Following on from the diet tips video (see here for that) we have my top five fitness and exercise tips. All common sense, again, with a few rambling old thoughts thrown in for good measure. I'm on a bit of a fitness kick at the moment - I want to try lots of new...
I write this with aching, heavy limbs but an amazing sense of satisfaction and achievement: I completed my first ever session at Barry's Bootcamp. Those from the states might have heard of Barry's before; it has something of a cult status in LA and New York and is...
Are you keeping up with all of the brilliant recipes coming out with Feel Good Food? There's one a week! I've been filming again this week - another eight recipes - so lots more to keep you going. I know that many of you love cooking, so I hope that you find these...
I know that the healthy eating tips in the following video are pretty much common sense, but sometimes I do think that we lose sight of the basics when we think about health and diet. There are so many (frankly ridiculous) diets out there and some of the advice on the...
I would never in a million years think about creating an entire Japanese lunch in a Bento Box. It screams complicated, does it not? However, break all of the components down into simple steps and it's not at all difficult. Admittedly, I had a properly brilliant chef...
Okay, firstly: I rarely order Indian takeaway. Since making my own (easy, for an example see this prawn & spinach recipe) I can't abide the claggy, fatty taste of most takeaway curries. I'm not saying that they're all bad, not by any stretch of the imagination,...
Easy peasy lemon squeezy. Doesn't even warrant a recipe, really, but this is one of my favourite quick salads and I knock this out if I want to have a low-carb lunch. I'm not too overly obsessed with all the low-carb stuff, but if I've eaten toast for breakfast and...
Just a little something that I often knock together when I'm starving but can't be bothered to "properly cook". This just requires a pan of boiling water and another with some gently heated olive oil. I usually have about 75g of linguine with half a ball of mozzarella...
No Sunday Tittle Tattle today because I am totally Tittle Tattled out at the moment. There were some pretty random posts last week including a rant about the phrase "sleeps until Christmas", so go and have a look at them if you want your fix of Ruth's rambles! Today,...
I've always had lots of questions asked of me regarding my diet and eating habits - people do tend to assume that there's some kind of secret formula that models follow that keeps them slim! There is, and it's called, simply, eating a reasonably healthy and balanced...
I have been waiting for about a year for Waitrose to get Padron Peppers back in stock. If you've never had Padron Peppers then do grab a bag and try them; they're little green peppers with a mild, ever-so-slightly spicy taste, but one in every twenty or thirty has a...
Behold the above photograph, which shows two scoops of frozen raspberry yoghurt, freshly churned and beautifully executed. If I may say so myself. You can also see the churning bucket (right of picture) and the rest of the "fro-yo" ready to be popped into the freezer...
