Cooking, Travel & Eating Out on a Grain-Free, Gluten-Free & Refined Sugar-Free Diet
I don’t tend to cook with Pork – it’s just not one of my favourite meats. I find it quite dry and chewy unless it’s a slow roasted cut like a Pork Belly or Pulled Pork. When I saw these enormous pork chops in 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) …
I love a roast dinner – there’s something about it that feels so homely, and with friends of ours coming over for dinner (who have recently emigrated to Hong Kong) I decided to do a traditional British supper to welcome them back to the country. …
Off to a BBQ today I wanted to make a delicious side dish to pair with all the meat and fish we would be eating. It’s the first real weekend of sunshine that we’ve had here this year and I felt in the mood for …
Last night’s dinner was a follow-on from Madrid. When telling Dan all about my trip, I realised that I hadn’t eaten Gambas Al Ajillo (Garlic & Chilli Prawns/Shrimp) once on the whole trip, so to rectify it we decided to make it at home, and …
On a cold winter’s morning, there’s nothing like a warming bowl of spicy baked eggs to brighten the day and this Shakshuka is a Moroccan Baked Eggs Recipe. Originating in North Africa it is now also popular all over the Middle East. There are many …

(Zucchini Noodles – Zoodles – with Garlic, Chilli & Jumbo Shrimp) Apparently, there is a courgette (zucchini) shortage in London (I’m actually not joking) that I was completely unaware of. My mum told me about it – it’s been on the news and everything! From …
Whenever I go to a French Restaurant for dinner I often choose Duck Confit as a main dish. It always tastes so decadent, I love the melt-in-your-mouth meat and the crispy skin but it seemed like a tough dish to cook. I did a bit …
Firstly I’d just like to wish everyone a HAPPY NEW YEAR! I hope 2017 brings you all health, happiness and prosperity and that you and your loved ones have had fun celebrating the festive season. We spent our New Years in Madrid (more about that …
It was Sunday Lunch at my parents’ house, and for my dad’s birthday and we’d bought an absolutely incredible piece of meat from our local farmshop. My favourite roast is Roast Prime Rib of Beef so we went all out and bought this beauty! …
A classic, warming, slow-cooked French Dish today – Coq Au Vin (or at least my version of it, as apparently traditional Coq Au Vin adds chicken blood to the sauce – but I didn’t find that idea very appetising! Start by melting the butter (or …
