4 Ingredient Ginger nut Cookies

4 Ingredient Ginger nut Cookies

STOP THE PRESS! THESE COOKIES CONTAIN JUST 4 INGREDIENTS! Forget shop bought ginger nut biscuits which are full of grains, refined sugar, dairy and other nasties, these my friends are going to be the nicest cookies you have made all year. Not only is ginger great…

Smoked Paprika, Apple and Thyme Meatballs

Smoked Paprika, Apple and Thyme Meatballs

The importance of where our meat has come from is a subject we should all be aware of. To retain all of its natural goodness and flavour you should look for ethically produced meats reared on grass in a happy, healthy environment. What is good for the…

Double Chocolate Superfood Cups

Double Chocolate Superfood Cups

A little while a go, Meg at Raw Halo contacted me and asked me whether I would like to create a recipe for her to use at the Fare Healthy event in September. Raw Halo is my favourite raw chocolate brand around and Meg has…

Banana and Chia muffins (Vegan / Egg-Free )

Banana and Chia muffins (Vegan / Egg-Free )

At 1am on the morning of the Barnes Food Fair I looked at all piles of brownies, energy balls, Quiche, cinnamon bites and roasted nuts and suddenly panicked that I didn’t have enough (delusion had clearly set in). In the corner of my eye I saw…

Artificial Sweeteners: yay or nay

Artificial Sweeteners: yay or nay

In a culture where calories count more than what’s actually in the foods we’re putting in our body, I have decided to explore the main culprit of the zero-calorie obsession, artificial sweeteners. Losing weight can be a tasteless and dull experience, however, what seems to make…

Last weekend at Barnes Food Fair was a huge success, I adored every moment of it and thank you all so much for your supportive words of encouragement and to those who came along! I had completely sold out of everything by 4pm which was a…

Chilli and Lemon Roasted Almonds

Chilli and Lemon Roasted Almonds

One of my favourite snacks of the moment is flavoured almonds. Not shop bought ones I must first add- as these can be coated in lots of unsavoury additions that make the simple almond a bit of a health hazard. Available all year round, almonds are…

English Breakfast Mini Frittatas

English Breakfast Mini Frittatas

Every weekday morning I walk through the tube station and pass a McDonald’s. It’s the one place that always, no matter what time of day or night, has a queue running outside the door with people piled into it. Lots of teenagers appear there daily to get their 7:30am…

Mrs P’s Chocolate Fudge Aubergine Brownies

This could quite possibly be one of my favourite recipes to date… and one I have been so excited to share with you all since I created it a few weeks ago. As with all my recipes I always try them at least 3-4 times…

Spinach and Onion Quiche (Gluten free, Dairy free)

Spinach and Onion Quiche (Gluten free, Dairy free)

Last week on my way home from work, whilst sat on the bus,  I watched in complete disbelief as a mother (laden with shopping bags filled with boxes of cereals, fruit juice and pizza) handed her young son a family sized bag of crisps, a large…

Crispy Paprika Prawns

Crispy Paprika Prawns

One thing that I really try not to do when creating Paleo recipes is over complicate things. For me the worst recipes are those with bucket loads of ingredients that a) you can hardly pronounce let alone know what they are b) cost the earth…

Simple Herb Pastry (Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Low Carb)

Simple Herb Pastry (Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Low Carb)

It has taken me a while but I have cracked it and I think this recipe is probably my biggest triumph yet. Gluten and dairy free herby pastry and yes ma’am does it taste spectacular too. I feel that with the chicken nuggets and perfect…
