Cooking, Travel & Eating Out on a Grain-Free, Gluten-Free & Refined Sugar-Free Diet
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, …
Talli Joe makes the claim on its website that it is voted the Best Indian Restaurant in London. In a city with literally hundreds if not thousands of Indian restaurants, this is a steep claim to make so it was time to put it to …
Cicchetti Covent Garden was the destination for dinner tonight. We’d been invited to review their menu and we were very excited. I’d checked it out online at lunch and had been starving ever since! Everything sounded so so appealing. The concept at Cicchetti Covent Garden …
Bolognese Sauce (or Bolognaise as the English call it) is that classic Italian dish that everyone seems to have a different recipe for. Below is mine which I’ve perfected over many years and many attempts. This is the way I prefer to cook and eat it. …
This morning we woke up in San Sebastian early as we had a fun day planned – Wine Tasting in Rioja – and even more important than that…It was MY BIRTHDAY! I’m a bit of a princess when it comes to my Birthday and there’s …

I can always count on my mum to want to visit a healthy restaurant with me. We like the same kind of food and eat the same kind of diet (grain, gluten and refined sugar-free – amongst other things) so when I spent a day …
It never happens that we have a Saturday night to ourselves but we had one free this weekend and I was very excited to spend it indoors. A night in front of the fire was in order so, to amplify the cosy feeling, I decided …
Is there anything better than a warm, hearty stew, when the weather is cold outside – and this is the most famous of them all, the classic French dish of Boeuf Bourguignon (beef casserole with added red wine and a fancy french name!) with a …
Last night we decided to have a BBQ outside and burgers were on the menu. Dan normally makes his Super Simple Spicy Burgers but today we decided to up the ante and go for something a bit different. Melting Middle Mozzarella Caprese Burgers were what …
