The world outside may be a strange place right now, but we’re choosing to embrace the positives that can be gained from this period of staying at home. Creativity is the name of the game, so we’re throwing out the traditional, measured recipes of old and diving into the challenge of experimentation (yes you can make a ‘cottage pie’ with corned beef and baked beans). 

With whatever you have in your cupboards, we encourage you to switch up our suggestions and maybe find a new foodie favourite. Without further ado, here’s our spiced chocolate-banana toast, perfect for sweetening up your breakfast or indulging in a treat with your afternoon cuppa.

Note: we’re not sure this qualifies as an actual recipe, but it’s delicious nonetheless!
