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.

To celebrate the season of love, we hooked up with London restaurant Aster to put on a feast of mallowy treats this. I chatted to their in house magazine THE DISH about why I make marshmallows, who we love working with and our not- so secret ingredients. 

I’m so into Valentines at the moment. I’ve really come full circle on this… I love joyful shop displays of bright florals, I love the big breath of crisp newness it brings, I love how it’s moved from being quite a rigidly heterosexual celebration of romance to just being a big celebration of love. From galentines to self-love. Just love. Oh, and cocktails and nice desserts. And I just love cocktails and dessert.
