Recipe development for upcoming retreat treats! These smell incredible - they are brown butter & date mini muffins.

I have made them with half flour and half oats and with absolutely no refined sugar but with date syrup instead for sweetness 🥰

I am thinking these would make delicious little after lunch snacks or a wee afternoon pick me up with a cuppa?

I have been enjoying hosting at home so much more since I let go of the idea that everything had to be perfect.

Chances are, if you are inviting someone round for tea, then you're mates - they know you live in your house, so why are we making it look like we don't?! 😅

Nobody cares if things don't match, in fact, I think it looks better when they don't!

Time to relinquish ourselves from this unspoken pressure to show up in a certain way and just invite people in, share space, share food, and have a laugh!

Taking it as easy as possible this January, as many slow days as I can and a quiet return to reality. Hosted twice at home last week, though, and loved cooking for my friends.

Really loving my new book One Pot, Pan, Planet - completely up my street and full of wonderful inspo! I made the quick squash lasagne with gf lasagne sheets for my coeliac bestie and it was delishh!

More from me soon folks, I promise - just a wee bit more hibernation first ❤️

Answering work messages between souks and sunshine ain't half bad!

So excited to have received retreat and wedding enquiries this year already. As I said in my previous post I am taking on less extra work in order to concentrate on this year so if there is something you'd like to work with me on please get in touch ASAP 🙌

Happy New Year lovelies 💖

Sorry, it is all a bit quiet on the Rituals & Roots front, but I'm all consumed with taking good care of our café

If you don't already know, then the reason why it is taking up so much of my time at the moment is because we have an imminent and unexpected move upon us this winter.

Unfortunately, due to reasons beyond our control we only have 3 months left in our wonderful West Street space, where we have been for nearly 8 years.

This move was not on the cards, so we do not have the funds to fulfil it, which is why we are CrowdFunding to help us finance a new space.

For now, that's where I will be, I will be taking on very limited work in 2026 so I can concentrate on the café. Do message enquiries as there is some space available - just not a lot!

I already have 2 retreats in the calendar, which is so exciting, one with down in South Wales and also Dunoon with so please hop onto their pages for more info on those because they are unbelievably glorious weekends (would make fab Christmas pressies!)

Big love as always,

Millie

Celebrating the wonderful volunteers of Berwick Food & Beer Fest 2025 in my fave venue this past Friday 🙌

I do enjoy wearing a few different hats, and stepping out of the kitchen and into event management brings me so much JOY. Community mobilisation, celebration and of course fantastic food & drink - I just love it!

Honestly, I do believe my experience of event management makes me a very helpful addition to your team - even if I am there as a caterer I also have extensive knowledge of everything else going into your event. I therefore can support you, provide a listening ear, advice and understanding of the planning processes etc.

Absolutely gorgeous food for our gathering by who not only provide gorgeous grub but they are lovely people too. A joy to work with ❤️
