Pan Fried Padron Peppers  – one of the easiest dishes to make and the perfect appetiser to serve with drinks or as a side to some tapas!  These salty, smoky, tasty treats are honestly so easy to make, it’s almost embarrassing to call this a 

Chocolate Covered Coconut Bars

Growing up as a kid it was pretty clear to everyone what my mum’s favourite chocolate bar was.  It was definitely a bounty bar.  She just loves the combination of coconut and chocolate and when they made an ice-cream version it was like all her

When the temperature goes over 30 degrees (like it has every day this week) the last thing I feel like doing is switching on the oven.   I also don’t usually fancy eating anything hot either, but I still want something really tasty for dinner.  Tonight, 

Raw Lemon Curd Cheesecake

Raw Lemon Curd Cheesecake

I’m not a huge fan of desserts or sweet things – I’d rather have a cheese plate at the end of a meal, but if I’m going to order a dessert it would be cheesecake 100% of the time.  Knowing this, my lovely mother decided

Lemon Curd is something that reminds me of my childhood.  I remember having it on toast or served on scones as a replacement for jam,  I also remember mum using it to make Lemon Meringue Pie which is definitely something I’m going to have to 

Slowcooked Paleo Meatballs

Slowcooked Paleo Meatballs

Meatballs must be the ultimate in comfort food – ‘Just like mamma used to make!’  I love them, but usually, when you eat them in a restaurant,  they use breadcrumbs to bind them. The breadcrumbs help the meatballs to hold together during cooking but unfortunately,

Grainfree Almond Flour Raisin Scones

Is there anything more quintessentially British than a classic Cream Tea?  I thought afternoon tea would be a thing of the past when I started this grain-free, sugar-free way of eating but, as always, there’s a way to adapt any recipe to suit this plan.
