Cooking, Travel & Eating Out on a Grain-Free, Gluten-Free & Refined Sugar-Free Diet
I absolutely love houmous (or hummus if you’re from the USA). It’s one of those staples at any party now, everyone’s favourite dip that comes out with the nibbles. You can dip crisps or crudité into it, spread it on bread and it goes fantastically with …
This weekend was my Mummy’s Birthday and I wanted to make something special for her! She, like me, follows the Specific Carbohydrate Diet. This means no grains, gluten or refined sugar amongst other things, so a traditional cake was definitely out of the question. Last …
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 …
Having loved the last lentil salad I made (Lentil Salad with Feta & Mint) I decided to use lentils again. I really don’t eat them enough. They’re so filling and so full of protein that they’re extremely good for you. Legumes, beans and pulses don’t …
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) …

Figs have two main growing seasons so I’ve just found out! The first is now, before the summer and the second is in the autumn. This means that at the moment there is an abundance of figs in the stores. I found some mini figs …
When 3pm hits and you want something sweet, instead of reaching for the chocolate or processed cookies go for something much healthier! Cut yourself a slice of this delicious Grain Free Banana Bread. Free from any nasties and full of good-for-you ingredients you can have …
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 …
If you’re anything like me there’s never enough time in the morning to cook a delicious breakfast. Mornings are always a rush and there’s only ever time to grab something quick to eat, but breakfast is so important so I’m trying to be more organised …
