Cooking, Travel & Eating Out on a Grain-Free, Gluten-Free & Refined Sugar-Free Diet
Easter is around the corner and the shops are full of chocolate eggs, bunnies and hot cross buns. It’s a sugar-overload everywhere you look! So what can you treat yourself with at Easter if you can’t tolerate refined-sugars? Look no further as I have some …
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 …
When I think of small sharing plates, the cuisine that tends to spring to mind is Spanish. Tapas is such a fun way to eat as I love being able to try a little bit of a lot of different flavours. Recently I’ve also been …
Today I’d been invited to try the menu at Iberica Restaurant. Normally I take Dan to these things but today I’d chosen to take my mum because she’s a big tapas sceptic! She’s only had tapas a few times before but she’s never really been …

Madrid is such a gastronomic city with a huge tradition of cooking and eating, and the Madrilenos really know how to enjoy their food. The best restaurants in Madrid that I have visited are the authentic Spanish ones with long histories attached to them. They’ve …
Update: It seems that everyone loved the food here as much as I did. Andi Oliver and Kelly Miles have now got their own premises in Stoke Newington High Street. Check out Brunch at Andi’s Restaurant for info on the new place! Last night Dan …
