“I think it's really important to find the right balance for you - a way of eating and living that satisfies you physically and mentally - and that's different for everyone.”
“There are a million different things that I want to do.”
“I want to make vegetables a bit cooler and help people see them as something that can be an interesting, delicious addition to any meal, but that doesn't mean you should feel you only need to eat broccoli!”
“Social media is incredible: it creates a community that I'm really proud to be a part of, but it also creates illusions and a false reality, and it's difficult to grow up with that.”
“The first recipe I made was a disaster. I'd been chopping and pressing dates to create a raw brownie, and I thought it would work even better if I blended them in a food processor. So I went and bought one specially. When my boyfriend at the time came over to try the results, he took one bite and spat it out - I'd left the plastic on the blades.”
“I was really inspired by lots of people I came across who were managing various illnesses through diet and lifestyle. I kind of figured, you know, if it worked for them, then I might as well try it and see if it works. So I did.”
“I don't want people to see healthy eating as a diet. I want it to be satisfying food that everyone takes pleasure in eating.”
“You've got to introduce people to things in a way they're going to enjoy.”
“I've always been pretty lucky with my skin. I did notice a big change when I changed my diet and started to eat more natural foods in that my skin just got clearer and brighter.”
“My main aim is to change our perception of how we look at vegetables because I think vegetables have always been put on the side - it's always been your steamed broccoli or boiled broccoli with your meat.”
“I love cooking and having friends over for dinner, so a beautiful table to sit around is a must.”
“Since September 2013, I have been in a really good place with my health. But I still have to be conscious about keeping it in that good place and taking care of myself.”
“Blogs are amazing, and I'm so grateful to mine for giving me such a great platform to explore other ideas, but it's just not practical to scroll through 30 pages of blog to find a dinner recipe.”
“You can add things to savoury dishes as you cook, but sweet dishes are more challenging.”
“I finished my dissertation six weeks early. Who does that? As soon as something comes in, I like it to go out.”
“I don't really have a 9-5, which I love, as every day is so different.”
“The most important thing is to snack on things that are filled with real food and nourishing ingredients that will leave you feeling energised and happy.”
“If you have a large family like ours, you have to fight to get your point across, and I think I learned that from my dad.”
“I eat the way I do because I really enjoy it but also because it's the only thing I've found that helps me manage the illness I had, and that plays a big part in it.”
“If you're struggling with that sweet tooth, try making healthy sugar swaps using things like honey, maple syrup, and medjool dates. These are all completely natural and will satisfy any sweet cravings.”
