Cooking, Travel & Eating Out on a Grain-Free, Gluten-Free & Refined Sugar-Free Diet
Recently, a friend of mine celebrated her 40th birthday and hired a Villa in Cassis. We were all invited for the weekend with a special treat for lunch on her actual birthday. A 7-course tasting menu at 2 Michelin starred Villa Madie, Cassis.Set just a …
My Grain Free Bread is just the best thing since…sliced bread. It has such a delicious nutty flavour and makes the perfect sandwich bread. It’s great for toasting and is so rich that you only need a really thin slice. Recently though I’ve been thinking …
This has to be one of the easiest yet most crowd-pleasing appetisers around! 5 minutes prep, 20 minutes in the oven and you have a huge gooey, melted cheese that is perfect for dipping. I like to make my Baked Camembert with garlic and rosemary, …
A few years ago we were visting Biarritz for Dan’s birthday treat and I wanted to surprise him with a delicious meal. I did some research and chose L’Etable as a place I thought he’d love to eat at. Rustic and authentic it was exactly …

Jumbo Shrimp are a staple on most menus in Portugal. Grilled and served with garlic butter or oil and lemon they’re absolutely delicious. In fact 2Passos Restaurant does the most amazing ones I’ve ever tasted. The only drawback is the price, they’re extortionate in restaurants. …
One of the things I love most about my annual trip to Portugal, is getting to spend quality time with my godson Ethan. He’s on school holidays for the summer so I was thrilled to be getting him for an entire day and we all …
This year we went to Marufos after our visit to Armona Island as we’d had a long day and didn’t want to spend an hour getting ready to go out somewhere fancy. We got home, jumped in the pool, threw on clean beach clothes and …
Having visited Biarritz a couple of times now, I’ve definitely got a very soft spot for this gorgeous town. A seaside town steeped in history, it’s where old-school glamour merges with a cool, surf vibe. A place where you can promenade along the beach, eat …
