You can easily make this soup recipe midweek. And like all good recipes, you can substitute lots of the ingredients for whatever you have on hand.

The change in season from summer to autumn inspires me to retreat indoors. I love easy dinner nights with friends and family, playing card games and sharing plates laden with crisp grapes, local cheeses and fresh baked sourdough. It's food that can prepared within minutes and left on the table for grazing all through the evening.

I first had a smoothie bowl in Seminyak, back in the days when we could travel to tropical Bali. It was the most beautifully presented breakfast I'd ever seen – vibrant pink berry smoothie topped with lush tropical fruit. Since then I've been making them at home every summer. I've tried lots of combinations of flavours and the chocolate banana combo is my current fave. You're going to love it too, I have no doubt. Plus it's wholesome and healthy!

What better way to say I love you than with a home-baked dessert. This cake ticks all the boxes for me, it's delicious, pretty as a picture and easy! I bake a lot and it's the first time I've used cardamom and rose water in a cake, coupled with the lemony flavour of the icing it's such a treat. I'm sharing the recipe here for you to make for someone special, and yes, that special person can totally be yourself!

This week I'm chatting to Australian stylist Jason Grant, "Home is my creative space, my sanctuary and a place to hide away. The way we live and decorate our home has never been more important. I like my home to be comfortable and creative with a focus on natural style."

I chat to Sarah and Emma from Read & Hall about their daily rituals and the small things that bring them joy. "Slow living to us is prioritising your own needs and is about making the everyday things you do as nice as possible. Feeling good in what you wear, making lovely food for yourself and drinking from a nice cup. All enhances your experience of each day."

After a monumental year I'm aiming for a low stress Christmas, focusing on the little things that mean the most. Being grateful I can be with my family, the sweetness of fresh seasonal fruits and of course, the table looking gorgeous with Winterwares plates and bowls.

There are writers who say that one of the greatest unexpected consequences of writing is that you become a better reader. Just as, I would say, playing and working with flowers can help you become a better observer of the natural world. Anything that helps you focus on what is beautiful and interesting in your daily life, when so much can feel repetitive and mundane and ordinary, is worthy of celebration. Reverence, even.

Over time, the clay was my teacher. I had to let go of my expectations. To be ok with things not turning out as I planned. To let go of outcomes and just enjoy the feeling of the spinning clay. Sculpting clay with my hands connected me with the natural world and something deep within myself, and it taught me to slow down. It was the first of many life lessons that pottery has taught me.
