Wild Garlic Cashew Nut Pesto

Have you ever tried foraging?  There are so many amazing things you can find in and around the countryside near your own home.  Our parks, hedgerows and roadsides are full of delicious treats just waiting to be picked and used in your dinner recipes.  We are 

Grainfree Blackberry Apple Crumble

Grainfree Blackberry Apple Crumble

In our house, there’s only one thing that passes for dessert on a Sunday lunch and that’s Crumble!  Whether it’s rhubarb, plum or apple and cinnamon it’s a family favourite that everyone enjoys.  Today we decided to make an Apple & Blackberry crumble using some 

SCD Eggs Benedict

SCD Eggs Benedict

Sunday always calls for brunch in our house and one of my favourites is Eggs Benedict.  There’s something about the Hollandaise Sauce that makes it feel really decadent and it’s even better when you make your own from scratch (avoiding all the thickeners and additives 

Oven Baked Salmon with White Wine & Watercress Sauce

Oven Baked Salmon with White Wine & Watercress Sauce

I love salmon, in fact I think it’s the fish that we eat most in our house.  I cook with it at least once a week and so I’m always looking for different ways to serve it.  This particular recipe for Oven Baked Salmon with 

Cheesy Sweet Potato Gratin

Cheesy Sweet Potato Gratin

I think Potato Gratin has to be one of the most deliciously decadent side dishes out there!  Potatoes, cream, butter, cheese – yes please!  I don’t eat potatoes on the medical diet that I follow but I can tolerate sweet potatoes so I decided to 

Buttered & Charred Lettuce with Peas

Buttered & Charred Lettuce with Peas

I love peas!  They have to be one of my favourite veggies.  So versatile, easy to cook and I always have a bag on hand in the freezer.  The only thing with peas is that they’re not very elegant or sophisticated!  A bowl of frozen

Leftover Turkey Stroganoff – Grainfree

Last week I cooked the obligatory Sunday roast but the thing with roast turkey and all the trimmings is that there’s always so much leftover.  I decided to get a bit inventive and instead of the usual turkey sandwiches, I set about creating this Leftover 

Roasted Acorn Squash with Pesto & Pine Nuts

Roasted Acorn Squash with Pesto & Pine Nuts

This dish has such an autumnal feel to it.  There’s something about squash that just screams cosy, comfort food.  I use Butternut Squash in my recipes a lot, from my Chorizo & Butternut Squash Frittata to my Roasted Butternut Soup and I’ve cooked Spaghetti Squash 

Rhubarb Orange Compote

Rhubarb Orange Compote

Rhubarb is such an autumnal fruit (or is it a vegetable)?  It reminds me of roast dinners followed by mum’s homemade rhubarb crumble and custard.  The rhubarb was always picked from the garden and tasted incredible. That combination of sour tartness and the sweet crispy crunchy

(Zucchini) Courgette Pea & Feta Summer Salad

Wandering around the farm shop the other day I was completely inspired by the amazing range of produce.  Everything looked and smelled so fresh and inviting, but what really caught my eye were the courgettes (zucchini).  They had both yellow and green ones and I 

Roasted Spaghetti Squash with Gremolata

Roasted Spaghetti Squash with Gremolata

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 

Three Cheese Melanzane Parmigiana (Eggplant Parmesan)

Three Cheese Melanzane Parmigiana (Eggplant Parmesan)

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
