Cooking, Travel & Eating Out on a Grain-Free, Gluten-Free & Refined Sugar-Free Diet
I don’t have a particularly sweet tooth, luckily for me as I don’t eat any refined sugar (I eat honey and naturally occurring sugars in fruit etc, but no sugar, agave, coconut nectar, stevia etc) but I was really craving something sweet after my dinner tonight. …
This recipe is a really easy one (much easier than making real shortcrust pastry – and much more forgiving). It’s only 4 ingredients and comes together in a flash. It can turn a midweek supper into something that feels much more special and seems like …
A few too many ‘meat-heavy’ BBQs recently meant that we were craving a lighter dinner tonight so we decided that fish should be on the menu. Settling on sea bream I decided to pair it with a lemon and caper butter sauce as I love …
I made my Grain-Free Sun-dried Tomato & Olive Focaccia last week and loved it so much I’ve been dreaming about it ever since! Tonight I decided to make it again but change-up the ingredients. I settled on cherry tomatoes and a homemade rocket pesto to …
Finally it seems Summer has arrived in England – which means more BBQ time! I was heading back home to see my parents tonight and we decided it was time to fire up the barbie and have dinner outside. We had some salmon in the …
I don’t like to buy dips from the supermarket. I find that 99 times out of 100 they will have sugar added, which is so unnecessary (it hides in everything these days) or some sort of binder like potato starch or maize/rice flour or guar …

This weekend, the Great Northern Pub was hosting a 3-day beer festival and despite not being a beer drinker myself, it was going to be a big party so we headed to St Albans to spend the afternoon there. We’d just had a lovely brunch …
Knowing how much of a fan Matilda is of the avocado Aussie Brunch (we travelled together in Australia earlier this year – and ate many brunches!) I picked Granger & Co for a Saturday Brunch Treat. I’d heard great things about the restaurant but never …
Tonight I had my friend Matilda staying with me from Sweden, and last time she was over I saw her eyeing up my spiraliser! Deciding to have a girl’s night in tonight, we settled on cooking a meal together and opening a bottle of wine …
Last night I wanted something light and fresh but still filling and full of good fats and protein to fuel me after my BODYPUMP class. I settled on a Salmon Salad Nicoise – or my version of one – topped with a gooey poached egg …
I was having a few friends over for dinner tonight and my friend Josephine was bringing over a traditional Swedish dinner of herring and caviar to start followed by Salmon and Potato Salad as a main course. Knowing that I wouldn’t be able to eat …
