Cooking, Travel & Eating Out on a Grain-Free, Gluten-Free & Refined Sugar-Free Diet
Bolognese Sauce (or Bolognaise as the English call it) is that classic Italian dish that everyone seems to have a different recipe for. Below is mine which I’ve perfected over many years and many attempts. This is the way I prefer to cook and eat it. …
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 …
Curry is a great choice on a grain-free diet. In fact, I already have recipes on the blog for my Spicy Chicken Curry and my Zanzibar Coconut Chicken Curry. Most authentic curry houses don’t use any thickeners in their sauces. If they make it fresh, …
Having guests over tonight – and with a whole day to cook (what with it being Saturday and not having to go to work) I decided to cook something that takes a bit more time, but which also could be left alone in the oven …

If you follow my Instagram you’ll have seen the delicious picture I posted of an amazing fish lunch that I had recently at 2Passos Restaurant in the Algarve, Portugal. A beautiful whole Dorade (Sea Bream) baked in the oven on a bed of onions, tomatoes …
When the sun is shining, there’s nothing better than a bit of al-fresco cooking and dining! Who wants to sweat in a hot kitchen when you can be outdoors cooking in the fresh air? With plenty of people heading off on their holidays at the …

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) …
