Cooking, Travel & Eating Out on a Grain-Free, Gluten-Free & Refined Sugar-Free Diet
I have a confession to make – I’m taking a couple of weeks off the wine! After our wonderful trip to France and Spain and the many wine tastings we did in Rioja and Bordeaux, I felt like I needed a bit of a break. …
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 …
Arriving in Bordeaux to gorgeous sunshine we were all smiles for the first stop on our road trip tour of Western France and Northern Spain. With our love of wine, Bordeaux was the obvious first stop! We only had 24 hours in Bordeaux so we …
Having enjoyed brunch so much at Andi’s Restaurant a couple of weeks ago, we decided it was time to return and try out the dinner menu. Andi’s Restaurant is the new hot spot on Church St in Stoke Newington, North London. The kitchen is run …

I don’t tend to cook with Pork – it’s just not one of my favourite meats. I find it quite dry and chewy unless it’s a slow roasted cut like a Pork Belly or Pulled Pork. When I saw these enormous pork chops in the …
Having loved the last lentil salad I made (Lentil Salad with Feta & Mint) I decided to use lentils again. I really don’t eat them enough. They’re so filling and so full of protein that they’re extremely good for you. Legumes, beans and pulses don’t …
Hi guys and welcome to a new series I’m trying out – Friday Favourites. My chance to fill you in on all the things I’ve been loving each week. Through my blog I get access to some incredible products. I’m often approached by great small …

Recently I made my delicious Almond Flour Crackers and having tried three different toppings I kept thinking about other flavour combinations to create. I love cheese biscuits so Parmesan came to mind pretty quickly. With such a strong taste, you don’t need much of it …
