Simple baking with this easy dessert recipe. By adding a hint of Miso brings out the sweetness and the umami flavour hiding in the coconut milk and the fresh apples.

I love this hot, soothing miso soup as a pick-me up at any time of the day. Simply pop the ingredients in a tea cup, top up with hot water, done! Or, bring them to work portioned up and ready to go – perfect for meal prep. You can vary this recipe indefinitely, just include something a little spicy or acidic to lift the salty miso. I like a few spoons of oats in mine to make it a little more substantial, almost like rice!

Matcha is one of my favourite foods! I love its flavour and colour as well as its subtly uplifting effect.

Just as good popped into your bag or lunchbox to keep you going, or with a cup of tea.
