Cooking, Travel & Eating Out on a Grain-Free, Gluten-Free & Refined Sugar-Free Diet
Last week I shared with you my Recipe for Gratinated Razor Clams with Chorizo & Parmesan which was the starter dish for my anniversary meal with Dan. We followed it up with these delicious Moules Marinières as the main course. A complete seafood feast! We’ve …
I love finding great local producers and we have just discovered a wonderful seafood supplier down the road from us in Islington, London. I’d had my heart set on Moules Marinières for a special Anniversary evening with Dan so I sent him off while I …
Whenever I ask someone on a grainfree diet what the one thing they miss eating most is, the answer is inevitably bread! I’m no different! I spend a great deal of time in the kitchen coming up with bread alternatives. I have Grain Free Sandwich …
Sticky, sweet, salty and crispy, these bacon wrapped dates are a flavour overload! However, they’re so easy to make and there’s only two ingredients, the bacon and the dates! This makes them perfect appetisers if you follow the SCD or a Paleo diet. Along with …
Do you ever feel left out at cocktail parties? All those delicious canapés being passed around and you can’t eat any of them? Whether they’re breaded, deep-fried or served on a crostini or a cracker, there’s usually a grain element to most hors d’oeuvres. No …

Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus has to be one of the easiest (yet most popular with guests) appetisers I have ever made. It takes 5 mins to prep, has only 3 ingredients and just needs to bake in the oven for 15-20mins. For canapés I estimate around …
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 …
As the weather is getting colder I thought it was time to get out and dust off my Slow Cooker which hadn’t been used since last winter!! I love soup, it’s such an easy way to get a lot of vegetables into your diet and …
This has to be one of the easiest yet most crowd-pleasing appetisers around! 5 minutes prep, 20 minutes in the oven and you have a huge gooey, melted cheese that is perfect for dipping. I like to make my Baked Camembert with garlic and rosemary, …
I love Burrata (in fact I love all cheese!) It’s one of those things that I always order from any menu when I see it offered. In fact I ordered it just last week at our Date Night dinner at Roast Restaurant. There’s something about …
