Spinach Cake with Lemon – My Super Simple Version of Le Gâteau Vert
My spinach cake with lemon is a super simple version of le gâteau vert or green cake and it tastes delicious too. I was inspired after seeing this week’s episode of Great British Bake Off. I’ve made it with wholemeal spelt, but you can use whatever flour you prefer. The batter is made with spinach puree and the icing is coloured with spinach too. I’ve filled it with lemon ricotta and topped it with pistachios.

Caprese Salad Bowl with Tomato, Mozzarella & Avocado for One
As I mostly work from home, I often eat lunch alone. Mostly I have an omelette or something on toast, but occasionally it’s nice to make a bit more of an effort. Not that this Caprese salad bowl with avocado and lettuce is much of an effort. Juicy ripe homegrown tomatoes, mozzarella, basil, avocado, crisp lettuce and some peppery olive oil is pretty much all this salad is, but oh my, it sure has a wow factor and it’s perfect for a light summer lunch or side dish.

A bottle of Rock Rose summer edition gin, two packs of Doisy & Dam’s new chocolate snaps and a couple of jars of Pip & Nut’s special edition chocolate orange almond butter.
Spelt Scones with Health Giving Kefir, Matcha Green Tea & Honey
I was innocently having a quick catch-up on Facebook before getting down to the more serious business of writing up a recipe, when I noticed a scone post from Johanna, at Green Gourmet Giraffe. She alerted me to the fact it was International Scone Week. Well really, I couldn’t let another year go by without marking the occasion. The post I was going to write has now been put on hold so that I can get the the recipe for spelt scones with health giving kefir, matcha green tea & honey published before it’s too late. As the old saying goes: here today, scone tomorrow.

Matcha Green Tea Cheesecake Pots – No-Bake and Healthier Than You Might Think
It’s been a while since I made anything with matcha and when CT bought me a tin of it for my birthday I reckoned it was time to do more than just drink it. This easy recipe for matcha green tea cheesecake pots with blueberries popped into my head and before I quite knew what I was about, they were made.
Tin & Thyme on Tumblr
These spicy peanut butter noodles with steamed veg and smoked tofu are worth making for their super deliciousness alone. But they have the added bonus of being quick to make and healthy too. If you’re in a real hurry, you could skip the tofu and even the veg, just add a good handful or two of chopped green herbs. Pretty much everything in this dish is organic, so it’s a good one for #organicseptember. #recipeontheblog
