Cooking, Travel & Eating Out on a Grain-Free, Gluten-Free & Refined Sugar-Free Diet
Rhubarb is such an autumnal fruit (or is it a vegetable)? It reminds me of roast dinners followed by mum’s homemade rhubarb crumble and custard. The rhubarb was always picked from the garden and tasted incredible. That combination of sour tartness and the sweet crispy crunchy …
This time of year there are so many beautiful squashes around and squash is so versatile. I love courgettes (zucchini) and usually use them as courgetti instead of pasta in most dishes. I like to roast butternut squash and use it in dishes like my …
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 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 …
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 …
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 …
Homemade pesto always tastes so much better than anything you can buy in the shops. This Rocket Pesto – also known as Arugula Pesto is the US – is peppery take on the Italian Classic. Fresher and bursting with flavour from the herbs, it adds …
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 …
So I bet you could see this coming a mile off…this week I’ve made bolognese sauce and béchamel sauce…which obviously come together best in a lasagne! It’s one of those foods that I miss, and to be honest, I’ve never cooked before, mainly because I …
First off, please excuse me for the awful picture showcasing this fantastic recipe. I simply got so excited after realising that making it this way with these ingredients worked, that I set to work, using it in a lasagne and completely forgot to take a …
I fancied a change today from my Tomato Salsa so I came up with this mango version of a classic! Sweeter and more summery than traditional salsa but still packing a punch from the chilli, this is a great alternative and it’s perfect with vegetable …
I don’t like to buy dips from the supermarket. I find that 99 times out of 100 they will have sugar added, which is so unnecessary (it hides in everything these days) or some sort of binder like potato starch or maize/rice flour or guar …
