What is Wholesome Seduction?

Wholesome Seduction is a food blog that believes food is fuel and it should not only taste good, but do us good. Taking inspiration from abroad and with a little thought and planning, flavour needn’t be compromised.

A hot, wholesomely seductive summer

Last month was all about the sun for Wholesome Seduction, just as August should be. Summer recipes were blogged and long furtive Andalucian weekend getaways shared: Tarifa is true, unadulterated Spain. With failsafe fiestas.I urge you to try my latest obsession: fritters. This recipe’s wheat and dairy free, and packed with nutrients. Not only will your brunch guests thank you (sourdough is so 2012), your energy levels and waists will too.Clare

Travel pick: Tarifa, Spain

Last summer I fell in love; I was introduced to Tarifa. A tiny, whitewashed, Andalucian, beach town that miraculously ticks every box my demanding little heart could desire: Yves San Lauren blue skies; a wind to obliterate any sniff of sticky humidity; traditional yet bohemian Spain; and endless supplies of tuna so fresh it could have a pulse.Click on the image to read more...

Courgertte & prawn fritters

Fritters are an easy and healthy alternative to bread, and just as versatile. In this version, the chilli bite is contrasted by cooling mint and clean coriander; hard to beat for breakfast or supper when topped with avocado and cottage cheese. Poached egg’s also a winner. Or you can make minis with a dip for everyone to dig into as a starter or canapé. Last year’s Santa wish list, Jerusalem by The Godfather, Ottolenghi has a plethora of dips to choose from. Of course. Your mix will keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days or you can freeze.Click on the image to read more...

Basil pesto

Is there an ingredient which tastes of summer more than basil? Thanks to Mum Garcia’s tireless efforts to appease her offspring, you can store up summer and dollop it on your salad, chicken, salmon or pasta whenever the sun shines. Or doesn’t. I’m pretty confident this is the best pesto recipe I’ve eaten. Ever.Click on the image to read more...
