You can use any berries or combinations of nuts-seeds-fruits you like, or have in the cupboard. I always include marshmallows because they are strong currency around here and sometimes I like to drizzle these bars with melted white chocolate- as for this photo- for an extra chocolate boost. If you want to do the same, you will need about 100g white chocolate (which is about half a Milky Bar egg) This is a lovely post Easter recipe – one which will fill you with hope, comfort and a bit of chocolate.

So, if I’m perfectly honest with myself things haven’t felt ‘right’ for a while.  Politically, socially, you know, the big picture things. We all kept on acting up, eating out, buying the unnecessary. But, really, there was a niggle wasn’t there. A little ‘Is this ok?’ niggle. The Brexit divide that dragged on and was used as a quick way to shrug off problems seemed only symptomatic of more fundamental issues- from globalization, racism, economic insecurity, the climate crisis- it was all there. Simmering. 

We like to mark International Women’s Day by celebrating women’s achievements, asking what can be done to further gender equality… and making lists. Because, you know how much women love lists, right?

So here are 5 women who we’re calling our Big Thinkers, Go Getters and our Rule Breakers. The women we’ve read or listened to this year who’ve inspired us and- in some way- changed the conversation.

Handily, grazing tables are the new big trend- it’s an American thing that’s drifted over here on the winds of Pintrest. Normally they are filled with cured meats, cheeses, olives, fresh bread, crudités and dried fruits. A colourful feast to relax into. An epic spread that forms the centerpiece to your event. But… to give it a Marshmallowist twist…what if… all of that was sweet? And what if…all the sweet things on the table could be eaten on their own OR brought together to make the most gorgeous S’mores?

Yup it's Pancake Day tomorrow- a chance to use up all your eggs, milk and flour before Lent… OR to whip up a huge stack of fluffy carby decadence and smother them in fun…on a Tuesday.  I will gladly take any opportunity to eat a pancake, a crepe, a buckwheat galettes or anything similar. This recipe is for my ‘weekend’ pancakes.
