Cooking, Travel & Eating Out on a Grain-Free, Gluten-Free & Refined Sugar-Free Diet
Curry is a great choice on a grain-free diet. In fact, I already have recipes on the blog for my Spicy Chicken Curry and my Zanzibar Coconut Chicken Curry. Most authentic curry houses don’t use any thickeners in their sauces. If they make it fresh, …
This has to be one of the easiest yet most crowd-pleasing appetisers around! 5 minutes prep, 20 minutes in the oven and you have a huge gooey, melted cheese that is perfect for dipping. I like to make my Baked Camembert with garlic and rosemary, …
This weekend we had escaped out of London to a beautiful country house about an hour’s drive away. We were staying with another 4 couples (all friends of Dan’s from University) and a couple of kiddies and had planned to chill out and spend a …
If you follow my Instagram you’ll have seen the delicious picture I posted of an amazing fish lunch that I had recently at 2Passos Restaurant in the Algarve, Portugal. A beautiful whole Dorade (Sea Bream) baked in the oven on a bed of onions, tomatoes …

I don’t tend to cook with Pork – it’s just not one of my favourite meats. I find it quite dry and chewy unless it’s a slow roasted cut like a Pork Belly or Pulled Pork. When I saw these enormous pork chops in the …
Having loved the last lentil salad I made (Lentil Salad with Feta & Mint) I decided to use lentils again. I really don’t eat them enough. They’re so filling and so full of protein that they’re extremely good for you. Legumes, beans and pulses don’t …

Recently I made my delicious Almond Flour Crackers and having tried three different toppings I kept thinking about other flavour combinations to create. I love cheese biscuits so Parmesan came to mind pretty quickly. With such a strong taste, you don’t need much of it …
Homemade pesto always tastes so much better than anything you can buy in the shops. This Rocket Pesto – also known as Arugula Pesto is the US – is peppery take on the Italian Classic. Fresher and bursting with flavour from the herbs, it adds …
