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 was a dinner out with Dan’s family and as his brother Chris is due to have his baby any day now (and his girlfriend Emma-obviously Chris isn’t having the baby), it was suggested that they stay near home and we meet them at a local restaurant. They …
Knowing how much of a fan Matilda is of the avocado Aussie Brunch (we travelled together in Australia earlier this year – and ate many brunches!) I picked Granger & Co for a Saturday Brunch Treat. I’d heard great things about the restaurant but never …
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 …

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 …
Dinner tonight was going to be chicken skewers done on our new BBQ, but the Great British Summer had other ideas! Not the nicest of evenings so I had a quick re-think and settled on chicken fajitas (done in lettuce wraps for me – tortillas for …
These have become a sort of obsession of mine recently. Every other photo on Instagram (follow me at emmaeatsandexplores) seems to be of some beautifully presented concoction topped with chia or cacao nibs or sliced fruit and they really are, works of art. Deciding to …
This month it was my turn to be treated to date night and Dan had planned a surprise evening for me – I prefer not to know where we’re going until the last minute, whereas he likes to pick where he goes! I guess he …
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 …
90 mins of Power Yoga left me aching in a good way and wanting to do some more exercise. We had plans to meet Dan’s family tonight in Hampstead for dinner, so we decided to walk there as all in all it would probably be …
