I recently asked my readers whether there was anything Christmas food related that they would like to see a low-carb alternative for. The messages flooded in. Everything from eggnog and twiglets to brandy butter and turkey sandwiches. Mince pies appeared a grand total of 35 […]
With it being nearly 14 years since my diagnosis, diabetes awareness month and after receiving a lot of questions recently, I wanted to dedicate a post to my disease, Type One Diabetes. Firstly I am not writing this for sympathy, assurance or a pat on the back, […]
A while ago I shared a photo of my pesto pizza creation on Instagram and Facebook asking whether any one would like to trial the recipe. Thinking perhaps a couple of people would respond, I ended up having over 200 requests and since then the […]
There is nothing better than a simple recipe, with very few ingredients that tastes amazing AND is incredibly low-carb! Well, this recipe is just that! A few weeks ago I shared it on my social media account. The response was incredible with thousands of views and […]
I am so excited to share that I will be hosting my first supper club on Saturday March 2, 2019. It is something I have always wanted to do and now that I am no longer deep in book writing, I thought I would bite […]

It is with huge excitement that I can share the news that I am now an official author. My book “The Low Carb Diabetes Cookbook“, published by Penguin Random House has launched today (1st November 2018). It feels like a long time coming, but it […]

From day dot, I have used a sharps bin. Without fail. It is for the safety of others, more than just myself. I keep it up high in the bathroom on a shelf, well away from the tiny hands of my precious toddler. I also […]
Simple, succulent and take next to no time to make, these turkey burgers are great enjoyed piping hot from the oven or cold the next day with a side salad or roasted veg. Homemade burgers are so easy to make and perfect if you follow […]
I adore all of my recipes, but this is one that I am particularly proud of, because it means that I can eat BREAD. I can make it up and pop it in the oven almost immediately, bake for 15-20 minutes and that’s it! It […]
We’ve all been there. Walking in to the supermarket, filled with ideas of just filling your bags with meat and veg. Then the toddler starts screaming, and the child starts picking up bags of brightly coloured snacks “pleeassseeee Mummmmmmmy” and before you know it, the […]
For the last 11 years I have slept with a snorer. I have heard every excuse possible; weight gain, a cold coming, not enough pillows, too many pillows, too cold, too hot, too much cheese, too much beer, too tired, I was on my back, it’s […]
Dear Diabetes, It’s been 13 years since we got together, so I thought I would mark our ‘anniversary’ with a chat. A reflection. To start off, you are inescapable and at times, let’s be honest, a first class arse hole. You have seen me […]
SmarTrike contacted me just over 7 weeks ago to see whether we would like to trial their latest addition- the smarTfold. Florence was turning one and we had just moved to Cheltenham so it seemed like the perfect opportunity to get out and explore our new […]
