Pan Fried Padron Peppers – one of the easiest dishes to make and the perfect appetiser to serve with drinks or as a side to some tapas! These salty, smoky, tasty treats are honestly so easy to make, it’s almost embarrassing to call this a …
When the temperature goes over 30 degrees (like it has every day this week) the last thing I feel like doing is switching on the oven. I also don’t usually fancy eating anything hot either, but I still want something really tasty for dinner. Tonight, …
I’ve made blinis with coconut flour before and while I can’t discern much of a coconutty flavour in them, others can. I decided to try to create the recipe in a similar way using chickpea (garbanzo bean) flour. Chickpea flour worked so well in my …
Ask anyone on a Grainfree or Paleo diet what is the one thing they miss the most, and the answer is always…Pizza! It’s probably my favourite food in the world, or maybe it’s bread, or maybe its nachos… Anyway, now there’s no reason to miss …

It was Dan’s birthday so it was cake time! Cakes are always tricky in our house, two of us are grain-free, one doesn’t eat chocolate and one eats everything! Carrot cake got the thumbs up from everyone so I set about making a grain-free one…to …
Sunday Brunch is an institution in our house! Whether it’s a fancy restaurant with friends for a Champagne Brunch or a relaxed brunch at home, we always try to make it a bit special. It’s not just the meal to replace breakfast and lunch, it …
