 and L23 between 4 and 5pm or you can collect from Blundellsands between 3 and 4pm
All the dishes will be ready to eat (but the meatballs will come with heating instructions if you prefer to eat them warm) so all you have to do is pop them on the table, grab a fork and pour your favourite tipple. Even the washing up is kept to a minimum as the dishes come in YOM!’s compostable packaging. Boom 💥
🖤new YOM! goodness🖤
How’s your weekend? Did you get caught in the storms last night? We were at the Bootle Music Fezzy and got drenched! Nice to see the sun is shining again today ☀️

Happy weekend all!
🖤Sorry Folks🖤
No YOM! until Friday due to me being poorly.
Take care X
🖤love this🖤
There are some lovely people out there. Have had a few orders where people are sending food to family and friends to say they care.
My mate Nik lives in Cardiff but placed an order for me to deliver to her hard working sis. I’ve had people send soup and smoothies to friends when they are feeling poorly and just today, i delivered to the parents of a newborn baby on behalf of their super thoughtful friend. I mean flowers are nice but food is useful 😀.
It makes me happy when I see people looking out for each other.
Happy Tuesday 🖤
🖤Chicken Caesar Salad🖤
This is a new one on the menu and they were flying out of the YOM! kitchen this morning.
Loads of lean, shredded chicken breast that’s been poached not fried. The croutons are from low GI multi grain bread and the dressing tastes like the OG but is that little bit lighter.
Don’t miss out, it’s on the menu tomorrow and Friday and available to order now from www.yomfood.co.uk now 👍
🖤Summer Rolls🖤
Have been practicing speed rolling these babies today ready for the Mind Body Soul Festival this Sunday.
These are so so fresh tasting with crisp veggies, avocado and mint served with an umami peanut dipping sauce. Also on the YOM! food counter will be:
🖤 a stunning roasted broccoli, squash and avo salad bowl laced with fresh herbs and pomegranate seeds topped with feta
🖤 our Moroccan lentil soup with chilli fried onion and low GI bread.
But the goodness doesn’t stop there! We will also have Carrot Cake Energy Balls and Dark Choc Oat Slices.
If you haven’t got your tickets yet, get a wriggle on as there’s not many left:
https://www.flowfitness.uk/book-online
It is going to be an epic event filled with yoga, meditation, holistic therapies, talks, taster sessions and just basically loads of super chill stuff. What a boss way to spend a Sunday.
I will see you there with my perfectly speed wrapped Summer Rolls 😬💪
🖤Back to the routine🖤
Back to school and a full week (only 2 weeks to the next BH though!)

Have a brilliant week all 🖤
🖤Kids Packed Lunch🖤
I was chuffed to bits when En Pointe Dance] asked if I would create some packed lunches and smoothies for their gorgeous Easter Camp pupils.
We did Very Berry Smoothies for morning break and then a choice of either a chicken bagel or cheese quesadilla w/salad on the side 😉, a fruit skewer w/choc dip pot and home popped popcorn.
What a lovely couple of days! Have loved the little knocks on the kitchen door to tell me what their favourite thing was 😍.
All the children have been ace and so beautifully behaved 🖤
I have really enjoyed doing it so if you have a children’s event or party coming up and like the look of this please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
Thank you En Pointe Dance] 🖤
Love 23

🖤Sunday Morning Breakfast?🖤 Banana Overnight Oats with Tahini ‘Toffee’ Worth the 10 mins the night before to wake up to this beaut! Mashed banana and oats with a spoonful of flax for fibre and some cinnamon and vanilla essence for taste. Add your favourite nut milk and leave for at least a couple of hours til the oats have sucked up the milk. For the tahini toffee add a tablespoon of almond milk, a teaspoon of tahini and a teaspoon of maple syrup and heat in a pan til you get a toffee like consistency (also fit on ice cream and yoghurt) Top your oats with more banana, some seeds and your toffee. What a way to start your day 💥 #crosby #liverpoolfood #overnightoats #healthybreakfast
🖤Very Berry Smoothie🖤 Popular with all ages and a very accessible way to crack on with your 5 a day. It couldn’t be simpler; A nice ripe banana Handful each of frozen - Strawberries - Raspberries - Blueberries A dollop of Almond Butter A couple of glugs of Coconut Milk Blitz it all up and enjoy 🖤 Or if that all seems a bit of a faff, YOM! will make one for you 😉 Friday, 28th is our last day until September. You can place your order anytime between now and 9am for collection or delivery to L23 or L22. #crosby #liverpoolfood #smoothie
🖤Read Caption Below🖤 5 simple Halloumi hacks: ✅Bring up to room temperature before cooking ✅Remove excess moisture with some kitchen towel ✅Get your pan nice and hot before adding (no oil required) ✅It’s done as soon as you get that nice golden crust on the outside. Cook any longer and it will be as rubbery as an old flip flop. #halloumi #crosby #liverpoolfood
🖤Don’t cry over your chopped onions🖤 Hmmm not sure if this is going to be a massive revelation or just the best kept secret that I didn’t discover until I was nearly 50… I am clearly not a trained chef but have had to up my game on knive skills mostly in the interests of not chopping off a digit and working faster. Did you know that when you are peeling your onions to leave the root bit on the end as an ‘anchor’ point when chopping or slicing. Soooooo much easier. Oh… you already knew….I’ll get my coat. #everydayisaschoolday #onions
🖤Carrot Cake Energy Balls🖤 100% natural, 100% tasty, 100% vegan You can keep them in your freezer and eat them straight from there for a boost of go go power 👍 #energyballs #liverpoolfood #crosby #vegansnacks #healthysnacks
🖤What YOM! is all about🖤 It’s my last week until September. I cannot believe how fast YOM!s first year is going 😮 I am creeping up on the milestone of 1k which is actually blowing my mind 🤯. So it felt a good time to share with any new folks what was on my mind when I started out and still is. Have a great week all 🖤 #crosby #liverpoolfood #healthylunch @love23community
🖤The Green One🖤 No, not The Hulk. The YOM! green smoothie is one of our best sellers probably because it loads a LOT of good things into a single cup. We’ve got ✅Spinach and Flaxseed for fibre ✅Almond Butter for protein ✅Maca Powder for va va voom. It’s a good one to get ordered in for a Monday morning to banish the weekend excess and start your week off on the right foot. #greensmoothie #crosby #liverpoolfood #vegan
🖤Deep Avocado Joy🥑🖤 I think I may have shared before how happy a perfectly ripe avocado makes me 😬 Want to know how to pick out a good un in the shop? Give it a squeeze, there should be a little of give but the skin should not feel detached from the flesh Check the nobbly bit at the end. If it’s ripe, it will come away easily and the flesh underneath should be green. And that’s it! Happy avocado hunting and happy weekend! #crosby #liverpoolfood #avocado
🖤Chicken Caesar Salad🖤 Whatever you call it it is delicious and tomorrow is your last chance to order it for a few weeks. Why is the YOM! Caesar different? The chicken is lean breast that has been poached not fried or roasted The crunchy croutons are made from multi grain low GI bread The dressing is a lower fat version but still with all the fit taste. A total chefs kiss of a dish #chickencaesarsalad #crosbybeach #liverpoolfood
🖤Shop Local🖤 One of the things I wanted to do when I started YOM! was to source as many ingredients as possible from the brilliant local businesses of Crosby and Waterloo. Not just because it supports the local economy but because the quality beats the big supermarkets hands down. I also get a lot of my packaging from @_packgreen a local supplier. @butcherboys @satterbake @pineapple_fruitandveg #shoplocal #smallbusinesssupport #crosbybeach #liverpoolfood
🖤ASMR for Monday🖤 To help chill any Monday stress whether it’s struggling through the last few days of term, Monday blues or trying to get Taylor Swift tickets 🤦🏼♀️. Take a mo and watch the onions get chopped 🤣 #asmr #monday #taylorswift #crosbybeach #liverpoolfood
🖤How to order your YOM!🖤 Did you know that you can place an order anytime for the week ahead? It doesn’t have to be the same day as your lunch delivery or collection. I did it this way because my own memory is like a sieve and I have to do things when remember. Plus it’s nice to have at least one thing organised for the week ahead 👍 www.yomfood.co.uk #healthylunch #crosbybeach #liverpoolfood @love23community @kymagination_
🖤banana overnight oats🖤 Call them what you like, they are delicious and vegan. I especially 🖤 the tahini ‘toffee’ Did you know that you can pre order breakfast from us to collect after your early morning @love23community classes to continue those feel good vibes! Happy Saturday 🖤
🖤clean up and close down for another week 🖤 Happy Friday y’all. It was an exciting one for YOM! with our 1st Office Pop Up at Liverpool Road Studios which was brill. I have also been working with @kymagination_ to create some new video content for the YOM! socials so all the cool stuff you see in the next few weeks is 100% down to him! Next weeks menu has just been loaded onto the website. Don’t forget if you have a busy week ahead, you can order anytime from now for delivery or collection on Monday, Tuesday and Friday. Have a great weekend 🖤
