Cooking, Travel & Eating Out on a Grain-Free, Gluten-Free & Refined Sugar-Free Diet
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 …

Tonight I was in the mood for eggs and we settled on a kind of ‘breakfast for dinner’ type dish. If you like this kind of idea then my Shakshuka (Moroccan Baked Eggs) is also a great breakfast recipe that I often eat in the …
There’s something about a roast lunch that makes a Sunday so special. And it’s even better when you can just pop it in the oven, forget about it for hours, spend time with your guests and just take it out when its done. Previously I’ve …
As much as I love my Grain-Free Bread, (it’s perfect for toast or sandwiches), sometimes I miss the fluffiness and doughiness of a yummy piece of Focaccia. I set about trying to create a recipe that would calm the craving and I think I got …
I love salads but at this time of year, a cold dinner doesn’t always appeal. This Roasted Sweet Potato Salad with Lentils & Goats Cheese is warm and comforting. It’s the perfect winter lunch or dinner or can even be served as a side dish …
