Whip up this tasty lunch in minutes – not just a treat for the taste buds but great for your health too.

I love the freshness of the basil and tomatoes, combined with the creamy avocado and crunch of the warm sourdough bread.

Avocados boast 35% more potassium than your average banana and are also rich in vitamins E, K and B, so get stuck in!

What you’ll need:

1 avocado

5 cherry tomatoes, halved

Fresh basil leaves

2 slices of sourdough bread, toasted

A squeeze of lime

Olive oil

Black pepper

Simply mash the avocado roughly then mix with the tomatoes and basil, and squeeze in some lime juice. Then drizzle olive oil over the freshly toasted sourdough and spread the mixture on thickly. Season with black pepper and enjoy every tasty mouthful.

Yummy soup at I Heart Cafe

Just discovered this little gem of a cafe on Elm Row when meeting a friend for an after work cuppa. Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff and tasty, freshly cooked grub!

Only after I had ordered the cream of tomato and vegetable soup did I spot the authentic looking tortilla – Spanish omelette – only my favourite food from the year I lived in Spain! (Well, that and churros con chocolate…)

The drinks list looked good, with some of my favourites like Innis and Gunn and William Bros Midnight Sun on offer. The breakfast and brunch menu looked scrummy too.

The best thing is this cosy place is open until 8pm, giving us Leith dwellers a good alternative to the pub after work.

I heart cafe, I’ll be back…
