MY DARLING LEMON THYME

Persimmon + ginger chia pudding (vegan + gluten-free)

For those of you who have been here awhile, you’ll already know the love I have for persimmons. I’ve shared a few recipes both here (links below) and in my second cookbook and they’re one of the things I most look forward to eating, every single autumn. Growing up they were a rare treat, eaten […]

Blueberry + coconut chocolate eggs

Blueberry + coconut chocolate eggs | My Darling Lemon Thyme

These, dare-I-say-it ‘healthy-er’ Easter eggs are made using a handful of simple ingredients all coated in melted dark chocolate…

Bread and butter pickles (gluten-free + vegan)

Sri Lankan egg curry

I travelled quite a bit in my early twenties, always to parts of Asia, always wanting to see the world through other peoples eyes and every time in search of amazing food. I’m drawn to heat, spices and flavour turned up high (in case you hadn’t already noticed!). I feel most at home eating curry […]
