Cooking, Travel & Eating Out on a Grain-Free, Gluten-Free & Refined Sugar-Free Diet
Meatballs must be the ultimate in comfort food – ‘Just like mamma used to make!’ I love them, but usually, when you eat them in a restaurant, they use breadcrumbs to bind them. The breadcrumbs help the meatballs to hold together during cooking but unfortunately, …
The weather in London is beautiful at the moment so it meant a lovely walk this evening to Berkley Square and to Bocconcino Restaurant. Bocconcino had invited us for a complimentary meal to try their Italian fayre and, as that’s my favourite cuisine I was …
This time of year there are so many beautiful squashes around and squash is so versatile. I love courgettes (zucchini) and usually use them as courgetti instead of pasta in most dishes. I like to roast butternut squash and use it in dishes like my …
I love this dish! It has all the flavours of a delicious Italian pasta dish with none of the pasta. Plus it’s grainfree, glutenfree and refined sugarfree! Watch out when ordering it in at a restaurant though as sometimes they mix in breadcrumbs to the …
Cicchetti Covent Garden was the destination for dinner tonight. We’d been invited to review their menu and we were very excited. I’d checked it out online at lunch and had been starving ever since! Everything sounded so so appealing. The concept at Cicchetti Covent Garden …
After our fabulous Bottomless Brunch at PerBacco Stefano invited us back to try his dinner menu. They have recently redesigned the menu and it now has a lighter Spring feel for the warmer weather. It’s a small menu focusing on fantastic produce with a few …

Bolognese Sauce (or Bolognaise as the English call it) is that classic Italian dish that everyone seems to have a different recipe for. Below is mine which I’ve perfected over many years and many attempts. This is the way I prefer to cook and eat it. …
I love Burrata (in fact I love all cheese!) It’s one of those things that I always order from any menu when I see it offered. In fact I ordered it just last week at our Date Night dinner at Roast Restaurant. There’s something about …
(Zucchini Noodles – Zoodles – with Garlic, Chilli & Jumbo Shrimp) Apparently, there is a courgette (zucchini) shortage in London (I’m actually not joking) that I was completely unaware of. My mum told me about it – it’s been on the news and everything! From …
So I bet you could see this coming a mile off…this week I’ve made bolognese sauce and béchamel sauce…which obviously come together best in a lasagne! It’s one of those foods that I miss, and to be honest, I’ve never cooked before, mainly because I …
First off, please excuse me for the awful picture showcasing this fantastic recipe. I simply got so excited after realising that making it this way with these ingredients worked, that I set to work, using it in a lasagne and completely forgot to take a …
