Updated 23rd April 2024 I’ve always loved cottage pie. It’s yet another one of the many tasty meals I grew up tucking into, as it was something that my mum and grandma frequently made. Cottage pie is such a hearty and comforting meal. And thanks to Steve Wright on Radio 2 talking about the fondness […]

I’d heard great things about LEON restaraunts and their super gluten free offerings. So was delighted to discover that they had opened a branch at Cheshire Oaks (one of my favourite places to shop!). And on Wednesday, after a spot of Christmas shopping with my fabulous buddy Carol, we called in for our tea.

It was one of my absolute favourite lunches and always made me feel special too, as I’d generally have a whole cauliflower all […]

So yes, I popped these bakes together the other day and […]

Updated 7th September 2021 I’d always been a bit rubbish at making egg fried rice until somebody explained to me where I’d been going wrong. It was simply that I’d been adding raw beaten egg rather than cooked. Lightly frying the beaten egg, before adding it to the rice prevents the rice from becoming stodgy. […]

I consider myself to be a very lucky coeliac, as the route to my diagnosis was a quick and straightforward one, thanks to the keen eye of my GP. Unfortunately, that’s not the case for many people. It’s been said that in the UK it can take on average 13 years to get a medical […]

I love pavlova. In fact, if picking from a menu it would probably be my first pudding of choice. Gluten free sticky toffee pudding or a fabulous ice cream would also be huge contenders! One of the many great things about a pavlova, is that it is also naturally gluten free. Hoorah! Of course when […]
