Cooking, Travel & Eating Out on a Grain-Free, Gluten-Free & Refined Sugar-Free Diet
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 …
I love peas! They have to be one of my favourite veggies. So versatile, easy to cook and I always have a bag on hand in the freezer. The only thing with peas is that they’re not very elegant or sophisticated! A bowl of frozen …
Happy Veganuary everyone!! In the spirit of all things Vegan, my friends and I decided to do an entirely Vegan Feast this January. If you know my friends you’ll know that this was no mean feat! Dedicated carnivores all of them (I was vegetarian for …
This dish has such an autumnal feel to it. There’s something about squash that just screams cosy, comfort food. I use Butternut Squash in my recipes a lot, from my Chorizo & Butternut Squash Frittata to my Roasted Butternut Soup and I’ve cooked Spaghetti Squash …
I don’t have a particularly sweet tooth but even I can’t resist these Cinnamon & Raisin Almond Flour Cookies. You’d never guess that they’re grain, gluten and refined sugar-free as they taste absolutely delicious – better than most other cookies in my opinion. And they’re …

This time of year there are so many beautiful squashes around and squash is so versatile. I love courgettes (zucchini) and usually use them as courgetti instead of pasta in most dishes. I like to roast butternut squash and use it in dishes like my …
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 …
There’s something about a roast lunch that makes a Sunday so special. And it’s even better when you can just pop it in the oven, forget about it for hours, spend time with your guests and just take it out when its done. Previously I’ve …
As much as I love my Grain-Free Bread, (it’s perfect for toast or sandwiches), sometimes I miss the fluffiness and doughiness of a yummy piece of Focaccia. I set about trying to create a recipe that would calm the craving and I think I got …
I’m off to Larnaca, Cyprus in a few days and thinking about the trip has got me all excited for Greek flavours. I love feta cheese and olives and all the grilled meats and can’t wait to make my way through all the mezze that …
