I love how cauliflower is so versatile! This grain free cheese sauce is made simply with cauliflower, onions, cheese, salt and pepper and it's surprisingly smooth!

Vegetable Stuffed Tomatoes GF SCD

Stuffed Tomatoes in a dish

These stuffed tomatoes are filled with a selection of seasonal vegetables and herbs and are packed full of vitamins and phytonutrients. They are suitable for all diets because instead of using rice, I've used delicious cauliflower rice, a much healthier alternative.

Apricot Slice GF SCD

We've had a lovely long weekend! It was my daughter's birthday on Friday and since the weather was warm, we decided to go to the beach! It's some years since I've been to the East Coast but there are some lovely beaches on this side of the UK one of which is Cayton Bay.

Green Lentil Salad GF SCD

Green Lentil Salad

This green lentil salad is super delicious and full of plant protein. High in protein and low in fat, green lentils are rich in dietary fibre and phytonutrients which are essential to maintain a good immune system. They're also a great source of folate, thiamin and Vitamin B6 as well as iron, manganese and phosphorous. They are perfect for adding to soups and salads.

Grain Free Cheese and Vegetable Flan GF SCD

Grain Free Cheese and Vegetable Flan

Sunday was our family birthday get together and it was my turn to host! Most of our birth signs are Cancer or Leo and I try to cook dishes that everyone can enjoy but which don't appear to be too out of the ordinary to most our guests. I made this flan as one of the dishes for our buffet.

Onion Bhajis and Cauliflower Pakoras GF


One of my favourite Indian foods, the traditional onion bhaji recipe is made with gram flour. Gram flour, which is also known as chickpea flour, garbanzo flour and Besan, is milled from naturally gluten-free gram or Chana Dahl, a small chickpea with a fine yellow colour. Having a low GI ranking, it is a healthy alternative to some of the widely used gluten-free flours which contain a high amount of starch. It has a sweet but earthy taste and is used widely in Indian and Middle Eastern cookery.
