    Mango Chai & Gingerbread Lime Cheezecake (nut free, dairy free, gluten free, raw)

    Tanya Maher Mango Chai & Gingerbread Lime Cheezecake

    I don’t know about you but for some reason I’m enjoying the festive season even more than ever this year.

     

    Maybe it’s got something to do with this Xmas being the last one of this decade!

     

    Tanya Maher family Christmas

     

    Maybe it’s got something to do with having little children (that help you to become aware and be in awe of every little thing).

     

    Maybe it’s because I don’t have a giant 8.5 month preggie belly like I did last year and in 2015 (so I can do cool and ‘dangerous’ things like ice skating!)

     

    Tanya Maher pregnant Christmas

     

    Maybe it’s the giddy thought of our forthcoming flight to California and spending Christmas Day the American way with my best friend, aka Lake’s Godmama.

     

    Maybe it’s the ecstatic feeling of making New Year’s Eve plans with my sister and the thought of seeing more of her in 2020. (A very Russian belief says that the people you’re welcoming in the new year with are the people you’ll be spending a lot of time with over that new year. It may be superstitious but I’ve always enjoyed choosing my NYE crew thoughtfully- you’re guaranteed a great party if nothing else).

    Maybe it’s because I finally feel like I got my health back and I’ve lots of energy and extra hours in my day to enjoy being alive! (Thanks to LMS Wellness for all the advice and to my fellow Hay House author, Medical Medium for all the info on celery juice, which I’m now drinking for the forth week in a row).

     

    Or maybe it’s all because of our Christmas tree in The Living Room

     

    Or the fact that this is the only month of the year, that we're holding not one, not two, but three Festive In The Wild Afternoon Teas.

     

    Or maybe it's the fact that I had a stall at my first ever (which also happens to be my favourite ever!) Christmas Market this year. Walton Street Market was seriously the best! Reindeer, camels, owls, jazz, traditional organ grinder, the Xmas carols quire, hot kombucha, my cheezecakes not melting, festive vibes for dayzzzz!

     

    Tanya's Deli Walton Street Christmas Market

     

    Or maybe it's because 1st of December landed on a Sunday this year and we kicked off the 2019 festivities at a Christmas lunch with special friends.

    I made this nut-free Mango Chai & Lime Cheezecake on a Gingerbread Base and it was a hit and a half! Now you too can make it...

    Lake Maher and Tanya's Mango Chai & Ginger Lime Cheezecake

    Raw Plant-Based Christmas Hampers are here!

    Raw Plant-Based Christmas Hampers are here!

    You guys,

    This is pretty exciting!

    I've been working around the clock to create the most beautiful, the most delectable, the most special and the most festive hampers of your most healthiest dreams...

    How my days look recently:

    I wake up, get Lake ready for nursery, check the dehydrator, squeeze oranges, get high on smelling brandy, soak more seeds/ nuts/ dried fruits in said o.j. and brandy, blend up the Xmas mince pie 'dough' mixture, spend hours carefully forming the mince pie bases, check the dehydrator, run out of organic supplies, order more online or run (read: crawl with my 8 month bump) to the shops or Tanya's in Chelsea, chop/ blend/ mix/ spread all the ingredients for the grawnola, collect Lake from nursery and keep her entertained by seeing how many soaked almonds she can peel for me, answer questions about the hampers on social, look for another way to entertain a bored toddler, get her involved in sampling everything in the dehydrator (always regret this bit- she eats A LOT!), give Lake a bath, make dinner together, eat and clean up, blend up the Xmas pudding mixture, spend hours forming the puds while listening to Xmas tunes and checking out Lake's latest moves that she wants to show me and to try out for myself of course, do the longest bed time routine imaginable (probably due to a hyper child after dance party), then once she's singing happily to herself in bed at 9pm, I return to the most festively scented kitchen for the final and most peaceful hours left in the day.

    And honestly.. I love every single moment.

    Christmas is truly the most magical time of year and since I really don't know what life with two kids will be like, I wanted to make this Christmas the most satisfying, which very much involves satisfying all of your requests for Raw Organic Xmas Hampers that we've been getting since first opening Tanya's in 2014.

      Slowstar_SW-2000_Main_NoTxt-300x300

      Slowly crushes fruits and vegetables at an incredibly gentle 47 rpm, greatly reducing oxidation for superior juice quality. The vertical design allows juice to pass through quickly, plus the Duoblade™ double-edged auger does twice the work compared to a traditional single auger – making this ‘slow’ juicer extra fast. The mincing attachment turns the Slowstar into a multi-purpose tool to create an array of recipes like sorbets, nut butters, pastes and sauces.

      Bringing you the ultimate in twin gear technology & maximising the benefits of your juice from any masticating juicer, there is no juicer like this one. Not only does it work to carefully crush produce without damaging nutrients, it cold presses the most juice from all greens & provides a 3rd stage- mixing, so that cell membranes can be easily opened to allow even more minerals to be extracted & preserved for longer.

      Raw Breakfast Club is almost here!

      Raw Breakfast Club is almost here!

      Can you believe how close Christmas Day is?

      The idea of Christmas feels especially surreal to me this year, because not long after, Elliot and I will meet our daughter.

      I literally can’t believe I just said that.

      Each time the mini muffin moves inside my belly (ie. all day, every day, each minute, non stop, always), I’m in total amazement at the superpowers of my own body. There’s a real baby in there! Well maybe it’s an alien- it certainly feels like that at times- but then again the other day I felt a teeny tiny foot with five perfect little toes and fell even more in love with this living creation within me.

      So while I hear all sorts of stories about her coming for the world earlier or staying cosy for longer, I’m not going to plan any new workshops till we know for sure…

      That means that THIS Friday's Raw Breakfast Club is not only my final mini workshop for the year, it's the final indefinitely. OMG!

      If you're in London, it's the one morning you'd be glad you slipped out of work for!

      You will meet a bunch of super awesome like-minded people, receive a little Christmas gift from one of our partners, learn how to make living raw Christmas Mince Pies (and take the recipe home) and indulge on the most beautiful and nourishing flavours of this silly season!

      Take a look at the menu...

      IMG_0027 (1)

      So yeah, I’m pretty excited!
