Adopting a vegan lifestyle five years ago was one of my best decisions. Though the start was confusing, I gradually adapted, learning through vegan cooking classes and earning certifications in Plant-Based Nutrition and general nutrition to maintain my health and energy.

While it's a debated topic, I believe travel is essential for work and leisure, even if we aspire to reduce emissions through sailing, walking, and cycling. In reality, sustainable travel may not always be feasible.

Since the average person sleeps for about 8 hours a day, they will spend approximately 229,961 hours sleeping over their lifetime, which is about one-third of their life. Therefore, investing time and resources to make your bedroom as comfortable as possible is a worthwhile decision.

Whenever people say they dislike salads or find them boring, I feel inspired to cook for them! Salads don't have to be cold or dull; with a few simple tweaks, they can become satisfying and incredibly delicious.

While retreats often carry spiritual connotations, you don’t need to be soul-searching to take a week off. I attended a detox retreat in Portugal five years ago and loved the experience. It offered a sunny getaway with airport transfers, engaging sports and activities, and the option to connect with like-minded individuals, making it a comforting way to relax and enjoy some sunshine.

One thing is certain: we will all encounter challenging times. Our hopes and dreams may not always come true, people will disappoint us, and random, painful events can occur for no reason. While we can't avoid certain circumstances, I've embraced my own challenges and learned valuable lessons that I'd like to share.

It's hard to believe we're launching a second dedicated vegan menu at The Merrion Hotel! If you'd told me last year that I'd be creating a menu for one of Dublin's finest hotels, I wouldn't have believed it. The first menu, featuring three options and three courses along with three sides from my cookbook Vegan-ish, was a surreal experience, and I often received lovely messages from guests enjoying it.

There’s something so comforting about crumble. This is so quick to assemble and the fruit used is interchangeable, so go with what you have. It’s also equally delicious warmed up the next day for breakfast!

My 2019 started with binge-watching Taylor Swift's concert on Netflix and Marie Kondo's show. I'm gradually applying her tidying method to various areas of my home, and my bathroom was in need of a much-overdue overhaul.

I'm thrilled to finally share the news: Vegan-ish is coming to The Merrion Hotel! This has been in the works for a few months, and I'm delighted to have collaborated with head chef Ed Cooney and the team to bring recipes from Vegan-ish to life in The Garden Room.

As 2018 comes to a close with sustainability on our minds, I’d like to share my simple tips for maintaining a mindful wardrobe. As a style lover who needs to look polished for events, buying new items is sometimes unavoidable. Here are some rules I follow to keep my wardrobe in check.

When it comes to beauty, I believe in prioritising the fundamentals, with dental care being a key element. There are countless quotes stating that your smile is your best accessory, and that’s true—as long as you’re happy with your smile.

A few months ago, I attended a meditation morning and realised I needed to address my sleep issues. After sharing this on Instagram, I received numerous helpful tips.

Whilst I love granolas and sweeter options, this is deliciously savoury. It's so satisfying and really quick to make. 

While many granolas are available on the market, nothing compares to homemade versions. Making your own granola is a comforting and economical way to feed hungry families, especially since oats are inexpensive when bought in bulk. Once you start making granola regularly, you'll likely have a variety of dried fruits and seeds on hand, allowing you to personalise the recipe based on your preferences or available ingredients.

I'm writing this nearly a week on from when Vegan-ish first launched and it's quite surreal as so much has happened! 

This pesto is not only gorgeous but incredibly versatile. You can slather it on bread to elevate a simple sandwich or mix it into a bowl of pasta for a quick and comforting meal. While it’s best enjoyed fresh, it only takes three minutes to prepare and blend!

These flavourful beetroot, chickpea, and miso vegan burgers are a delicious and nutritious option for any meal!

As many of you know, I’ve been vegan for almost four years now. My decision was driven by environmental and animal welfare concerns.

These past few years have been incredible as I’ve navigated the journey, constantly learning and educating myself. So far, I’ve completed...
