Welcome to my maternity leave! Where I get to rest and recover with my family and you get weekly recipes! As a reminder, for July, August, September and October paid subscribers will be getting four recipes a month - dropped weekly (double my standard drops!). Each month will have a different theme - all voted on by my IG audience.

July: Freezer meals

August: High Protein & Delicious

September: Easy Weeknight Dinners

October: Breakfast, Breakfast, Breakfast

Every month one of the recipes will be an Indian recipe - as I get asked for this quite a bit! It’s been a massive labor of love putting together all these recipes for you guys and I’m honestly so excited for you to get your hands on them.

Most of my culinary career has been spent in fine dining which means I get to make fun, exaggerated meals for our family at home anytime I want. It’s very much a version of treat yourself and I find that we often don’t publish recipes like this for the home cook in favor of ease and simplicity. The thing is, often times these elevated dishes are just as easy they just require a little more forethought on the recipe writer’s part.

So if you’re in for treating yourself with this fancy avocado toast and willing to trust me that this is a very simple recipe despite how glorious it looks on the plate you’re about to have an incredible breakfast.

If you spy some edible flowers at your local market or have some hanging on in your garden they’re perfect for this. If not, you can get just as much bang for your buck out of chiffonade herbs.

Below this paywall you’ll find my recipe for Loaded Avocado Toast. If you choose to be a paid subscriber to access, I thank you! Developing recipes (well) takes time and can be quite costly in ingredients. If you upgrade to a paid subscription, you will receive new recipes 2x per month (minimally). During my maternity leave (July - October) you’ll get 4 recipes a month!
