Cooking, Travel & Eating Out on a Grain-Free, Gluten-Free & Refined Sugar-Free Diet
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 …
I love finding great local producers and we have just discovered a wonderful seafood supplier down the road from us in Islington, London. I’d had my heart set on Moules Marinières for a special Anniversary evening with Dan so I sent him off while I …
It was the first nice day of the year and what better way to spend it than a nice long leisurely brunch. Arlo’s had invited me to try their recently revamped brunch menu so we headed to South London to check it out. Brunch at …
Today I’d been invited to try the menu at Iberica Restaurant. Normally I take Dan to these things but today I’d chosen to take my mum because she’s a big tapas sceptic! She’s only had tapas a few times before but she’s never really been …
Dan and I have been together 3 years! Doesn’t time fly! But how to mark our anniversary? A special event like that deserves a special restaurant so I was thrilled when the team at Roast Restaurant invited us there to try their menu. It would …

Firstly I’d just like to wish everyone a HAPPY NEW YEAR! I hope 2017 brings you all health, happiness and prosperity and that you and your loved ones have had fun celebrating the festive season. We spent our New Years in Madrid (more about that …
Another date night tonight and this time it was my turn to be treated. A fabulous musical ‘Aladdin’ (which I highly recommend, *the genie was amazing* and even musical hater Dan agreed it was great) followed by dinner at Barrafina, a Spanish Tapas Bar, in …
Dan and I take it in turns every other month to take each other on a date night where we plan a special evening for the other person. Last time, he took me to The Ninth on Charlotte St (read about it here), a fairly new …
I love the idea of meals that use one pot (less washing up) so today I decided to make a traybake for dinner. So easy, everything gets chopped up and layered in one dish and then put in the oven to bake. Loving my mediterranean …
