Things I genuinely use, love & recommend.

I’m asked all the time what I use in my kitchen, what I read, and which products have earned a place in my everyday life. So I’ve brought my favourites together in one place. Nothing is here simply because it has a link. These are products I genuinely use, rate or would recommend.

My Kitchen

The tools and equipment that make whole-food plant-based cooking easier, quicker and more enjoyable.

Vitamix

I use my Vitamix pretty much every single day. I use it to make everything from salad dressings, soups and sauces to smoothies, smoothie bowls, ice cream and so much more.I absolutely love how powerful it is. It can turn whole nuts into beautifully smooth nut butter in around a minute, which still amazes me! It is also incredibly easy to clean, so using it never feels like a chore.A Vitamix is an investment, but for me, it has been completely worth it. I probably use mine more than I use my oven. It has a permanent place on my kitchen worktop because I never put it away in a cupboard.It is genuinely my favourite thing in my kitchen and easily my number one kitchen recommendation. If you would like one of your own, you can find it through the link below.

Books Worth Reading

The books that have informed, challenged or changed the way I think about food, health, longevity and being human.

The China Study

By T. Colin Campbell, PhD and Thomas M. Campbell II, MDThe China Study is one of the books that completely changed the way I understood the relationship between food and health. Drawing on decades of research, it explores how our everyday food choices may influence our risk of developing chronic lifestyle-related diseases.This is a foundational book for anyone who wants to understand the evidence behind eating more whole plant foods. It is detailed and scientific in places, but the message is incredibly powerful. If you want to understand why I am so passionate about whole-food plant-based living, this is an excellent place to begin.It is unquestionably one of my favourite and most highly recommended books.

Health, Longevity & Movement

A small collection of things I genuinely use or recommend to support movement, recovery, sleep and a healthier life.

Oura Ring

I’ve owned an Oura Ring for around eight years, and it is genuinely one of my favourite things. It looks beautiful on, but it also helps me understand so much about my body, including my sleep, menstrual cycle, stress levels, recovery and daily movement.Because it collects its readings from my finger, close to my pulse, I find it far more useful and accurate than a watch equivalent. I also dislike wearing a watch in bed, whereas my Oura Ring is so comfortable and convenient that I rarely take it off, apart from when it needs charging.I absolutely love mine and highly, highly recommend it. This is my friend referral link, which will give you money off if you decide to buy one. I hope you love yours as much as I love mine!

Bellicon Rebounder

I use my Bellicon Rebounder every single day, practically without fail. Even ten minutes is enough to get my entire body moving, raise my heart rate and leave me feeling energised.I put on some music and bounce. It is simple, effective and, most importantly, fun. Rebounding gives me a fantastic low-impact, full-body workout and is a brilliant way to support cardiovascular fitness, balance, coordination and normal lymphatic flow. I also find it wonderful for keeping my legs and body feeling strong and toned.Even my children use it! My mornings genuinely would not be the same without my Bellicon. I like to call it the Rolls-Royce of rebounders because it truly is the best of the best.I absolutely love mine and highly, highly recommend it.
