The apples in these oats are lightly stewed. Sweetener is optional depending on how sweet you like . A bigger quantity of the apples can be prepared and kept in the fridge for a week and … Read More Cinnamon Apple, Walnut and Blackberry Overnight Oats

I always felt comfortable with the heavy contoured-look which is very popular here especially for tv. Analise told me all about the newer trend of blending and … Read More ‘No-make-up’ make up look

I like to make crispy fritters in the oven using hardly any added fats. I lightly coat the fritters and flour and brush them with olive oil to make them crispier.
The mixture easily holds together. I served with tzaziki but if you are in a rush, simply mix some Greek yoghurt with fresh mint, salt and a pinch of dried mint to use as a dipping sauce. I just love these and could eat them every day
Zucchini/courgettes and the round light green marrows that are so common here all make great fritters
