Garlic Butter Shrimp
This garlic shrimp recipe takes minutes to cook and it’s such a fun way to eat – communal style from a big pan! You start by melting the butter over a low heat in a large pan until it has fully melted.

Berry & Mint Fruit Salad with a Honey Lime Dressing
Ok, so this is hardly a recipe (throw some fruit in a bowl, scatter over some mint, sprinkle over a secret dressing and it’s done) but it looked so spectacular and went down so well when I served it at a recent BBQ that I …
Wine Tasting & Food Pairing Evening at the Great Northern
Last night was the inaugural Great Northern Pub Wine Tasting & Food Pairing Evening. We arrived at the pub to be welcomed with a glass of champagne and shown a list of the seven wines we were going to get a chance to taste that …
Courgette Pizza Bites
OMG These might be the best appetisers ever! When life (Lupus) doesn’t let you eat pizza, these are definitely the next best thing – and they’re veggie based so they’re healthy and you can eat as many of them as you want? Right? So simple …
3-Ingredient Salted Nut Brittle
After the success of my no-sugar Coconut Ice, I decided to have another go at making a different sweet that I used to love as a child – Peanut Brittle. I knew it would be impossible to get the crunch of a peanut brittle without adding sugar …
Fellow-Blogger Friday #2 – Courgetti Spaghetti Round-Up
You say Zucchini, I say Courgettes, you say Zoodles, I say Courgetti… I love my Spiralizer! It allows me to eat all those gorgeous pasta sauces that I wouldn’t otherwise be able to have (due to having to give up my delicious pasta). It’s so easy to …
Spicy Chicken Curry with Cauliflower ‘Rice’
I like my curries flavourful and quite spicy. I’m not a huge fan of the creamy ones or the mild, coconutty ones, I prefer them to pack a punch so I went about creating one to warm us up on a wet, rainy English summer …
Grilled Halloumi, Caramelised Shallots, Green Bean & Pine Nut Salad with a Lime Dressing
So, after the Roasted Peach, Feta & Pistachio Salad, the second salad that I decided on for our BBQ lunch was this Grilled Halloumi Salad. Halloumi is always a crowd pleaser and I think it should be at every BBQ, although if you can’t eat …
Coconut Ice
I don’t have a particularly sweet tooth, luckily for me as I don’t eat any refined sugar (I eat honey and naturally occurring sugars in fruit etc, but no sugar, agave, coconut nectar, stevia etc) but I was really craving something sweet after my dinner tonight. …
Grain-Free Almond Flour Pie Crust
This recipe is a really easy one (much easier than making real shortcrust pastry – and much more forgiving). It’s only 4 ingredients and comes together in a flash. It can turn a midweek supper into something that feels much more special and seems like …
Pan Fried Sea-Bream with Lemon & Caper Butter Sauce
A few too many ‘meat-heavy’ BBQs recently meant that we were craving a lighter dinner tonight so we decided that fish should be on the menu. Settling on sea bream I decided to pair it with a lemon and caper butter sauce as I love …
Grain-Free Focaccia: Cherry Tomato & Rocket Pesto
I made my Grain-Free Sun-dried Tomato & Olive Focaccia last week and loved it so much I’ve been dreaming about it ever since! Tonight I decided to make it again but change-up the ingredients. I settled on cherry tomatoes and a homemade rocket pesto to …
