Posted by on Thursday, May 16, 2013
So thrilled to be a part of the Marie Claire Inspire & Mentor program, it’s a real honour! The mentorship scheme brings together six women (myself included!) to help put dreams into practice. We’ll be providing business, career and general advice to six Marie Claire readers (we’ll each be mentoring one person) over the course of this year. If you’re interested in having me as your mentor, (or one of the other lovely ladies participating in scheme), you can apply online here.
Love, likes, bits and bobs – May 2013

The more places I visit the more I realise that street harassment is a real issue. Brooklyn-based artist Tatyana Fazlalizadeh has taken the bold and courageous step to tackle street harassment through her artwork. Sick and tired of being catcalled on the street, she decided to express her frustrations (and those of women all over the world) via her art. Check out her sketches and messages on her blog.

Ingredient of the month – Salmon!
Posted by on Monday, May 13, 2013
Salmon, you’re my ingredient of the month this May! I have to say that right now is absolutely the best time of year to get your hands on the freshest salmon around. Whether you plan on grilling it on the barbecue, tossing it through a salad, or adding to a baked dish topped with cheese – you can be quite confident that you’ll be able to whip up a simple and delicious dish with good-quality salmon. My tip? Keep it simple and let the flavour do the talking.

Food Revolution Day 2013
Posted by on Wednesday, May 8, 2013
Will you be cooking this Food Revolution Day? Now, normally I don’t ever need an excuse to cook for friends (or with friends – or to eat food made by my friends!), but Food Revolution Day is the perfect opportunity to organise a get-together and celebrate all things food.
