Cooking and baking has been one of our favourite ways to pass the time during lockdown. It serves multiple purposes – feeding all the hungry mouths in the house that NEVER STOP EATING, feeding your own soul as you create and nourish, and using up all the food in the pantry/fridge to stretch out the time between each supermarket visit.
We’ve just had a big restock of our favourite foodie brands so we thought we’d share a few of their recipes to get you inspired to hit the kitchen! Enjoy!
Loving Earth
Double Hazelnut Chocolate Chunk Brownies
When you’re on the search for something chocolate-y, cake-y and a little bit gooey…look no further than a chocolate brownie 😉 They call this one “double hazelnut” because it includes Loving Earth velvety Hazelnut bar as well as whole roasted hazelnuts mixed through – the added crunch makes the brownie!
Find the recipe here.Chocolate Jaffa Mousse
This is the simplest chocolate mousse recipe ever. Using a base of only two ingredients; coconut cream and chocolate, you couldn’t get a more simple yet decadent dessert. The jaffa flavour can be polarizing but when using good quality rich dark chocolate, you literally can’t go wrong… the orange flavour fits in seamlessly and adds a natural citrusy sweetness. Plus these chocolate covered dried mandarin slices are insane! The dehydrating process means the flavours are concentrated and yes you can eat the skin and pith… In fact I think it actually intensifies the flavour!

Warm, gooey chocolate mug cakes for dessert. This one would make for a pretty heavenly breakfast too! It’s so quick and easy to make (literally 5 minutes), you could really have it any time of the day. For something a little different, try buckwheat flour in place of almond meal.
