Cooking, Travel & Eating Out on a Grain-Free, Gluten-Free & Refined Sugar-Free Diet
This weekend, the Great Northern Pub was hosting a 3-day beer festival and despite not being a beer drinker myself, it was going to be a big party so we headed to St Albans to spend the afternoon there. We’d just had a lovely brunch …
Knowing how much of a fan Matilda is of the avocado Aussie Brunch (we travelled together in Australia earlier this year – and ate many brunches!) I picked Granger & Co for a Saturday Brunch Treat. I’d heard great things about the restaurant but never …
Tonight I had my friend Matilda staying with me from Sweden, and last time she was over I saw her eyeing up my spiraliser! Deciding to have a girl’s night in tonight, we settled on cooking a meal together and opening a bottle of wine …
Last night I wanted something light and fresh but still filling and full of good fats and protein to fuel me after my BODYPUMP class. I settled on a Salmon Salad Nicoise – or my version of one – topped with a gooey poached egg …
I was having a few friends over for dinner tonight and my friend Josephine was bringing over a traditional Swedish dinner of herring and caviar to start followed by Salmon and Potato Salad as a main course. Knowing that I wouldn’t be able to eat …

This month it was my turn to be treated to date night and Dan had planned a surprise evening for me – I prefer not to know where we’re going until the last minute, whereas he likes to pick where he goes! I guess he …
Tonight I fancied a salad, and having pears to use up I wanted one that would incorporate them. Normally I’d turn to my old fail-safe: Pear, Blue Cheese and Walnut salad, but tonight I decided to try something different. I love the combination of salty …
90 mins of Power Yoga left me aching in a good way and wanting to do some more exercise. We had plans to meet Dan’s family tonight in Hampstead for dinner, so we decided to walk there as all in all it would probably be …
This morning’s breakfast came about because I wanted to use a piece of my Grain Free Bread! I looked through the fridge and decided to make a chorizo scramble to top the bread with. A bit more exciting and tasty than traditional scrambled eggs, but …
Tonight I decided to give the new-to-me method of massaging kale a go. Loving other people’s food blogs and keeping up with the foodie world, it’s something I’ve seen talked about a lot recently but never had a go at myself. My go-to method of …
