Raw Lemon Curd Cheesecake

I’m not a huge fan of desserts or sweet things – I’d rather have a cheese plate at the end of a meal, but if I’m going to order a dessert it would be cheesecake 100% of the time.  Knowing this, my lovely mother decided 

(Garbanzo Bean) Chickpea Flour Blinis

(Garbanzo Bean) Chickpea Flour Blinis

I’ve made blinis with coconut flour before and while I can’t discern much of a coconutty flavour in them, others can.  I decided to try to create the recipe in a similar way using chickpea (garbanzo bean)  flour.  Chickpea flour worked so well in my 

SCD Cauliflower Pizza

Ask anyone on a Grainfree or Paleo diet what is the one thing they miss the most, and the answer is always…Pizza!  It’s probably my favourite food in the world, or maybe it’s bread, or maybe its nachos…  Anyway, now there’s no reason to miss

When the weather isn’t playing ball, sometimes the only way to inject some sunshine into your day is with your food.  A taste of the tropics is always a good way to start your morning so bring a bit of the Caribbean to your kitchen 

Slowcooked Paleo Meatballs

Slowcooked Paleo Meatballs

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,

Grainfree Carrot and Courgette Cake

It was Dan’s birthday so it was cake time!  Cakes are always tricky in our house, two of us are grain-free, one doesn’t eat chocolate and one eats everything!  Carrot cake got the thumbs up from everyone so I set about making a grain-free one…to

Grainfree Onion Bhajis

Grainfree Onion Bhajis

I love curries, but often, some of the best bits of the meal are all the side dishes that come with them. Think Dahl, Chana Masala, Poppodoms and of course, Onion Bhajis!  Lightly spiced balls of fried onion deliciousness!  These grainfree onion bhajis are made

This is one of those dishes that I’ve been craving for ages and has now become a reality thanks to the invention of my flour and milk-free Bechamel Sauce.  SCD Cauliflower Cheese is of those foods that most people have as a side dish but
