Smoked Haddock Cauliflower Chowder (Cauliflower Cullen Skink)

Chowder is a thick soup, usually made with milk or cream that originates from New England in America.  Cullen Skink is the Scottish version but wherever it’s from, it’s always comforting and delicious.  Most smoked haddock chowder is usually made with potatoes, but as I

Non-Alcoholic Spicy Ginger Switchel (Haymaker’s Punch)

If you’re off the alcohol for whatever reason, this drink is something delicious that really fills that Friday evening cocktail gap!  It’s an adult mocktail that isn’t full of refined sugar or tons of fruit juice like so many of the options out there.  I’ve 

SCD Christmas Cake – Grainfree Glutenfree Fruit Cake

SCD Christmas Cake – Grainfree Glutenfree Fruit Cake

For me, the Christmas season always feels like it begins when I make the Christmas Cake. You have to make it in advance and ‘feed’ it (see further down for how to do this) with whisky until the big day so it’s best to start 

Refined Sugarfree Cranberry Sauce

Refined Sugarfree Cranberry Sauce

It just wouldn’t be Christmas or Thanksgiving without some cranberry sauce on your festive table to pair with that delicious turkey, would it?  Most cranberry sauce that you buy in a jar is full of sugar and so, because I can’t eat the white stuff, 

Grainfree Fish Pie with Cauliflower Mash

Grainfree Fish Pie with Cauliflower Mash

I love Fish Pie! It’s one of those ultimate comfort foods but is usually off-limits for me as the sauce tends to be made with flour and the topping is usually mashed potato – two items that I can’t eat!  I created this Grainfree Fish

Portuguese Chicken Piri Piri

Portuguese Chicken Piri Piri

I had to do a bit of research when writing this post as I wasn’t really sure what to call this dish.  I’ve heard it called both chicken Peri Peri and chicken Piri Piri, but which one is correct?  Both, it would seem depending on

Pan Fried Padron Peppers  – one of the easiest dishes to make and the perfect appetiser to serve with drinks or as a side to some tapas!  These salty, smoky, tasty treats are honestly so easy to make, it’s almost embarrassing to call this a 

Chocolate Covered Coconut Bars

Chocolate Covered Coconut Bars

Growing up as a kid it was pretty clear to everyone what my mum’s favourite chocolate bar was.  It was definitely a bounty bar.  She just loves the combination of coconut and chocolate and when they made an ice-cream version it was like all her 

Courgetti Pesto Caprese Salad

Courgetti Pesto Caprese Salad

When the temperature goes over 30 degrees (like it has every day this week) the last thing I feel like doing is switching on the oven.   I also don’t usually fancy eating anything hot either, but I still want something really tasty for dinner.  Tonight,
