Banana Peanut Butter Chocolate Smoothie

Liquids
The best way to start your day. I have included a healthy and a naughty version below.
  1. In a blender, add the Bananas, 1 Tbsp Peanut Butter, Milk and Ice.  Blitz until smooth.
  2. In a tall glass take your Chocolate Sauce and twirl it around your glass.
  3. Pour in the the Smoothie and then for an extra treat add a spoonful of Peanut Butter to spoil yourself!
Top Treat

Add a tsp of Vanilla paste for a truly delicious smoothie.

Or for a healthy version…

Use Soya Milk, 1 Tbsp whole nut Peanut Butter only and sprinkle in 1 tsp Cocoa instead of Chocolate Sauce.

A Gucci Holiday Jumper

Collaborations • London • Outfits
A Christmas jumper seems to have become an essential holiday garment. Most are far to garish for me. Gucci solved all these concerns this season with this fabulous option. Disregarding the traditional red and green, I love these icy tones instead.

Beetroot Arancini

Nibbles • Party Planning • Savoury • Starters
These little Venetian nibbles are a delightful start to a supper or canapé. I love to serve them on salad leaves straight out of the fryer so that the cheese is still gooey.
  1. Melt the Butter and Olive Oil over a low heat and add the Onion and crushed Garlic. Stir and cover with a lid for 15mins or until the Onions are clear and totally soft.
  2. Add the Rice and Beetroot and stir well.
  3. Turn the heat to medium/low and add the Wine and allow to bubble and absorb in.
  4. Then add the Stock in the same way, little by little, allowing time for it to absorb. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  5. When the rice is aldente, remove from the heat and allow to cool to handleable temperatures. (I make it the night before).
  6. In a bowl beat one Egg and mix it into the Risotto.
  7. Beat the other Egg in a bowl and place the Breadcrumbs in another bowl, tossing in the Salt and Pepper.
  8. Taking a Tbsp of Risotto, use the back of a spoon to flattern and shape into a well.
  9. Take a chunk of Mozzarella (the size of small grape) and place it in the well. Then add a tsp of Risotto on top and seal it into a ball with your hands. Try and squeeze any air out of the centre (or this could cause it to pop open in the frier).
  10. Roll the ball in the beaten Egg and then the Breadcrumbs and set aside for frying.
  11. Once you have completed all the balls, heat your Oil in a pan deep enough to cover the balls completely (or use a deep fat fryer on Medium).
  12. Fry each ball for approximately 5-10mins. Until golden brown and crispy.  Serve straightaway.
Party Planning

You can Refrigerate them at this stage and reheat them for a party in a 200ºC oven for 10mins.
