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

Oven Baked Salmon with White Wine & Watercress Sauce

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

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 

Chorizo Butternut Squash Frittata

Chorizo Butternut Squash Frittata

Tonight I was in the mood for eggs and we settled on a kind of ‘breakfast for dinner’ type dish.  If you like this kind of idea then my Shakshuka (Moroccan Baked Eggs) is also a great breakfast recipe that I often eat in the

Slow-Roasted, Indian Spiced Leg of Lamb with Pomegranate, Pistachios & Mint

There’s something about a roast lunch that makes a Sunday so special.  And it’s even better when you can just pop it in the oven, forget about it for hours, spend time with your guests and just take it out when its done.  Previously I’ve
