Plate Up. Immune-Boosting Super Soup

As you may well recall I had a tough time of it last winter here in London. Between flus, coughs, colds and a mild case of S.A.D. (seasonal affective disorder, look it up it’s totally a thing!) I wasn’t feeling the greatest throughout the endless winter. This year, I’m prepared. I’ve already been taking vitamins for 4 months to boost my immunity, I’ve got a stock of gargle, I have hand-sanitizer in every handbag AND I have a little extra trick up my sleeve. This immune-boosting super soup…


A one-pot wonder, utterly delicious and full of germ-fighting remedies. I suggest you whip it up. Is every second day too often?...

What you’ll need
1 tablespoon sunflower oil
1 onion finely, sliced
400g Jerusalem artichokes, peeled and finely diced
3 garlic gloves, crushed
1cm piece fresh ginger, peeled and finely grated
1.5 litre vegetable stock
200g vermicelli rice noodles
200g mushrooms, sliced
1 red chilli, thinly sliced (optional)
1 1/2 teaspoons turmeric powder
Juice of 1/2 lime
Leaves from 1/2 bunch coriander
Ground sea salt and pepper

What to do
Heat the oil in a large pan over low heat and sauté the onion and artichokes for 8-10mins until they're nice and sticky and golden.


Add the garlic and ginger and give it a toss. Then add the stock, mushrooms, chilli (if you fancy) and turmeric and bring to the boil. Add in the noodles and simmer until they're cooked through, approx 10mins.



Then it's a matter of just squeezing in the lime juice and seasoning.

If you’re feeling extra peckish then chicken, prawns or fish go well in here, add them at the same stage as the noodles.




Winter come at me, I'm ready.

Suitcase. Tegernsee, Germany - Travel Guide

Image
I take great pleasure from visiting destinations that are a little more under the radar. Sure big capitals like Paris and Barcelona have their drawcards, but there's something majestic and quaint about visiting a smaller town for a few days. Living a local way of life.    Tegernsee is a storybook little town in the Bavarian region of Germany. It's somewhere I've long wanted to visit - my mum was here in the '80s and has often spoken of its magic and charm. Last week, I arrived. I checked into my jaw-dropping home for the next few days - Das Tegernsee and set up camp in my beautiful suite overlooking the lake; complete with balcony, shower large enough to host a party and bath tub with lookout. Whilst spring had arrived there was certainly still plenty of evidence of winter with bare trees, brisk air and snow-covered ground. I stood in wonder on the balcony of my chic alpine chalet, marvelling at the lake and giggling as a trickle of falling snowflakes landed on my nose...

Style It. August Celeb Street Style

Image
This month’s street style round up almost became an ode to Emily Ratajkowski. Her looks have been so on-point throughout August I feel like I’ve seen her in an incredible outfit every single day. To keep it interesting I thought I better find some other babes to round it out, but full props to Emily – I’d love to raid your wardrobe… Dress // Over The Knee Boots // Antique Ring // Ring Pack Here she is in what I think is my favourite look of hers this month. The golden girl of the moment, Emily Ratajkowski looks so chic in a ‘60s inspired white Zimmerman dress and she’s rockin’ those over the knee boots with flair. Lust-worthy. Ribbed Knit Top // Skinny Jeans // Tote Bag // Sandals // Sunglasses // Cuff Bracelet // Bangle Miranda Kerr does transit in laidback luxe style. If only we could all have a limited edition Saint Laurent tote. Sigh. Loving the ribbed knit and cool, casual jeans; she makes a trans-Atlantic flight seem effortless. Bardot Top // Skinny Jeans // Bag // ...
