Cooking, Travel & Eating Out on a Grain-Free, Gluten-Free & Refined Sugar-Free Diet
It just wouldn’t be Christmas or Thanksgiving without some cranberry sauce on your festive table to pair with that delicious turkey, would it? Most cranberry sauce that you buy in a jar is full of sugar and so, because I can’t eat the white stuff, …
The humble poached egg has a reputation for being the hardest kind of egg to cook. It’s also my favourite way to eat eggs (I love a gooey yolk that oozes out all over my Sunday brunch), so I had to work out a pretty …
Some foods only come into their own at a certain Christmassy time of year. Mulled Wine, Turkey and of course Mincemeat. The Christmas season hasn’t really started until you’ve had your first Mince Pie of the year and that spicy, fruity flavour is so comforting …

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 …
