Cooking, Travel & Eating Out on a Grain-Free, Gluten-Free & Refined Sugar-Free Diet
After making a big batch of my Hollandaise Sauce I was left with some egg whites to use up. I was after something sweet so I decided to make these Refined Sugarfree Coconut Macaroons. They’re so easy to make, one bowl and just mix it …
Nothing quite says Christmas like a mince pie – it really feels like the festive season has started when you get your first taste of that sweet, spiced fruit flavour! It evokes such a festive feeling – we always have a mince pie and a …
Easter is nearly here and nothing screams Easter more than Hot Cross Buns. That sweet, cinnamon and fruit flavour reminds me of Easter afternoons in front of the fire and I love a toasted Hot Cross Bun with lashings of melted butter. I knew I …
It’s Shrove Tuesday soon and it wouldn’t be Pancake Day without Pancakes for dessert! Every Pancake Day my mum used to make us lemon and sugar-filled crepes (I think my record might even have been 6! once) but these days my diet has changed and …
Brownies – the ultimate in decadent treats! Fudgy, gooey, squidgy bites of chocolatey deliciousness – can you tell I’m a fan? I’ve made Grainfree Brownies previously using almond flour and coconut milk but there’s been a lot of hype recently about black bean brownies so …
Truffles – you either love them or you hate them. I love them and think there are few things out there more decadent that the taste of those strange-looking little black fungi. They make everything that bit more special, from pizzas to pasta to risotto. …
It’s been a long-standing joke that 2020 was the year of the banana bread. Being stuck at home, many people have turned to baking and banana bread is an obvious place to start for novice bakers. It’s such an easy recipe to master and once …
If you’re off the alcohol for whatever reason, this drink is something delicious that really fills that Friday evening cocktail gap! It’s an adult mocktail that isn’t full of refined sugar or tons of fruit juice like so many of the options out there. I’ve …
For me, the Christmas season always feels like it begins when I make the Christmas Cake. You have to make it in advance and ‘feed’ it (see further down for how to do this) with whisky until the big day so it’s best to start …
Some foods only come into their own at a certain Christmassy time of year. Mulled Wine, Turkey and of course Mincemeat. The Christmas season hasn’t really started until you’ve had your first Mince Pie of the year and that spicy, fruity flavour is so comforting …
Growing up as a kid it was pretty clear to everyone what my mum’s favourite chocolate bar was. It was definitely a bounty bar. She just loves the combination of coconut and chocolate and when they made an ice-cream version it was like all her …
I’m not a huge fan of desserts or sweet things – I’d rather have a cheese plate at the end of a meal, but if I’m going to order a dessert it would be cheesecake 100% of the time. Knowing this, my lovely mother decided …
