When the weather warms up, we’re all about the BBQ in our house!  If you’re looking for something a little bit different than the usual burgers and sausages on the BBQ then this is a really easy and tasty dish to try out.  Ready in 

Watercress Pesto

Watercress Pesto

With watercress in season at the moment, and having some left over after I made my delicious Watercress & Pea soup, I decided to try it in a pesto recipe.  I’ve previously made Rocket (Arugula) Pesto and I love the fiery kick it has so 

Asparagus Hollandaise

Asparagus Hollandaise

British Asparagus is one of those things that heralds the start of Spring, and Asparagus Hollandaise with the first asparagus of the season is a rite of passage in our house.  Asparagus is usually available from mid-April until June in the UK.   To me, it 

SCD Refined Sugarfree Coconut Macaroons

SCD Refined Sugarfree Coconut Macaroons

After making a big batch of my Hollandaise Sauce I was left with some egg whites to use up.  I was after something sweet so I decided to make these Refined Sugarfree Coconut Macaroons.  They’re so easy to make, one bowl and just mix it

Nothing quite says Christmas like a mince pie – it really feels like the festive season has started when you get your first taste of that sweet, spiced fruit flavour!  It evokes such a festive feeling – we always have a mince pie and a 

Sugarfree Sloe Gin

Sugarfree Sloe Gin

Sloe Gin is one of those quintessential British drinks that you don’t really seem to find anywhere else in the world.  For me, it brings back memories of wintery walks in the forest with a nip of Sloe Gin from a hip flask but these

If you’re in need of a winter warmer this Lentil, Bacon & Thyme Soup is the perfect comfort food recipe.  It’s thick, protein-heavy and such a great dish for lunchtime as it will keep you full all the way until dinner.  I make a double 

Grainfree Hazelnut Flour Pancakes – SCD

Grainfree Hazelnut Flour Pancakes – SCD

It’s Shrove Tuesday soon and it wouldn’t be Pancake Day without Pancakes for dessert!  Every Pancake Day my mum used to make us lemon and sugar-filled crepes (I think my record might even have been 6! once) but these days my diet has changed and 

Bitesized Grainfree Black Bean Brownies

Bitesized Grainfree Black Bean Brownies

Brownies – the ultimate in decadent treats!  Fudgy, gooey, squidgy bites of chocolatey deliciousness – can you tell I’m a fan?  I’ve made Grainfree Brownies previously using almond flour and coconut milk but there’s been a lot of hype recently about black bean brownies so 

Vegan Grainfree Truffle Risotto (Made with Cauliflower Rice!)

Vegan Grainfree Truffle Risotto (Made with Cauliflower Rice!)

Truffles – you either love them or you hate them.  I love them and think there are few things out there more decadent that the taste of those strange-looking little black fungi.  They make everything that bit more special, from pizzas to pasta to risotto.  

Grainfree Maple Walnut Banana Bread

Grainfree Maple Walnut Banana Bread

It’s been a long-standing joke that 2020 was the year of the banana bread. Being stuck at home, many people have turned to baking and banana bread is an obvious place to start for novice bakers.  It’s such an easy recipe to master and once
