In spite of the autumnal chill in the air, April was a month of sunshine for me. Our pantone loving brand, Gather & Gather (what I do when I’m not scoffing, shopping or stretching in India) launched to rapturous reviews. Recipes were shared, some wholesome, some so seductive any cerebral nagging re: waistlines promptly evaporates.Boutique Indian hotels were even sampled in the name of blogging travel picks with guaranteed sun. Since it refuses to shine on Great Britain. Let it not be said I don’t do my duty by you, wholesomely seductive readers. Namaste.ClareGather & Gather
With all my eulogies on India, Spain, yoga and hot eating and travel spots, you could be forgiven for thinking my life is one long, gluttonous yoga retreat. It’s not. At least not all the time. I’m pleased to say I have a day job for which, like this blog, my gathering of said wholesomely seductive treasures and trends is quite fortuitous.Click on the image to read more...
Anzac Biscuits
In honour of Anzac day (25th April), and of our Gather & Gather brand launch, my very talented Kiwi colleague and chef, Tony has somewhat altruistically shared his closely guarded recipe. Thank you land of Antipodeans!Click on the image to read more...
Travel Pick: Holy Cow
This month is a significant one for me; five years ago I popped my India cherry. And my holidays have never been the same since. Each year I try to break away from my spiritual addiction and fail. Since April 2008 I’ve back-packed (kind of), boutique hotel’d and eaten my way from sand and dust suffocated Rajasthan to tropical India’s most southern, sticky, coconut fringed tip.Click on the image to read more...
Almond Butter
I’m a big Peanut Butter fan. I was practically weaned on Sun-pat and Marmite sandwiches; I dollop Wholenut Crunchy into smoothies and even cram it into Lindt Teddies. Don’t knock it. Apart from the nagging feeling of gluttony, I’m painfully aware that peanuts aren’t great for me – there are better fats out there and I’m cursed with instant bloating on consumption. Almonds on the other hand, are a veritable powerhouse of goodness. And in my opinion, taste even better when roasted, blitzed and topped on toast or oatcakes. Protein and nutrient packed instantness.Click on the image to read more...
