Salted Caramel No Bake Dessert

Having been gluten free for a few years I’d pretty much got desserts down to a fine art but then I added being vegan and refined sugar free into the mix and the whole world changed. I can quite see why restaurants serve fruit salad or sorbet as the vegan dessert option but honestly there are times when that just doesn’t cut it. For a special occasion I like to make something that has had some thought put into it and this salted caramel nut butter dessert is just that. Layers of lusciousness that ooze luxury. It is super rich so you’ll only want a tiny slice which is probably for the best as it

Three Never Fail Gluten Free Bread Recipes

Giving up bread when you first become gluten free can feel like a massive sacrifice. I’ve hunted for shop brought breads and never really found anything that I’m entirely happy with. They’re either very dry and crumbly or have so many ingredients I can’t pronounce I wonder if they will do me any good nutritionally. I’ve experimented over the years with different bread recipes and these three batter breads are my ‘go to’s’ again and again. Don’t be put off by the ingredients and the fact that they are batters when they go into the tin. They really do all rise and taste delicious. Paleo Bread -

The Best Healthy Homemade Energy Bar

I was having a conversation with a mum from the rowing club about the virtues of homemade nut and seed bars and she mentioned she had a lovely recipe her teenage son adored. Me being me I got the ingredients together without really reading the full recipe and got started. I realised I didn’t have the vegan butter alternative it suggested so thought I’d improvise with oil and oat milk to create my own version of the bar. It wasn’t until I got to the end that I realised the original bars were raw and with my additions I really needed to bake them so I popped them in the over for 10 minutes and

Bread and Butter Pickle

This recipe was inspired by Julie Cooke who was inspired by Rick Stein in his Food Heroes series. I spent all my childhood holidays at Padstow in Cornwall so have a real affinity with the sea and all things Cornish. I was at one of Julie’s Christmas Pudding making workshops recently and she had a selection of her pickles to buy. I was rather silly and forgot to read all the pickle labels and got caught out eating something that had malt vinegar in it – which of course contains gluten from the barley! The silly thing is I know this and if I was at the supermarket would of course have checked

CARROT TAHINI HUMMUS

I was thinking about healthy savoury recipes I could make for snacking on while I’m in the middle of my 30 days to healthy living pan. I’ve pretty much given up sugar and so wanted some savoury snacks that would replace what I’d normally reach for when I have one of those standing at the fridge thinking what can I snack on moments! Here’s a great alternative to the classic hummus. Now you can make my classic hummus, beetroot hummus and carrot hummus to add some variety to your snacking experiences. INGREDIENTS 3 medium size carrots, peeled and roughly chopped 3 cloves garlic, peeled 1 400g can

I’m Fed up with Hummus recipe

I’ve been leading and participating in (on the grounds that I can then feel their pain - except that by day three I feel so fantastic I wonder why I don’t eat like this all year round) one of my 30 days to healthy living groups. One of the guiding principles is to balance the blood sugar as maintaining normal blood sugar levels is a very important part of avoiding long-term health issues, managing your weight and feeling good. I get remarkable results with our 30 days programme from weight loss and increased energy, to better sleep, less aches and pains, better breathing, glowing skin, hair
