Family get togethers are my fave. There is nothing so symbolic or uniting as breaking bread together. I got this spinach cheese cobb loaf recipe off Hannah Marshall's dad Les when we were about 11. Random name drop but I hate modifying recipes and not crediting the originator! The beauty of this vegetarian recipe lies in it's simplicity. All the flavours are good. In whatever ratios you cook it in, it is literally idiot proof. No cooking skills required, the ingredients do

If I miss anything about living in Thailand, it's not the beaches or the tropical weather. It's Som Tam or Spicy Green Papaya Salad in Thailand. I ate it every single day. For 6 years. If I didn't get my fix, I would drive aimlessly until I found the closest Som Tam cart. Usually every few 100m If this didn't work, I would depart immediately for Som Tam retailers who made papaya salad just the way I like it. Because Som Tam is individual, it's personal. It's made bespoke

Whilst I am not vegan, I aspire to many of their values but often vegan food requires a little too much prep for a poor flavour payoff. Not this vegan recipe!

Motherhood and mumlife is in itself isolating and lonely-making. And I should know, I had my baby on a tropical island far away from my family or anyone who spoke English.

Noone to oversee weaning me off my antidepressants and anti-anxiety medication. Nobody to advise me on parenting basics like changing a nappy or how to bath a baby

I served our Vegetarian Mexican Fajitas with my homemade Coconut Yoghurt recipe. My easy cocoyo recipe is fast, economical and imho, tastes

I have a really longstanding love affair with Thin Lizzy. I have outrageously sensitive skin and most makeup brands irritate the bejeezus out of my face. We're talking rashes and acne, eyes watering like a baby and oxidisation that makes stuff look orange when I'm actually not. Most days I don't wear makeup at all. But when I do, it has to be quick to apply and last all day. If you've seen my snaps (@wellfitmumnz) or my instagram (@iamkatythomas) you know I'm barefaced mo

So you spent all weekend binge eating and you feel like crap. Friday night was party night, you threw caution to the wind and said carbs? Sugars? Gimme gimme! Saturday rolled round and it was cold af. Your head said soup and the devil on your shoulder was all ooo I want things fried, no not like that - deep fried mama! And while you are at it, for dessert I want something baked in chocolate sauce! Don't forget the whipped cream! Dairy-free schmairy free, tell it to hand
