After a week of travelling, Amy and I decided we deserved a break from our backpacks and checked in to Bahay Kalipay: a yoga, meditation and raw food retreat in Puerto Princesa in Palawan.
Discovering Japan
It’s been over two weeks since I left the comforts of home and started my travelling adventures. My first week in Japan was spent exploring the beautiful sights, absorbing the unique culture and, of course, devouring the most delicious and authentic Japanese food.

Amy and I are off on our travels tomorrow – excited would be an understatement! We couldn’t leave without throwing a farewell brunch for some of our nearest and dearest. If you’re planning on hosting a brunch and need some menu inspiration – read on!
MY NEXT ADVENTURE!
In three days’ time I will have left my job, packed my bags and will be on my way to Tokyo to start a 10-week adventure. I couldn’t be more excited!
Happy Birthday To Me!
This time last year, I had recently started the FODMAP diet and was seriously struggling – daunted by the never-ending list of banned foods and frustrated by the difficulty of eating out. Aware of the benefits of the diet, I was determined to motivate myself to stick to it. I wanted to introduce others with similar issues to the FODMAP diet so they too could help themselves to feel better. So with a little creativity and a lot of spare time, The Fodmapper was born.
Salted Caramel Brownie Bliss
Just the mention of salted caramel seems to make every sweet-toothed foodie weak at the knees. Salted caramel, or as Nigella Lawson calls it ‘the class A drug of the confectionery world’, seems to be all the trend. Once Starbucks introduced their salted caramel mocha and Ben & Jerry’s their salted caramel core, we knew this trend was here to stay and, personally, I couldn’t be happier.
Sandwiched between a gooey chocolate brownie, salted caramel has never tasted so good
Sweet and Saucy Asian Meatballs
Packed with flavour and dipped in a sweet and delicious hoisin sauce, these meatballs make the perfect traditional comfort food with an Asian twist.
A War On Sugar Feat. Jamie Oliver
Sugar has become the ‘enemy’ of the moment with revelations of its consequences taking the world by storm. So, it was no surprise when Jamie Oliver picked his latest battle and decided to wage a war against sugar.
Juicin’
It is often said that healthy eating takes up too much time. Undeniably, it’s extremely quick and easy to put a ready-made meal in the microwave or pour some boiling water into a pot noodle. However, few things are as simple as making a juice or smoothie. It takes minutes to simply throw everything into a blender and press a button. Juices and smoothies are great to kick start your day, fuel a workout and give you a good dose of vitamins and minerals.
In Pizza We Crust
One of the things I miss most about student life and my pre-FODMAP days is rolling out of bed midday any day of the week feeling somewhat fragile and trying to piece together the night before. The realisation then hits that the only way of ever feeling normal again is by ordering a large Domino’s pizza with all the sides, extra dips and ice cream.
