Cooking, Travel & Eating Out on a Grain-Free, Gluten-Free & Refined Sugar-Free Diet
Stone Town is the Capital City of Zanzibar and when planning our recent trip there, we knew we wanted to spend some time exploring and soaking up this amazing place. We managed to pack in quite a lot during our overnight stay so I hope …
Sunday always calls for brunch in our house and one of my favourites is Eggs Benedict. There’s something about the Hollandaise Sauce that makes it feel really decadent and it’s even better when you make your own from scratch (avoiding all the thickeners and additives …
I love salmon, in fact I think it’s the fish that we eat most in our house. I cook with it at least once a week and so I’m always looking for different ways to serve it. This particular recipe for Oven Baked Salmon with …
I think Potato Gratin has to be one of the most deliciously decadent side dishes out there! Potatoes, cream, butter, cheese – yes please! I don’t eat potatoes on the medical diet that I follow but I can tolerate sweet potatoes so I decided to …

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 …
This dish has such an autumnal feel to it. There’s something about squash that just screams cosy, comfort food. I use Butternut Squash in my recipes a lot, from my Chorizo & Butternut Squash Frittata to my Roasted Butternut Soup and I’ve cooked Spaghetti Squash …
