Living with food intolerance doesn't have to be intolerable
Preparing a nutritious breakfast as you fly out the door can seem an impossible task some days. This is where make-ahead meals, like these delicious mini omelettes (or frittatas – whichever you prefer đ), can definitely shine. They can be made in a big batch on a weekend, or a […]
Does a gluten-free diet increase your risk of developing Type 2 Diabetes (T2D)? It’s an interesting, perhaps concerning, point to ponder given so many people need to remove or limit gluten in their diet these days, however, current research suggests it might (1). Researchers at Harvard University’s Department of Nutrition completed a […]
My husband and I don’t really celebrate Valentine’s Day…. it’s such a commercialised occasion although it does have historic origins that I find quite interesting. So why the Valentine’s Tart then? Because I am a complete and utter sucker! The advertising and the fuss gets to me Every. Single. Year! […]
I have never been a traditional fudge fan if I’m completely honest. I KNOW! Where do you even start with someone like me? đłÂ Trust me, I tried to like it on many, many occasions but it was far too sweet for my tastes…. even back in the days when my […]
I had a good and proper bout of Mondayitis today. I used to get it weekly when I worked in the corporate world because I never wanted to go back to the office on Monday, but it’s very rare it happens now that I’m studying what I love. I had a […]
Kohlrabi fries – by far my favourite way to enjoy this under-appreciated vegetable. And I’ll admit, I only recently fell in love with kohlrabi myself. This was all thanks to joining my local community garden and learning more about what we were planting and harvesting. Before pulling some out of […]

Chocolate crackles were synonymous with party when I was a wee kiddie. Weren’t they? Was it the same for you? It was absolutely no kind of birthday celebration at all if chocolate crackles weren’t on the table, but being a wholefoods lover these days I looked back over that recipe and […]
Pulled pork tacos are definitely one of our top five favourite meals. The recipe is very low-fuss, and you can mix and match any sides you like to make it a different dinner (or lunch!) every single time. They’re great stuffed with meats or legumes, fresh tomato salsa, greens and […]
A couple of months back now I joined this gorgeous little group on Facebook called ‘The Ready Steady Cook Club’. Colin, the lovely founder from The Simple Cook, contacted me through my Instagram feed and asked if I’d like to join. Of course I wanted to… what’s not to love […]
I used to make this little anti-inflammatory shot for myself every morning a couple of years back to help keep my inflammation levels in check and to help with daily symptoms such as itchy eyes and runny nose (I didn’t know it was histamine intolerance at the time!). It was […]
Panna cotta is such a wonderfully versatile dessert and it can be made to suit almost every intolerance as it contains so few ingredients. However, if you plan on enjoying one of these in a cafe or restaurant it is always important to ask what they are, as there are […]
