Cooking, Travel & Eating Out on a Grain-Free, Gluten-Free & Refined Sugar-Free Diet
I never really had a sweet tooth until I got pregnant, and both times it ended up being what I craved throughout the pregnancy (and the craving didn’t go away afterwards). I used to be a ‘cheese and crackers’ as a snack girl but these …
After making a big batch of my Hollandaise Sauce I was left with some egg whites to use up. I was after something sweet so I decided to make these Refined Sugarfree Coconut Macaroons. They’re so easy to make, one bowl and just mix it …
Nothing quite says Christmas like a mince pie – it really feels like the festive season has started when you get your first taste of that sweet, spiced fruit flavour! It evokes such a festive feeling – we always have a mince pie and a …
One of my favourite lunches is soup, and soup is usually served with a nice crusty bread roll. I love some kind of bread with my soup and sliced bread doesn’t always do it. Sometimes you want something you can rip a chunk off, slather …

It’s been a long-standing joke that 2020 was the year of the banana bread. Being stuck at home, many people have turned to baking and banana bread is an obvious place to start for novice bakers. It’s such an easy recipe to master and once …
For me, the Christmas season always feels like it begins when I make the Christmas Cake. You have to make it in advance and ‘feed’ it (see further down for how to do this) with whisky until the big day so it’s best to start …
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 …
Sometimes you just need something yummy with your afternoon cup of tea. These Almond Flour Thumbprint Cookies really hit the spot when you’re craving a sweet treat but they have no refined sugar in them! Just make sure to use a sugarfree strawberry jam! They’re …
