Watercress Pesto

Watercress Pesto

With watercress in season at the moment, and having some left over after I made my delicious Watercress & Pea soup, I decided to try it in a pesto recipe.  I’ve previously made Rocket (Arugula) Pesto and I love the fiery kick it has so 

Asparagus Hollandaise

Asparagus Hollandaise

British Asparagus is one of those things that heralds the start of Spring, and Asparagus Hollandaise with the first asparagus of the season is a rite of passage in our house.  Asparagus is usually available from mid-April until June in the UK.   To me, it 

SCD Refined Sugarfree Coconut Macaroons

SCD Refined Sugarfree Coconut Macaroons

After making a big batch of my Hollandaise Sauce I was left with some egg whites to use up.  I was after something sweet so I decided to make these Refined Sugarfree Coconut Macaroons.  They’re so easy to make, one bowl and just mix it 

Grainfree Mince Pies

Grainfree Mince Pies

Nothing quite says Christmas like a mince pie – it really feels like the festive season has started when you get your first taste of that sweet, spiced fruit flavour!  It evokes such a festive feeling – we always have a mince pie and a 

Sugarfree Sloe Gin

Sugarfree Sloe Gin

Sloe Gin is one of those quintessential British drinks that you don’t really seem to find anywhere else in the world.  For me, it brings back memories of wintery walks in the forest with a nip of Sloe Gin from a hip flask but these 

Savoury Grainfree Pumpkin Seed Butter Muffins

Savoury Grainfree Pumpkin Seed Butter Muffins

One of my favourite lunches is soup, and soup is usually served with a nice crusty bread roll.  I love some kind of bread with my soup and sliced bread doesn’t always do it.  Sometimes you want something you can rip a chunk off, slather 

Hot Cross Bun Muffins

Hot Cross Bun Muffins

Easter is nearly here and nothing screams Easter more than Hot Cross Buns.  That sweet, cinnamon and fruit flavour reminds me of Easter afternoons in front of the fire and I love a toasted Hot Cross Bun with lashings of melted butter.  I knew I 

Foolproof Easy Hollandaise Sauce

Foolproof Easy Hollandaise Sauce

Hollandaise Sauce is one of those things that people are always afraid to try.  Along with Mayonnaise, it’s seen as a tough sauce to get right and an easy one to get wrong!  But in fact, if you take it slowly and don’t rush, it’s 

Bitesized Grainfree Black Bean Brownies

Bitesized Grainfree Black Bean Brownies

Brownies – the ultimate in decadent treats!  Fudgy, gooey, squidgy bites of chocolatey deliciousness – can you tell I’m a fan?  I’ve made Grainfree Brownies previously using almond flour and coconut milk but there’s been a lot of hype recently about black bean brownies so 

Vegan Grainfree Truffle Risotto (Made with Cauliflower Rice!)

Vegan Grainfree Truffle Risotto (Made with Cauliflower Rice!)

Truffles – you either love them or you hate them.  I love them and think there are few things out there more decadent that the taste of those strange-looking little black fungi.  They make everything that bit more special, from pizzas to pasta to risotto.  

Grainfree Maple Walnut Banana Bread

Grainfree Maple Walnut Banana Bread

It’s been a long-standing joke that 2020 was the year of the banana bread. Being stuck at home, many people have turned to baking and banana bread is an obvious place to start for novice bakers.  It’s such an easy recipe to master and once 

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

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
