Cooking, Travel & Eating Out on a Grain-Free, Gluten-Free & Refined Sugar-Free Diet
I love peas! They have to be one of my favourite veggies. So versatile, easy to cook and I always have a bag on hand in the freezer. The only thing with peas is that they’re not very elegant or sophisticated! A bowl of frozen …
Last week I cooked the obligatory Sunday roast but the thing with roast turkey and all the trimmings is that there’s always so much leftover. I decided to get a bit inventive and instead of the usual turkey sandwiches, I set about creating this Leftover …
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 …
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 …

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 …
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 …
Welcome back and Happy New Year everyone! I hope you all had a lovely Christmas full of fun, friends, family and food! If you’re anything like me you got lots of chocolate for Christmas (just that mine is the 100% cacao kind!) This Chocolate Chestnut …
At this time of year when there’s a chill in the air you need something warming and what better than a glass of hot, Mulled Wine. Unfortunately every version I’ve ever seen is full of sugar so if I want it, it’s up to me …
