Cooking, Travel & Eating Out on a Grain-Free, Gluten-Free & Refined Sugar-Free Diet
I love peas! They have to be one of my favourite veggies. So versatile, easy to cook and I always have a bag on hand in the freezer. The only thing with peas is that they’re not very elegant or sophisticated! A bowl of frozen …
When planning our honeymoon, Dan and I both knew that we wanted it to involve wine. Wine has been a passion of both of ours for a long time and our love for it definitely increased when we did the WSET wine accreditation course. Heading …
Last week I cooked the obligatory Sunday roast but the thing with roast turkey and all the trimmings is that there’s always so much leftover. I decided to get a bit inventive and instead of the usual turkey sandwiches, I set about creating this Leftover …
Happy Veganuary everyone!! In the spirit of all things Vegan, my friends and I decided to do an entirely Vegan Feast this January. If you know my friends you’ll know that this was no mean feat! Dedicated carnivores all of them (I was vegetarian for …
Wedding over, we were off on our mini-moon and the destination was Borghetto sul Mincio in Northern Italy. Italy is such a special place for Dan and I. He took me on a tour of Puglia for my birthday a few years back and we …

Spending our mini-moon in the town of Borghetto sul Mincio in North Italy was such an idyllic trip. And being less than 10km from Lake Garda we went there practically every day. The first few days we hired bikes or took the public buses or …
Rhubarb is such an autumnal fruit (or is it a vegetable)? It reminds me of roast dinners followed by mum’s homemade rhubarb crumble and custard. The rhubarb was always picked from the garden and tasted incredible. That combination of sour tartness and the sweet crispy crunchy …
Wandering around the farm shop the other day I was completely inspired by the amazing range of produce. Everything looked and smelled so fresh and inviting, but what really caught my eye were the courgettes (zucchini). They had both yellow and green ones and I …
The weather in London is beautiful at the moment so it meant a lovely walk this evening to Berkley Square and to Bocconcino Restaurant. Bocconcino had invited us for a complimentary meal to try their Italian fayre and, as that’s my favourite cuisine I was …
This time of year there are so many beautiful squashes around and squash is so versatile. I love courgettes (zucchini) and usually use them as courgetti instead of pasta in most dishes. I like to roast butternut squash and use it in dishes like my …
