I have just recently discovered Explore Asian’s new range of gluten free pasta and I must say I’m impressed. Sometimes nothing beats a giant bowel of steaming pasta, and this really helps to fill the spot without the guilt. Made from black beans, edamame, mung beans (or both!) and soybeans, these ‘noodles’ are high in protein… Read more »

The Essential Indian Spices Kit
Ah the ‘Masala dabba’ – a mandatory piece of kit in any Indian person’s home. It literally translates to spice (masala) tin (dabba) and contains all the essential Indian spices. With this tin in hand you can pretty much cook any Indian dish. Now, there are a host of different dishes and cultures within India,… Read more »
Quinoa granola – gluten and dairy free
Breakfast is genuinely my favourite meal of the day. Eggs, porridge, smoothies, pancakes… the options are endless. Granola is scrumptious (I’m a big fan of all the crunchy deliciousness), but the store bought versions are full of sugar – no good. I never eat it apart from on holiday where I’m a little more relaxed… Read more »

Almonds – one of my favourite go to snacks. Full of Vitamin E and healthy fats for beautiful hair, skin and nails, this little nut really packs a nutritional punch. Little tip – if you can, get them from an Indian shop – you’ll get a mahoosive bag for next to nothing, none of this £3.99… Read more »
Low carb, gluten free cauliflower pizza (yes, really!)
Bear with me, as I know pizza and low-carb is a bit of an oxymoron, but not anymore! I love pizza (er, who doesn’t right!) but the heavy wheat and dairy combo doesn’t fare well with me, so it’s very very rarely on my list of things to eat. Well that was until I discovered… Read more »
Salmon, courgette and sweet corn fritters
I love this recipe! It was a real discovery/experiment (read, I was about to start making dinner and realised I had nothing left in my fridge apart from salmon and courgettes!). It always amazes me how you can create dishes out of ‘nothing’. Serves 2-3 (about 8 fritters in total) Ingredients 2 – 3 fillets… Read more »
Prawn, avocado and coleslaw salad
Ah Summertime, how I love thee! Out with the heavy comforting foods, in with the light suppers and salads. This makes a great starter, or double up the portions for a main meal. The coleslaw is very simple but effective, and so much better than the heavy ‘would you like some carrots and cabbage with… Read more »
