She pairs it with toast and enjoys a pre-breakfast snack of papaya with lime, highlighting her habit of starting mornings with fruit.
"I love simple scrambled eggs... today I just fancy something a little extra."

Baked Apples for Cozy Comfort
Tish moves into a comforting, seasonal breakfast with baked apples. She explains her preference for baking over stewing for a slower, more indulgent texture. Using Jonah Gold apples, she stuffs them with coconut oil, cinnamon, and raisins, then wraps them in parchment paper to soften and collapse beautifully. Served with coconut yogurt and chopped pecans, this dish is a nourishing, healing treat.
"This doesn't really qualify as a proper breakfast for me... but it feels super nourishing, super healing."
"I find that if you wrap them in parchment paper they get really really soft they almost collapse."
"Look at this when I break the apple open... the steam coming out, those raisins, that cinnamon inside, just so damn good."
Key points:
- Baked apples as a warm, comforting breakfast or snack
- Use of parchment paper to achieve soft, collapsed texture
- Flavor layering with cinnamon, raisins, and coconut oil
- Served with coconut yogurt and nuts for added texture and protein
- Seasonal apple variety enhances flavor experience
Cacao Porridge with Protein Boost
On a chilly morning, Tish opts for a cacao-infused porridge, adding depth and warmth with cinnamon, nutmeg, and lime peel. She soaks oats but cooks them fresh this time, mixing in protein powder (Form brand, unflavored) and full-fat coconut milk for creaminess. Blueberries are cooked down as a topping, along with hemp seeds and yogurt, creating a nutrient-dense, balanced breakfast.
"I've been loving adding cacao to my porridge... I think I've got some blueberries too so I might cook them down."
"I love absolutely love this one [protein powder]... I can't really take the sweeteners in a lot of things."
"I always end up adding some thick creamy coconut milk at the end when cooking my porridge."
"The combination of the cacao with the cooked down blueberries and that yogurt hemp seeds perfect perfect perfect."
Key points:
- Cacao adds a rich, slightly bitter flavor balanced with honey
- Protein powder inclusion for sustained energy
- Coconut milk enhances texture and richness
- Blueberries cooked down for a warm, fruity topping
- Hemp seeds and yogurt add healthy fats and probiotics
Crispy Potato Rosti with Smoked Salmon
Tish satisfies a craving for crispy comfort food with a homemade potato rosti. She grates potatoes, squeezes out excess moisture, and mixes in spring onions, salt, pepper, flour, and Parmesan for binding and flavor. Cooked in butter and oil for a golden crust, she serves it with smoked salmon, a soft-boiled "jammy" egg, crème fraîche, and fresh dill. She notes that parboiling potatoes beforehand can improve texture but still achieves great results without it.
"I don't know what it is about rosti when it gets cold it's just something that I crave every now and then."
"Make sure you squeeze out as much excess liquid as possible."
"I also added a little bit of crème fraîche on the side... you could add some sour cream or leave it out."
"Parboiled potatoes if you par boil them and then grate them you're always going to get a really really good rosti."
Key points:
- Potato rosti as a crispy, comforting breakfast option
- Importance of removing excess moisture for crispiness
- Addition of Parmesan for flavor and binding
- Classic pairing with smoked salmon, soft-boiled egg, and fresh dill
- Optional crème fraîche or sour cream for creaminess
Fridge Raid Frittata to Use Up Leftovers
On Friday, Tish embraces a "fridge raid" frittata, using up leftover vegetables like cabbage, red pepper, courgette, onion, and steamed sweet potato. She sautés the veggies with tamari and oregano, then pours whisked eggs over them and bakes the frittata in the oven. Topping it with pesto, feta, and fresh parsley adds brightness and richness. She describes this as a beloved, go-to recipe that feels like a rediscovery.
"When Friday comes around I'm usually looking at my fridge to see what I can get rid of any odds and ends."
"There's something about cabbage in a frittata like nothing compares."
"I drizzled on some shop bought pesto, crumbled over some feta, threw over some fresh parsley."
"It was like eating a frittata for the first time."
Key points:
