Cooking, Travel & Eating Out on a Grain-Free, Gluten-Free & Refined Sugar-Free Diet
With watercress in season at the moment, and having some left over after I made my delicious Watercress & Pea soup, I decided to try it in a pesto recipe. I’ve previously made Rocket (Arugula) Pesto and I love the fiery kick it has so …
Last week I cooked the obligatory Sunday roast but the thing with roast turkey and all the trimmings is that there’s always so much leftover. I decided to get a bit inventive and instead of the usual turkey sandwiches, I set about creating this Leftover …
I love salads but at this time of year, a cold dinner doesn’t always appeal. This Roasted Sweet Potato Salad with Lentils & Goats Cheese is warm and comforting. It’s the perfect winter lunch or dinner or can even be served as a side dish …
Dan and I were off to Italy again! We had been invited by the Puglia Tourist Board who promised to show us a whole host of things to do in the Salento Region. (Puglia is the southernmost part of Italy or the ‘heel of the …
As my Haricot Bean Houmous (Navy Bean Hummus) turned out so well, I decided to have another go at it but experiment with the flavours. I love Roasted Red Pepper Houmous so I decided to re-create that version using fresh ingredients instead of a store-bought …

I absolutely love houmous (or hummus if you’re from the USA). It’s one of those staples at any party now, everyone’s favourite dip that comes out with the nibbles. You can dip crisps or crudité into it, spread it on bread and it goes fantastically with …
This evening I was in the mood for something light yet tasty and filling. When feeling this way I usually turn to pulses. Beans and lentils really pack a protein punch and seem to keep me feeling full for much longer than anything else. Haricot (Navy) …
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 …
Homemade pesto always tastes so much better than anything you can buy in the shops. This Rocket Pesto – also known as Arugula Pesto is the US – is peppery take on the Italian Classic. Fresher and bursting with flavour from the herbs, it adds …
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 …
