Wild Foraged Sleep & Relaxation Tea


This is simple evening tea made with locally foraged yarrow, wild chamomile (also known as pineapple weed)  and lavender, gently blended with warming fennel, cardamom, cloves and ginger. We foraged the flowers locally, dried them naturally for a few days in indirect sunlight, then combined everything into a fragrant herbal blend ready to steep whenever you fancy a calming cup.

Takes 2 days 15 minutes

Serves 20

Ingredients
 

  • 10 –15 dried yarrow flower heads
  • 5 dried lavender flower heads
  • 50 dried wild chamomile flower heads
  • 1 tbsp fennel seeds
  • 1 tbsp whole cloves
  • 1 tbsp cardamom pods
  • 1 tbsp ground ginger

Instructions
 

  • Dry the foraged flowers: After foraging, gently check your yarrow, chamomile and lavender, removing any unwanted leaves or debris. Spread the flowers out in a single layer and leave them to dry for a few days in indirect sunlight, somewhere warm, dry and well ventilated, until completely dry.
  • Prepare the flowers: Once dried, use your fingers to gently pull the individual yarrow flowers from their stems. For the pineapple weed, gently pull the individual flower buds from their stems using your fingers. Do the same with the lavender flowers.
  • Make the blend: Add the dried yarrow, pineapple weed and lavender flowers to a bowl along with the fennel seeds, cloves, cardamom pods and ground ginger.
  • Mix gently: Gently combine everything with your hands or a spoon, being careful not to crush the delicate flowers too much.
  • Store: Transfer the tea blend to a clean, dry airtight jar. Store somewhere cool and dry, away from direct sunlight.
  • To Serve: Add 1–2 teaspoons of the tea blend per mug to a tea strainer or infuser. Place in your mug and pour over freshly boiled water. Allow to steep for 5–10 minutes, depending on how strong you like it. Remove the strainer, let it cool slightly and enjoy as part of your evening wind-down.

Notes

Foraging note: Only forage plants you can confidently identify, and choose clean, uncontaminated areas away from roadsides, sprayed land and dog-walking routes. If you’re unsure about the identification of any wild plant, don’t use it.

15-Minute Charred Cabbage with Spicy Red Pepper Butter Beans


We grew up hating cabbage! But when you cook it like this, everything changes. The secret is getting the cabbage really hot so it chars on the outside while becoming melt-in-your-mouth tender in the middle. Served over creamy, pesto-infused butter beans with blistered farm tomatoes, this is a super comforting dish of goodness that might just make you fall back in love with cabbage!

Takes 15 minutes

Serves 2

Ingredients
 

  • ½ head Savoy Pointed, or Sweetheart Cabbage (cut into 2 thick wedges, core left intact)
  • 2 tins x 400g Butter Beans or Cannellini Beans (drained)
  • 150 g Farm fresh cherry tomatoes
  • 3 – 4 tbsp The Happy Pear Spicy Red Pepper Pesto
  • 1 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
  • 100 ml oat milk or milk of choice
  • 1 small handful Fresh farm coriander coarsely chopped
  • ½ Fresh lemon

Instructions
 

  • Sear the Cabbage (3–4 mins): Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a wide frying pan over medium-high heat. Season the cabbage wedges with a pinch of salt. Place them cut-side down, press firmly with a spatula, and sear for 3–4 minutes on both open side until deeply charred and caramelized on the bottom.
  • Steam to Tender Core (3–4 mins): Flip the cabbage wedges so they are on their back (the outside facing part). Immediately pour 4 tablespoons (approx. 60ml) of water directly into the hot pan around the cabbage. Cover immediately with a tight-fitting lid or baking tray to trap the steam. Lower the heat to medium and steam for 3–4 minutes until a knife slides effortlessly through the core.
  • Rest & Glaze: Remove the cabbage transfer them to a warm plate, and set aside while you build the beans.
  • Deglaze & Cook the Beans (3 mins): Keep the pan on medium heat. Toss in the cherry tomatoes and let them blister in the pan juices for 1 minute. Add 3 tbsp of Spicy Red Pepper Pesto, the drained butter beans, 100ml of oat milk), and a fresh squeeze of lemon juice. Use a wooden spoon to scrape up all the rich, caramelized cabbage drippings stuck to the bottom of the pan.
  • Simmer & Assemble: Simmer for 2 minutes, gently mashing a few butter beans with your spoon to thicken the sauce into a rich, glossy gravy. Taste and season this sauce so it is to your liking.
  • Serve and enjoy – Spoon the creamy beans and blistered tomatoes into shallow serving bowls, nestle the warm charred cabbage wedge on top, and finish with a generous scatter of fresh farm coriander.

Wild-Fermented Sloe Soda (non-alcoholic gin & tonic)


A naturally fermented, botanical soda made with seasonal sloes, juniper, rosemary and lemon. Tart, refreshing and lightly sparkling, it’s a lovely way to make the most of wild sloes when they’re in season. Fermentation does the magic here, creating a naturally fizzy drink with a delicious depth of flavour.

Takes 3 days 10 minutes

Serves 8

Ingredients
 

  • 1.8 litres 7½ cups filtered or spring water
  • 200 g 1½ cups fresh sloe berries, pricked all over with a needle or lightly crushed
  • 120 g ½ cup + 1 tbsp unrefined sugar or raw honey
  • 15 g 2 tbsp dried juniper berries, lightly crushed
  • 3 g 1 tsp coriander seeds, lightly crushed
  • 1 sprig fresh rosemary
  • Peel and juice of 2 organic unwashed lemons
  • 1 pinch sea salt

Instructions
 

  • Add 1 litre (4 cups) of the water to a large saucepan along with the sloe berries, juniper berries, coriander seeds, rosemary and sugar.
  • Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and gently simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat, stir through the sea salt and add the remaining 800ml (3⅓ cups) cold water. Leave to cool to room temperature.
  • Once completely cool, strain the liquid through a sieve into a clean glass jar or demijohn. Make sure the liquid is below 25°C before adding the lemon, as higher temperatures can kill the wild yeast.
  • Add the fresh lemon juice and strips of lemon peel. Stir vigorously for about 1 minute to incorporate some oxygen.
  • Cover the jar with a clean cloth or coffee filter and secure with a rubber band. Leave somewhere warm, ideally around 20–24°C, for 24–48 hours, stirring twice a day.
  • Once you see small bubbles forming around the edges and hear a gentle fizzing sound, the fermentation is active. Strain out the lemon peel and pour the soda into clean, airtight swing-top bottles, leaving around 2.5cm (1 inch) of headspace.
  • Leave the sealed bottles at room temperature for a further 24–36 hours to build carbonation. If using plastic bottles, they should feel firm when carbonated. If using glass bottles, open one carefully to check the level of fizz.
  • Once nicely carbonated, transfer the bottles straight to the fridge and chill for at least 12 hours before serving.
  • Serve ice cold over ice with a squeeze of fresh lemon and a twist of lemon peel or a sprig of rosemary.

High-Protein Tiramisu Blended Oats


Creamy, coffee-rich, and packed with protein, this High-Protein Tiramisu Blended Oats tastes like dessert but works perfectly as a nourishing breakfast or post-workout meal prep. Inspired by the classic Italian tiramisu, it has layers of silky mocha blended oats, a velvety vanilla protein cream, and a crisp dark chocolate shell that snaps with every spoonful!

Takes 20 minutes

Serves 4

Ingredients
 

The Blended Oat & Coffee Base

  • 150 g Rolled oats
  • 50 g Defatted peanut flour
  • 24 g 2 tbsp Chia seeds
  • 1 tbsp Cocoa powder
  • 200 ml Plant-based milk
  • 225 ml Strong black coffee cooled
  • 50 ml approx. 3–4 tbsp Maple syrup (to taste)
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

The High-Protein Cream Layer

  • 350 g Plain coconut yogurt
  • 40 g Vanilla pea protein powder or unflavored pea protein + an extra splash of maple syrup
  • 1 –2 tbsp Plant milk only if needed to smooth out the protein powder

The Crisp Chocolate Shell

  • 50 g Dark chocolate 70% or higher
  • 1 tsp Coconut oil

Instructions
 

Blend the oat base

  • Process the oats, peanut flour, chia seeds, cocoa, coffee, and milk until smooth. In a high-speed blender, combine the 150g oats, 50g peanut flour, 24g chia seeds, 1 tbsp cocoa powder, 250ml plant milk, 225ml cooled coffee, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Blend on high for 45–60 seconds until completely smooth and pourable, then divide equally among 4 jars or glasses.

Fortify the coconut yogurt

  • Whisk the pea protein powder directly into the coconut yogurt until velvety. In a medium bowl, combine the 400g coconut yogurt and 40g pea protein powder. Whisk vigorously until the protein powder is completely integrated and no dry lumps remain. If the mixture becomes too thick or chalky, whisk in 1–2 tablespoons of plant milk until it reaches a smooth, spreadable custard consistency.

Layer the cream

  • Spoon the protein-packed vanilla yogurt over the mocha oat base. Gently divide the fortified coconut yogurt mixture among the 4 glasses, smoothing it out with the back of a spoon to create a flat, distinct white layer on top of the blended oats.

Melt the chocolate topping

  • Melt the dark chocolate with coconut oil in short microwave bursts. Break the 50g dark chocolate into a small microwave-safe bowl and stir in 1 tsp of coconut oil. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring thoroughly between each burst, until the chocolate is completely melted, glossy, and liquid.

Seal and set

  • Spread a thin layer of melted chocolate over each jar and chill until firm. Pour the melted chocolate evenly over the yogurt layer in each of the 4 glasses, tilting the jars to ensure the chocolate coats the surface completely to the edges. Place the jars in the fridge for 10 minutes to let the chocolate shell harden into a satisfying snap, or store them overnight for a quick morning breakfast.

Chocolate Yoghurt Berry Bites


These little chocolate yoghurt berry bites are made with just a few simple ingredients, and there’s a clever little trick behind their cube shape. All you need is ice, melted chocolate, creamy coconut yoghurt and your favourite berries!

Takes 19 minutes

Serves 8

Ingredients
 

  • 8 ice cubes
  • 150 g dark chocolate
  • 120 g coconut yoghurt
  • 100 g fresh berries such as raspberries, blueberries or strawberries
  • Optional: a little maple syrup or vanilla to sweeten the yoghurt

Instructions
 

Melt the chocolate

  • Break the dark chocolate into a bowl and gently melt over a bain-marie or in short bursts in the microwave, stirring until completely smooth.

Create the chocolate cubes

  • Place the 8 ice cubes on a wire cooling rack with a baking sheet underneath to catch any excess chocolate. Pour the melted chocolate generously over each ice cube, making sure the chocolate coats the sides and forms a little cube-shaped shell.

Let them set

  • Leave the chocolate-covered ice cubes for a few minutes until the chocolate has completely hardened. You can pop them into the fridge to speed this up.

Remove the ice cubes

  • Once the chocolate is set, gently lift each chocolate shell from the ice cube. You should be left with little hollow chocolate cube shapes.

Fill them up

  • Spoon coconut yoghurt into each chocolate shell and top with fresh berries.

Enjoy!

  • Eat straight away while the chocolate is crisp and the yoghurt is creamy.

Summer Flower Soda


This Summer Flower Soda is a delicious way to capture the flavours of summer. Fragrant, botanical and lightly sparkling, it's made by naturally fermenting edible flowers with ginger to create a refreshing probiotic drink. The wild yeasts do all the work, transforming the ingredients into a gently fizzy soda that's subtly sweet and lower in sugar than where it started.

Takes 6 days 20 minutes

Serves 8

Ingredients
 

  • 2 litres water 16 cups
  • 200 g organic granulated sugar approx. 10% of water weight
  • 1 orange sliced into quarters
  • 1 lime sliced into quarters
  • 20 g fresh ginger chopped (skin on if organic)
  • 20 g 1 cup edible summer flowers

Instructions
 

  • Combine all ingredients in a clean fermentation jar: In a large glass jar (2L capacity), add 2 litres water, 200g sugar, and mix well using a whisk until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  • Next add the sliced oranges and lemons followed by the 20g chopped ginger, 20g of edible flowers and mix.
  • Cover and ferment at room temperature: Cover the jar with a clean cloth or a loose lid and leave at room temperature (18–22°C / 64–72°F) for 3–5 days. Stir once or twice daily to submerge the petals and prevent mould.
  • Monitor fermentation: Look for bubbles, cloudiness, and a gently tangy taste — these are signs of active fermentation. Depending on room temperature, this may happen faster or slower.
  • Strain and bottle: When the soda is pleasantly floral and slightly fizzy, strain out the solids using a fine sieve or cheesecloth. Pour the liquid into swing-top bottles, leaving about 2cm (0.8 in) headspace.
  • Build carbonation: Seal the bottles and leave at room temperature for 1–2 days to naturally carbonate. Burp once daily to release any excess pressure.
  • Chill and serve: Refrigerate once carbonation is to your liking. Serve chilled and open bottles with care — the soda will be beautifully fizzy, fragrant, and alive with springtime flavour.

Healthier Snickers Ice Cream Bars


One of our favourite treats growing up was an ice cream sandwich,and this is a brilliant healthier version that feels so nostalgic and our kids absolutely love it in the summer! It's a clean, whole-food version of the classic ice cream bar. Featuring a velvety cashew vanilla ice cream layer, a gooey salted date caramel, crunchy nuts, and a crisp dark chocolate shell.

Takes 2 hours 20 minutes

Serves 24

Ingredients
 

The Vanilla Ice Cream Base

  • 240 g roasted salted cashews (approx. 1½ cups)
  • 60 ml maple syrup ¼ cup
  • Pinch of salt

The Gooey Peanut Butter Salted Caramel Layer

  • 240 g dates pitted (approx. 1½ cups / 10 large dates)
  • 100 g roasted cashew nuts approx. ⅔ cup
  • A big pinch of sea salt
  • 10 tbsp warm water 150ml / just over ½ cup
  • 150 g smooth peanut butter approx. ½ cup + 2 tbsp
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

The Crunch & Chocolate Shell

  • 70 g roasted salted peanuts (approx. ½ cup)
  • 250 g high-quality dark chocolate 70% or higher (approx. 1½ cups chopped)
  • 1 tsp coconut oil

Instructions
 

Blend the ice cream base

  • In a food processor, combine the 240g of roasted salted cashews, 60ml of maple syrup, 1 tsp of coconut oil, and a pinch of salt. Blend on high for 60 to 90 seconds until the mixture is a nut butter consistency.

Freeze the first layer

  • Pour the creamy mixture into a lined pan to create the base layer. Line a standard loaf tin or a square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides to use as handles later. Pour the blended ice cream base into the tin and place it flat in the freezer for 1 to 2 hours until it is firm to the touch.

Make the date caramel

  • In a small saucepan, add the 240g of pitted dates and 100g of roasted cashews. Pour in the 10 tbsp of warm water and bring to a gentle simmer for a few minutes on the stove to soften the dates. Strain the water out of the saucepan into a bowl (saving the liquid). Put the softened dates and cashews into the food processor. Add the 150g of smooth peanut butter, 1 tsp of vanilla extract, a big pinch of sea salt, and a splash of the saved date water. Blend until it forms a thick, ultra-sticky, glossy caramel paste. If it's too thick to spread, add an extra tablespoon of warm water.

Layer the caramel and nuts

  • Spread the caramel over the frozen base and press the remaining nuts into it. Take the frozen ice cream base out of the freezer. Gently spread the salted date caramel evenly across the surface. Take the 70g of peanuts, chop them roughly, and scatter them over the caramel. Press down firmly with your hands so the nuts get locked into the caramel layer. Return to the freezer for 30 minutes.

Slice into bars

  • Lift the mixture out using the parchment paper and cut into uniform bars. Once the caramel and nut layer is set, lift the block out of the tin using the parchment handles. Place it on a chopping board and use a sharp knife to slice it into 6 to 8 rectangular bars. Place the bars back on a lined tray in the freezer while you melt your chocolate.

Coat in dark chocolate

  • Dip the frozen bars into melted chocolate to seal the layers. Melt the 250g of dark chocolate with 1 tsp of coconut oil in the microwave in 30-second bursts. Pour the melted chocolate into a tall glass. Take each frozen bar and dip it completely into the chocolate, letting any excess drip off. Because the bars are freezing cold, the chocolate will harden into a crisp shell almost instantly.

Storage

  • Store your finished bars in an airtight container in the freezer. When you are ready to enjoy one, let it sit on the counter for 3 to 5 minutes. This allows the date caramel to become perfectly gooey and the cashew base to soften into a premium ice cream texture!

Elegant Summer Ratatouille


Tomatoes and courgettes are finally coming into season on the farm, and this dish is one of our favourite ways to celebrate them. It’s simple, colourful, and all about letting great summer veg shine. Thin slices of aubergine, courgette, and tomato are layered over a silky roasted pepper sauce and baked until tender and golden! Proof that less really can be more!

Takes 1 hour

Serves 4

Ingredients
 

For the smooth tomato & pepper base

  • 30 ml olive oil 2 tbsp, plus extra for drizzling
  • 300 g onions 2 medium, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 jar roasted red peppers drained and roughly chopped (200–250g drained weight)
  • 1 x 400g tin chopped tomatoes
  • 15 ml maple syrup 1 tbsp
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

For the vegetable layer & garnish

  • 2 aubergines approx. 500g total
  • 2 courgettes approx. 400g total
  • 2 large vine tomatoes approx. 300g
  • 20 g fresh basil

Instructions
 

Cook the aromatics

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C fan.
  • Heat a large ovenproof pan or shallow casserole dish over medium heat and add the olive oil. Add the diced onions and cook for 4–5 minutes until soft and translucent. Stir in the garlic and cook for another 1–2 minutes until fragrant.

Make the sauce

  • Add the roasted peppers, chopped tomatoes, maple syrup, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Simmer gently for 3–4 minutes.
  • Using a hand blender, blend the sauce directly in the pan until smooth and velvety. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.

Slice the vegetables

  • Slice the aubergines, courgettes, and tomatoes into thin rounds, roughly ½–1cm thick. Try to keep the slices as even as possible so they cook uniformly.

Arrange the vegetables

  • Arrange the sliced vegetables upright in concentric circles over the sauce, alternating aubergine, courgette, and tomato as you go. Pack them fairly tightly together so they hold their shape while baking.

Bake

  • Drizzle generously with olive oil and season with a little extra salt and pepper.
  • Cover with a lid or foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the cover and bake for a further 10 minutes until the vegetables are tender and lightly golden around the edges.

Finish and serve

  • Scatter over the fresh basil just before serving. The heat from the vegetables will gently release the basil’s aroma and bring the whole dish to life.
  • Serve warm with crusty bread, grains, or a simple leafy salad.

Plant-Based “Meaty” Arayes


a photo of Crispy, oil-brushed pita pockets stuffed with a savory, spiced umami filling that’s hearty, deeply flavorful, and seriously satisfying. Golden and crunchy on the outside with a rich, meaty texture inside, these make a delicious high-protein, fiber-rich alternative to the classic.

Takes 25 minutes

Serves 3

Ingredients
 

The Filling

  • 250 g mushrooms
  • 240 g cooked brown lentils drained well (1½ cups)
  • 60 g walnuts/pecans ½ cup
  • 100 g small onion 1 small onion
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 15 g tomato paste 1 tbsp
  • 8 g cumin 1 tbsp
  • 2 g smoked paprika 1 tsp
  • 1 g cinnamon ½ tsp
  • 15 ml pomegranate molasses 1 tbsp, optional but recommended
  • 30 ml tamari/soy sauce 2 tbsp
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

The Build

  • 4 large thick pita breads (standard or wholemeal)
  • 30 ml extra virgin olive oil 2 tbsp, for brushing
  • Lemon-Tahini Dip
  • 60 g tahini ¼ cup
  • Juice of ½ lemon
  • 1 g garlic powder ½ tsp
  • 60 g yogurt of choice ¼ cup
  • 30 –45ml warm water 2–3 tbsp, to thin
  • Salt to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the filling

  • Peel the onion and garlic and roughly chop. Roughly chop the mushrooms and walnuts/pecans. Drain and rinse the lentils. Into a food processor add all the ingredients and blend until cohesive but still with a little texture. It should feel like a thick paste.

Cook the filling to evaporate some water

  • Into a large pan add 30ml (2 tbsp) of oil and fry the filling for 3–4 mins, stirring regularly to brown and cook off some of the water in order to concentrate the flavours and texture.

Stuff the pita

  • Quarter the pitas if large and if smaller cut in half and spread the filling evenly into each pocket. Carefully open the pockets and spread about 30g (2 tbsp) of the filling into each. Use the back of a spoon to flatten the filling so it reaches the very edges of the pita.

Crisp the sides

  • Brush with olive oil and fry each side until golden and shattering. Lay the pitas flat in the pan. Brush the top side with olive oil, then flip. Brush the other side. Cook for 3–4 minutes per side, pressing down with a spatula, until the bread is dark golden and very crispy.

Sear the open edge

  • Cook the “meat” side first to seal the filling and create a crust. Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat with a splash of oil. Place the pita quarters in the pan upright, with the exposed filling touching the pan. Press down gently for 2 minutes until the filling is browned and “sealed.”

Make the dip and serve

  • Whisk the tahini sauce until creamy and serve alongside the hot pitas. Whisk the tahini, lemon juice, yoghurt and garlic powder. Gradually add warm water one tablespoon at a time until it reaches a smooth, drizzling consistency. Serve the Arayes hot, dipped straight into the tahini sauce.

Serving Suggestion

  • The Fresh Balance: Serve these with a side of fresh parsley and red onion salad tossed in sumac. The acidity of the salad perfectly balances the rich, nutty flavor of the walnut and mushroom filling.

Upside-Down Rhubarb & Frangipane Cake


We used forced rhubarb for this recipe. That’s rhubarb grown in the dark which produces more tender stalks with a naturally sweeter flavour and a beautifully vibrant pink hue. It’s perfect for baking, as it softens easily and gives this cake its stunning colour. If your rhubarb is a little on the greener side, you can also add a handful of raspberries to the fruit layer to boost the colour and bring an extra pop of brightness and tang.

Takes 1 hour

Serves 8

Ingredients
 

The Rhubarb Base

  • 400 g rhubarb trimmed and cut into 5cm lengths (about 4 cups)
  • 50 g plant-based butter ¼ cup
  • 100 g caster sugar ½ cup
  • 25 g flaked almonds ¼ cup

The Frangipane Sponge

  • 200 g ground almonds 2 cups
  • 175 g caster sugar ¾ cup + 2 tbsp
  • 125 g self-raising flour sieved (1 cup)
  • 150 g plant-based butter melted (⅔ cup)
  • 120 ml water ½ cup
  • 1 tsp almond extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Prepare the tin and rhubarb

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan). Grease a 20cm round cake tin (or use an ovenproof skillet). Melt the butter with the sugar in a pan and simmer for about 2 minutes, until slightly thickened and lightly pink. Pour this syrup into the base of the tin. Scatter over the flaked almonds, then arrange the rhubarb pieces neatly on top, fitting them snugly together.

Combine the dry ingredients

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the ground almonds, sieved flour, caster sugar and a pinch of salt. Whisking helps break up any clumps and keeps the sponge light rather than dense.

Mix the wet ingredients

  • In a separate jug, combine the melted butter, water and almond extract. Stir well until fully mixed.

Form the batter

  • Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and fold together using a spatula until smooth, thick and glossy. The batter should be scoopable, with no streaks of flour remaining.

Bake and turn out

  • Gently spoon the batter over the rhubarb, smoothing the top without disturbing the fruit. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Allow the cake to rest in the tin for 5–10 minutes, then run a knife around the edge and carefully turn it out onto a serving plate.

Blended Blueberry Chia Overnight Oats


These blended overnight oats are a creamy, blueberry-packed breakfast that you prep in minutes and let the fridge do the work overnight. Finished with a layer of melted dark chocolate that sets into a crisp shell, they feel more like dessert than breakfast—but are still full of fibre, healthy fats, and plant-based goodness.

Takes 4 hours 5 minutes

Serves 4

Ingredients
 

  • 200 g 2 cups rolled oats
  • 2 tbsp chia seeds
  • 360 ml/ 1½ cups plant-based milk
  • 245 g / 1 cup plant-based yogurt

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract optional
  • Pinch of salt

Chocolate topping:

  • 80 –100g dark chocolate
  • 1 tsp coconut oil optional, helps it snap nicely

Instructions
 

Blend:

  • Add all oat ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth and creamy.

Chill:

  • Pour evenly into 2 jars or containers. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. It will thicken up nicely.

Make the chocolate shell:

  • Melt the chocolate gently (microwave in short bursts or over a bain-marie).
  • Stir in the coconut oil if using.
  • Let it cool slightly (so it’s not piping hot).

Create the shell:

  • Pour a thin layer of melted chocolate over each jar.
  • Tilt or swirl to spread evenly across the top.
  • Place in the fridge for ~10 minutes until it hardens into a shell.

To serve:

  • Crack the chocolate layer with a spoon and dig in

Tips to level it up:

  • Add a layer of nut butter under the chocolate for a “snickers” vibe
  • Sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt on the chocolate before it sets
  • Stir in some protein powder or hemp seeds for extra fuel

Chocolate Covered Figs with Pistachio


Dried figs have always been one of Steve's favorites, traditionally stuffed with walnuts or almonds. These are next level, featuring a pop of acidity from freeze-dried raspberries and a rich, dark chocolate shell.

Takes 10 minutes

Serves 10

Ingredients
 

  • 10 large plump dried figs
  • 50 g almond or peanut butter
  • 50 g shelled pistachios finely chopped
  • 10 g freeze-dried raspberries lightly crushed
  • 75 g dark chocolate 70% cocoa works best

Instructions
 

Prep the “Buns”

  • Start by trimming the hard woody stem off the top of each fig. Slice them in half horizontally (across the “equator”) to create a top and a bottom “bun.”

Stuff the Burgers

  • Lay the bottom halves open on a tray. Add a generous teaspoon of nut butter to each. Sprinkle with a layer of chopped pistachios and freeze-dried raspberries, then gently press the top half of the fig back on to close the “burger.”

Melt the Chocolate

  • Break the dark chocolate into small pieces. Melt it slowly using a microwave (30-second bursts, stirring in between) or a bain-marie.
  • Pro Tip: Pour the melted chocolate into a narrow, deep glass. This makes it much easier to submerge the figs fully without needing a huge amount of chocolate.

Dip and Coat

  • Pierce a stuffed fig with a toothpick so it’s secure. Dunk it straight into the chocolate until fully coated. Lift it out, let the excess drip off, and place it onto a plate lined with parchment paper.

Set and Serve

  • Repeat with the remaining figs. For a final touch, you can sprinkle a few leftover pistachio crumbs on top while the chocolate is still wet. Place the tray in the fridge for 15–20 minutes until the chocolate is snappy and set.
