Recipe incoming. FINALLY. 😂 Only took me three attempts to film it without Instagram eating most of the video before I could edit. 🤦🏻‍♀️
.
This sauce is ridiculously good. Salty, punchy, garlicky, glossy. And it’s even better clinging to my favourite plant-based protein: seitan. High in protein, low in fat, zero cholesterol, and it tears into satisfyingly meaty chunks.
.
Nutritionist bonus: seitan is a bit low in lysine, an essential amino acid. Quinoa is rich in it, so pairing the two gives you a much more complete protein. Science, but make it dinner. 🤓
.
(I usually serve it on quinoa, but hubs was keen to contribute and made rice. Just… not on camera. 😅)
.
THE SAUCE (serves 2)
.
• 2 tbsp salted black soybeans (douchi), rinsed, half of them mashed
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
• 2 tbsp neutral oil (one that handles high heat)
• 2 tbsp Shaoxing wine (or dry sherry)
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tsp sugar
• 120 ml water or veg stock
• 1 tsp cornflour mixed with a splash of cold water
• Chilli flakes or fresh chilli (optional)
• 2 spring onions, sliced (optional)
.
THE METHOD
.
1️⃣ Fry the garlic, ginger, beans and chilli in the oil for about a minute.
2️⃣ Add the Shaoxing wine, let it bubble, then add the soy, sugar and stock. Simmer 2 mins.
3️⃣ Stir in the cornflour slurry and cook until glossy.
4️⃣ Hand-tear your seitan, pan-fry or air-fry until golden and crispy at the edges, then toss it in the sauce.
.
Serve on quinoa, rice, or even pasta, with whatever fresh veg you fancy. 🥦
.
High-protein, plant-based, and soooo delicious. 💪🏼
.
Let me know if you try it! 👇

Gloria Steinem. 1934 to 2026. 💔

If her name only rings a faint bell, let me fix that for you. Because this one is personal...

When Gloria was a brilliant young journalist she was told that newsrooms needed “a reporter, not a pretty girl.” So she became both, and then dominated the game.

She co-founded Ms. Magazine - the first major publication owned, run and written by women. She fought tirelessly for reproductive freedom, equal pay, and freedom from violence. She was famously asked why she wasn’t married and famously answered “I can’t mate in captivity”.

She was an author, activist, champion of LGBTQ+ rights, and her partnership with Dorothy Pitman on Ms Magazine was emblematic of intersectional feminism. She was truly one of the greats, the originals, the women who refused to shrink. And she was still fighting for equality, still protesting injustice, still challenging the status quo at 92… right up until the end.

And of course, Gloria was a lifelong role model of mine… I quite literally built my business in her image. An image which has graced our walls (right next to Dolly 😭) since the day our doors opened. Everything we do here sits on the foundation she helped build.

Every woman who has walked into a room and been taken seriously owes her something. Every woman who walks into our studio does too.

Rest well, Gloria. And thank you. From all of us, but especially from me.

- Nesse 💔

Weekly reminder that Benji and I run a lovely, supportive studio where everyone is welcome and also he is deeply wrong about Reformer.
.
So… Barre or Reformer, comment your pick. Loser buys the coffees (it will be Benji).

✨🩰Last few spots left on our Barre Teacher Training 🩰✨
.
3–7 August, live and in person at Her Space Studio, Parsons Green. Five days, 12–5pm, plus co-teaching and your final certification class — you leave nationally accredited and ready to teach.
.
Our method is built on what barre actually is: the fundamentals of Pilates, strength training and functional fitness, met with the grace, control and full joint rotation of ballet. Real posture work, set to music, taught in our own unique style.
.
We keep it small on purpose — only 6 spots, so it’s genuinely hands-on, not a lecture.
.
Graduates also get first pick of our September class slots if you want to teach with us straight after.
.
3–7 August. Parsons Green.
.
DM us or grab your place via the link in bio 💙

Yes, I train six days a week. Yes, I eat sugar. Both things are true and neither cancels the other out.
.
The exception doesn’t break the rule. But the rule was never perfection. The rule is awareness. It’s balance. It’s letting a bit of joy live in your diet so you can actually sustain it, because the all-or-nothing approach ends one of two ways: burnout or misery. Usually both.
.
A bad diet is a pattern, not a biscuit. Eat the biscuit, drink the wine, keep training, and stop flagellating yourself over food. It was never the enemy.
.
And if you need a little help with your nutrition or fitness goals… you know where to find me.

He’s East End. We’re West End. And together we’ve created the most brilliant women’s health studio in SW6. Ask our clients if you don’t believe us.

(Queue client comments below, PLEASE. 👀)

Barre, Reformer, Strength, Cardio, Stretch, Nutrition consultations, on-site skincare, workshops, and a community that actually shows up for each other.

Bougie? A little. Feminist? You betcha.

Worth it? 💯.

Three minutes’ walk from Parsons Green Tube.

Come join the movement. (And the madness. 😆)

Yes, you read that right.
.
Our very own Queen of Barre, @callmenesse , is now on the Reformer schedule.
.
Wednesdays. 11am.
.
No, Hell has not frozen over. The ballet barre is, was, and will always be her Ride or Die.
.
This is just… a situationship. 🩰
.
She’ll still probably make you plank, though. And will almost certainly throw a pile or two in the mix. 😆
.
It’s available on the schedule now. So, get to booking before she changes her mind.
.

Real talk: here’s what I’m genuinely excited about at our retreat at the end of May…
.
Italian coffee at sunrise. ☕️
.
Classes by the pool when the sun’s out and you can hear nothing except water and olive trees. 🧘🏻‍♀️
.
Sunset over the cypress trees at dinner and that specific golden light that makes everyone look like they’re in a film. 🎥
.
Castello di Ama. Its just EVERYTHING. 🍷🎨🏚️
.
Spending a week with Benjie. (🤫)
.
And most of all, the thing I didn’t expect the first time: you come home with real relationships. Not followers. Women who invite you for coffee. Who text. Because you actually got to be yourself for a week without the school run, the inbox, the performance of it all. 🫶
.
A few rooms left. Small discount on the last spots.
.
Bookings close this Saturday 5th April, because after that I have to actually start booking things in Italy.
.
Link in bio or DM us.

✨ 31 May - 05 June ✨

Six days and five nights in Tuscany. 🇮🇹
.
Morning and evening movement, based in Pilates and overlooking rolling hills.
.�Long lunches with beautiful, seasonal food.
.�Wine that tastes better because you’re not rushing anywhere.
.�Conversations that go deeper than small talk because they’re set in ancient cities or next to sparkling pools.
.
This retreat is luxury — but not the stiff, performative kind. It’s relaxed, intelligent, and deeply restorative.
.�Just a small group of thoughtful, brilliant humans (and @taylorbenji of course), who give themselves space to rest, to laugh, to move, and to indulge… just enough to make it memorable.
.
No pretence. No pressure to be anything other than exactly who you are.
.
If that sounds like your kind of week… you know where to find us. 💙
