Cooking, Travel & Eating Out on a Grain-Free, Gluten-Free & Refined Sugar-Free Diet
Do you ever feel left out at cocktail parties? All those delicious canapés being passed around and you can’t eat any of them? Whether they’re breaded, deep-fried or served on a crostini or a cracker, there’s usually a grain element to most hors d’oeuvres. No …
This weekend Dan and I were in Puglia to celebrate the festival of the Tavole di San Giuseppe. ‘The table of St Joseph.’ We’ve been to Puglia before but never to the Salento region (the very South part). We were lucky enough to be staying …
This weekend I was off on a trip to Newcastle to sample the city’s culinary delights. Newcastle is probably not the first place you’d think of as a Foodie Paradise so I was intrigued to see what the city had to offer. This weekend was …
Today I’d been invited to try the menu at Iberica Restaurant. Normally I take Dan to these things but today I’d chosen to take my mum because she’s a big tapas sceptic! She’s only had tapas a few times before but she’s never really been …
It’s not very often that you get the opportunity to be a tourist in your own city. Living in London it’s all too easy to take this amazing place for granted. That’s why I jumped at the chance when TripAdvisor gave me the opportunity to …

PerBacco (meaning Oh Wow! in Italian) is a relatively new Italian restaurant on the Fulham Rd in Parsons Green. It’s only been open for about 3 months but already it has had some fantastic reviews on Trip Advisor. Chef Stefano is in the process of …
Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus has to be one of the easiest (yet most popular with guests) appetisers I have ever made. It takes 5 mins to prep, has only 3 ingredients and just needs to bake in the oven for 15-20mins. For canapés I estimate around …
Tonight we’d been invited to the The Dead Dolls House in Islington, London! The name conjures up all sorts of imagery so we were intrigued to find out what was in store for us. I’m not sure what I was expecting, maybe a house of …
This weekend my mum and I were spending a night at the Hilton, Syon Park. We were booked in for a Spa Treatment at the Kallima Spa. This would be followed by a 3-course dinner in the Marco Pierre White Restaurant and an overnight stay. …
There’s a new restaurant opened up in South Quay, Canary Wharf that’s causing a bit of a buzz. Jazzgir has only been open for a few months but it’s already making a name for itself in the area. We were invited along one night to …
