Cooking, Travel & Eating Out on a Grain-Free, Gluten-Free & Refined Sugar-Free Diet
Finally it seems Summer has arrived in England – which means more BBQ time! I was heading back home to see my parents tonight and we decided it was time to fire up the barbie and have dinner outside. We had some salmon in the …
I don’t like to buy dips from the supermarket. I find that 99 times out of 100 they will have sugar added, which is so unnecessary (it hides in everything these days) or some sort of binder like potato starch or maize/rice flour or guar …
Tonight I had my friend Matilda staying with me from Sweden, and last time she was over I saw her eyeing up my spiraliser! Deciding to have a girl’s night in tonight, we settled on cooking a meal together and opening a bottle of wine …
Last night I wanted something light and fresh but still filling and full of good fats and protein to fuel me after my BODYPUMP class. I settled on a Salmon Salad Nicoise – or my version of one – topped with a gooey poached egg …
I was having a few friends over for dinner tonight and my friend Josephine was bringing over a traditional Swedish dinner of herring and caviar to start followed by Salmon and Potato Salad as a main course. Knowing that I wouldn’t be able to eat …

Tonight I fancied a salad, and having pears to use up I wanted one that would incorporate them. Normally I’d turn to my old fail-safe: Pear, Blue Cheese and Walnut salad, but tonight I decided to try something different. I love the combination of salty …
This morning’s breakfast came about because I wanted to use a piece of my Grain Free Bread! I looked through the fridge and decided to make a chorizo scramble to top the bread with. A bit more exciting and tasty than traditional scrambled eggs, but …
Tonight I decided to give the new-to-me method of massaging kale a go. Loving other people’s food blogs and keeping up with the foodie world, it’s something I’ve seen talked about a lot recently but never had a go at myself. My go-to method of …
Tonight we had a bit of time on our hands so decided to do a dinner that took a bit more effort. Fishcakes to me always seem to involve so many components (cooking the fish, cooking the celeriac (potatoes usually) combining everything and then re-cooking …
Our friend Matt messaged us today with the news that he had a really decent bottle of wine that he wanted to get through tonight. With nowhere in London offering BYO on a Friday night I offered to cook steaks if he bought the wine. …
