A couple of months ago I posted my first bread recipe. It came from the book ‘Going Paleo’ from Pete Evans. His Paleo bread, with almonds and eggs as the base, is packed with protein and healthy fats. Since then making a loaf of delicious grain free bread has been a weekly ritual – it’s become a … Continue reading
I recently picked up a lovely bag of new season Pink Lady apples at my local farmer’s market. A couple of weeks and lots of fennel and apple slaw later, I still had half of them sat in the fridge begging to be used. Then, with perfect timing, I came across a lovely recipe from my … Continue reading
I’ve been officially off sugar since early 2012. Today, a few years on my sweet tooth is easily satisfied. Where once I could easily devour a whole (large) bar of milk chocolate I’m now happy with a few squares of 85% dark chocolate.

Engaging with other bloggers is a great way to learn what you can do differently or better. And as a food blogger who follows others you’ll … Continue reading
Whenever I see an iconic jar of Nutella it brings back fond childhood memories. For years Nutella was my naughty spread alternative to butter. I could literally eat it straight from the jar. In more recent years Nutella has fallen victim to my quest to wean myself off added sugar. Despite it being a ‘hazelnut … Continue reading
Being an English-Aussie until now I didn’t know too much about Thanksgiving, other than it being an American tradition in November. Don’t hold this against me……Because this year two of my American-Aussie neighbours, Kate and Laura, have invited me to spend Thanksgiving with them and over 20 others. I’ve been told that we’ll be feasting … Continue reading
When it comes to treats I have a huge soft spot for ice cream. I choose it almost every time over other desserts. My problem is one of portion size – I usually buy a tub and (not content with a couple of scoops) have been known to eat the whole tub in one sitting. … Continue reading
