STRAWBERRY RHUBARB MOCKTAIL
STRAWBERRY RHUBARB MOCKTAIL

After an intense and emotional Winter, I’m delighted that Spring vibes are finally in the air and let me tell you, I’m here for it all! You see, I love it when apple blossoms and tulips start popping up in my neighbourhood park and adore it even more when the air starts feeling lighter, crisper and full of hope!

A new season, calls for a brand new cocktail recipe and I can’t think of anything that shouts SPRING louder than strawberries and rhubarb, which is why they feature in today’s cute and colourful mocktail…

THE VINEYARD TASTING ROOM AND HOTEL

This past weekend I had the absolute honour to be invited on a PR trip to the stunning 5 star Vineyard Hotel and Spa in Berkshire, UK. Having generally shied away from hotel and travel collaborations for most of my career as a food photographer and content creator, 2024 felt like the right time to take the leap and try something new! And I’m delighted that I did and that I challenged myself and said yes to this wonderful opportunity….

ZA'ATAR ROASTED CARROTS WITH CHOPPED PISTACHIO RECIPE

December is a funny one - there’s family and presents and festivities and gatherings, but there’s also introspection, melancholy, and deep seated emotions which always seem to poke their heads to the surface as the year comes to a close!
