Our Most Loved, Original Recipes

We love creating new recipes for you every week, but we do have a soft spot for some of our old favourites. Some of them have been with us for nearly a decade, but have stood the test of time: we still love them, and so do our community. Here we've rounded up some of our most-loved recipes that might just give you a taste of nostalgia (hello, sweet potato brownies!). If you're new to Deliciously Ella, these are some of the best recipes to start with.

Golden Turmeric Latte

This golden turmeric latte is a great warming drink to enjoy before bed. The mixture of turmeric, ginger and cinnamon is so soothing and creates a delicious flavour. We love to use a milk-frother to make it extra creamy but it’s also delicious just warmed through on the hob.

Sweet Potato Brownies With Chocolate Sauce

Our original recipe for sweet potato brownies was so popular that we've tried to make them even better for you. We wanted something gooier, richer, more chocolatey and all round more indulgent and these are the result of that. I promise you’d never know there was any veg in here at all!

Pesto pasta is one of my all time favourite meals, it’s my absolute go-to comfort food! So I decided to experiment with a cashew pesto to get a delicious variation on this classic pasta dish.

It’s also such a quick and simple recipe too, the perfect weeknight supper!
