Cooking, Travel & Eating Out on a Grain-Free, Gluten-Free & Refined Sugar-Free Diet
A few weeks ago when I made dinner for my Swedish Friends, I made this Lentil Feta Mint Salad and promised you all the recipe. Well, I made it again last night and took note of the quantities this time around to share with you …
This weekend we had escaped out of London to a beautiful country house about an hour’s drive away. We were staying with another 4 couples (all friends of Dan’s from University) and a couple of kiddies and had planned to chill out and spend a …
A week has flown by and I’m on my holiday now! The one that I was desperately looking forward to this time last week. By the time you read this I’ll have visited Bordeaux and be on the way to the next leg of our …
So I bet you could see this coming a mile off…this week I’ve made bolognese sauce and béchamel sauce…which obviously come together best in a lasagne! It’s one of those foods that I miss, and to be honest, I’ve never cooked before, mainly because I …
Getting time with my family is one of my favourite things about Portugal, and tonight was a chance to catch up with my cousin Charlotte and her partner Ross who live out here year-round. We were spending the evening at one of their (and my) …

Read about my hike to Cap de Creus here! Cadaques, a little fishing port on the Catalan Coast in Spain was the destination for this week as I was spending the week with Dan and his extended family on their summer trip. I’d never been before and …
Ok, so this is hardly a recipe (throw some fruit in a bowl, scatter over some mint, sprinkle over a secret dressing and it’s done) but it looked so spectacular and went down so well when I served it at a recent BBQ that I …
So, after the Roasted Peach, Feta & Pistachio Salad, the second salad that I decided on for our BBQ lunch was this Grilled Halloumi Salad. Halloumi is always a crowd pleaser and I think it should be at every BBQ, although if you can’t eat …
Tonight was a dinner out with Dan’s family and as his brother Chris is due to have his baby any day now (and his girlfriend Emma-obviously Chris isn’t having the baby), it was suggested that they stay near home and we meet them at a local restaurant. They …
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 …
