Cooking, Travel & Eating Out on a Grain-Free, Gluten-Free & Refined Sugar-Free Diet
Hollandaise Sauce is one of those things that people are always afraid to try. Along with Mayonnaise, it’s seen as a tough sauce to get right and an easy one to get wrong! But in fact, if you take it slowly and don’t rush, it’s …
The humble poached egg has a reputation for being the hardest kind of egg to cook. It’s also my favourite way to eat eggs (I love a gooey yolk that oozes out all over my Sunday brunch), so I had to work out a pretty …
Lemon Curd is something that reminds me of my childhood. I remember having it on toast or served on scones as a replacement for jam, I also remember mum using it to make Lemon Meringue Pie which is definitely something I’m going to have to …
Sunday always calls for brunch in our house and one of my favourites is Eggs Benedict. There’s something about the Hollandaise Sauce that makes it feel really decadent and it’s even better when you make your own from scratch (avoiding all the thickeners and additives …
Tonight I was in the mood for eggs and we settled on a kind of ‘breakfast for dinner’ type dish. If you like this kind of idea then my Shakshuka (Moroccan Baked Eggs) is also a great breakfast recipe that I often eat in the …

My Grain Free Bread is just the best thing since…sliced bread. It has such a delicious nutty flavour and makes the perfect sandwich bread. It’s great for toasting and is so rich that you only need a really thin slice. Recently though I’ve been thinking …
This weekend was my Mummy’s Birthday and I wanted to make something special for her! She, like me, follows the Specific Carbohydrate Diet. This means no grains, gluten or refined sugar amongst other things, so a traditional cake was definitely out of the question. Last …
Recently I made my delicious Almond Flour Crackers and having tried three different toppings I kept thinking about other flavour combinations to create. I love cheese biscuits so Parmesan came to mind pretty quickly. With such a strong taste, you don’t need much of it …
If you’re anything like me there’s never enough time in the morning to cook a delicious breakfast. Mornings are always a rush and there’s only ever time to grab something quick to eat, but breakfast is so important so I’m trying to be more organised …
One of the things I miss most about the medical diet that I’m on is the crunch of a crisp (potato chip). Sometimes a carrot stick really wont cut it and when everyone has the crisps and dip out it can be tough not to join …
