Video: Zsolt Sandor / MothershipUK We recently got chance to try some Xero Barefoot Running Sandals and discovered two things: they look way pretty and you make them yourself! As we’ve never had handmade shoes before, we figured it had to be worth checking out. You can see from the video just how easy they…
Apricot, Apple and Hemp Protein Smoothie
We’re really starting to rack up the miles for our Yorkshire Marathon training* now and getting a bit obsessed with keeping our weary muscles in tip top shape. We’ve written before about the importance of getting some protein asap after a run – Post-run Refuelling – 15 Minute Countdown – and we’re always trying to add…
5 Words – What Kind Of Runner Are You?
Recently, we decided to find out exactly who you are – the people who follow our chatter, who comment on our posts, who we tweet with, share our running trials and tribulations with, who cook and eat from recipes we create. People we have a bit of a giggle with and feel we know well….
Creamy Paneer and Tomato Curry
Once upon a time, many moons ago, before Bibi was even a twinkle in my eye (gasp, can you imagine such a time ever existed?!), I stayed with the Hare Krishnas. I’m guessing you weren’t expecting the sentence to end like that… Anyway, I’d been travelling and was finally heading home, making my way from…
Pumpkin, Sunflower and Cannellini Pâté
Photo: Zsolt Sandor / Mothership UK Need a protein-packed savoury snack? Then you’ve come to the right place. With seeds and beans in it, this quick and easy pâté packs a great nutritional punch. It’s versatile too: great in sandwiches, with crusty bread, crisp breads, rice cakes and oatcakes or delicious for a picnic with…
Jane Tomlinson Leeds 10k Race Report
Photo: Zoe Illingworth First, can we just say how much we love this photo by Zoe Illingworth, taken in the seemingly interminable queue for the start line at the Jane Tomlinson Leeds 10k. We had no idea she was taking it (clearly I go around grinning gormlessly all the time…) and only came across it…
Cherry Coconut Crunch
At closing time on Saturdays, the traders at our local market get rid of tons of produce for next to nothing, making way for new stock coming in after the weekend. I’ve been known to come home with bags full of plums (jam for the making of), avocados (guacamole, anyone?), tomatoes, cauliflowers, carrots, sweet potatoes,…
Black Dahl with Slow Roasted Tomatoes and Chilli
If you’ve tried our Slow Roasted Tomatoes with Chilli and Garlic, you’ll know that it’s a dish with an intense, savoury-sweet taste that can be used as the basis for loads of other recipes. With just a tiny bit of tweaking, it makes the perfect foundation for this subtly spicy, fresh-tasting black dahl dish. Last…
The Perfect Vegetarian Picnic
It being summertime here in the UK, we’ve been thinking a lot about picnics lately. We’ve noticed that the shops are full of flaccid pies, dreary dips and limp salads, all purporting to be ‘perfect for picnics’. Psht, they’re messing with us! Homemade picnics win by miles. That said, you don’t have to do it…
Vegan Aubergine and Roasted Red Onion Dip
It’s picnic season here in the UK so we’ve been busy cooking up dips, spreads and other forms of transportable deliciousness. This Vegan Aubergine and Roasted Red Onion Dip fits the bill perfectly; we had this along with several other treats for post-race refuelling after the Castle Howard 10k recently. Worth the run for the…
Classic Guacamole
Making your own guacamole is so quick and easy it seems like madness to buy the bland, pappy stuff they sell in supermarkets. This is very simple, mega-tasty and knocks soggy, shop-bought soggy guacamole out of the water. Avocado is a good source of dietary fibre, potassium, B-6 and Vitamin C. It has quite a high…
