Coconut Oil: Is it all its cracked up to be?
I’m half Srilankan, a country where the coconut is a bit of celebrity and the whole of it is used in various ways. I must admit to not being a fan of coconut water or plain coconut but I do love it in a curry! The lastest craze of coconut oil has been one I’ve […]

Gluten Free Quiche.
I am SO glad this recipe worked. My hubby is a huge quiche fan, I’m not particularly but that’s mainly because I just don’t like pastry. So this recipe is the perfect combination as it uses rice as the base making it suitable for me and it still hits the quiche spot for the husband. […]
