I’m half Sri-lankan and that half of me tends to have a large influence in my cooking styles. Luckily my husband is a huge fan of this type of cooking and the toddler is quite keen too. In fact we took her to Sri-Lanka and she suprised me by eating nearly everything I ate, spices […]
Heathy, Raw, GlutenFree, High Protein No Chocolate Brownies!
I’ve been seeing a few recipes for raw brownies floating around and each time I see them thinking…. “I really must try these out”. Last Monday morning was the time, for some reason I woke up full of cooking inspiration and whislt the toddler ate her porridge I knocked these up – they literally took […]
Imam Bayildi (Baked Aubergine Heaven) Gluten and Dairy free.
I love aubergines. Which is an odd thing because as a child I hated them, how tastes and times change. This recipe is a particular favourite of mine, not just because it is fragrantly spiced, softly spreadable and tinglingly tasty….but also because of the style of eating. I am one of those types who likes […]
Homemade Pizza vlog made with my Toddler
We all love a bit of pizza, in our house we make our own pizza – why? Well…. 1)I’m wheat intolerant, 2) It’s just healthier, 3) It’s so easy in our bread machine, 4) We can choose our favourite toppings. 5) My toddler loves cooking and this is one recipe she can almost do all […]
Lemon Curd Biscuits (GF, Wheat free).
Super quick and easy to make, if you have kids they will love making these with you.

Ingredients: 150g Bezgluten flour 50g ground almonds 100g butter 70g […]
10 Minute Bean Burgers.
You know those days when you have a hungry family but haven’t quite had the time to get round to making dinner? I’ll admit I like to be far more organised and in control of meal times but this was just not one of those days. So with a toddler as my trusty sous chef […]
Hearty, Warming Minestrone Soup
It’s officially cold, freezing, cold here. In fact it’s snowing! Here’s my perfect snow day soup recipe. It’s packed full of veggies to boost that immunity, the beans are filling and satisfying, and being a soup, it’ll keep you warm. The pasta makes this a complete meal so no bread is needed. Great for feeding […]
Making Fresh Gluten/Wheat Free Pasta
Back in the days when I could eat wheat I loved fresh pasta. It was a quick, easy meal that delighted my taste buds. I even got given a pasta machine by my mother-in-law one Christmas so I could make my own. Typically shortly after that I found out I couldn’t eat wheat. Boo. I’ll […]
Homemade Healthy Breakfast Bars (gluten free, wheat free).
I’m a huge fan of breakfast. If you’ve gone all night without eating then surely your body needs some food. It makes sense. It picks up your blood sugars, boosts your energy levels and wakes you up! Eating breakfast has been linked to improving your concentration levels, your memory and aids in weight loss. If […]
Dates Anyone?
Gotta love a bit of dried fruit, especially when it’s on a market and there is such a choice! Date flesh is low in fat and protein but rich in sugars, mainly fructose and glucose. They are a high source of energy, as 100 g of flesh can provide an average of 314 kcal – […]
