So the bountiful August is well and truly in swing… filled with beans, potatoes, herbs, carrots, garlic, beetroot and of course courgettes… Our Allotmenting this year has been less productive than in previous years, mainly because I’ve been focused on getting my yoga class up and running alongside studying…I’m spread pretty thin but Tim andContinue reading “Courgetti Ratatouille”

Bananarama Bread, Tasty as a Gluten-free Gherkin Bee…
Moist and sweet, glorious gluten free, sugar free banana bread recipe
Homemade Burgers & BBQ Salads
So in the spirit of Summer (apparently it’s here in Britain although you wouldn’t know)… here’s my home-made BBQ. Albeit to be consumed under a brolly in a shivering 16C whilst pretending it’s not raining and it’s actually hot… I’m not complaining, I’m not I’m not… In a bid to cut out the sulphites,Continue reading “Homemade Burgers & BBQ Salads”
Reasons to be healthy, 1…2…3…or Bending over backwards for health!
This is Lupa the Immortal. Well, technically speaking this is an offspring of Lupa the Immortal, my sourdough starter which came in to being in the very early days of writing this blog (read more in ‘Sourdough, the worlds slowest bread‘). Lupa spends most of her time in the fridge, slowly fermenting… sometimes she’sContinue reading “Reasons to be healthy, 1…2…3…or Bending over backwards for health!”
Pink Potato, Fennel & Leek Soup
The temperature has dropped again and it seems like everyone is poorly… Mine included. So we’re bundled up with sniffs and snivels and only hot soup and toast will do. That along with chamomile tea and ginger biscuits! No problem though, snuggling on the sofa and reading back to back Roald Dahl is a treat…Continue reading “Pink Potato, Fennel & Leek Soup”
Spaghetti Puttanesca for One…
There’s something quite wonderful about being home alone, just myself to please and my own whims and fancies to indulge… It means strong salty flavours, preserved fish, anchovies, smoked mackerel, salmon and carbs. There’s a whole lot of love wrapped up in a dish for one, and this spaghetti puttanesca sums it up for me…Continue reading “Spaghetti Puttanesca for One…”
Chicken Pasanda With Cauliflower, Coconut & Almond ‘Rice’
This isn’t a fad. Don’t mistake this one for a carb-avoiding gluten-free fashion supper… Although it happens to be those things! For me it’s an alternative, I just didn’t fancy rice, and I do love cauliflower, and it does happen to be delicious! Have you tried my vegetarian Mushroom Pasanda recipe by the way? ThisContinue reading “Chicken Pasanda With Cauliflower, Coconut & Almond ‘Rice’”
Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs…
Kids love Meatballs! It’s another food that could contain literally anything as far as they are concerned (and depending where they come from its possible they do)… but home-made it’s possible that they’re full of good nourishment, love and a few hidden extras if you like? This recipe is very simple, it makes 18 meatballsContinue reading “Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs…”
Lasagne & Roast Potatoes Anyone? Or Herby Red Lentil Lasagne…
It wasn’t until I was a grown up that anyone questioned our standard family supper of lasagne and roast potatoes… It gives me quite a giggle to think about it now! What a carb fest, extreme comfort food! Although I’ve dropped the addition of roast potatoes from this dish, I do often make a lasagne,Continue reading “Lasagne & Roast Potatoes Anyone? Or Herby Red Lentil Lasagne…”
Chilli Chicken Bestival Kebabs
So Tim spent last weekend at Bestival on the Isle of Wight… And amongst yoga, live music, DJs, Henna Tattoos and Ping Pong, there was food… Festival fuel! Sadly I wasn’t there to experience it… But I did get a little flavour of the festival on Thursday night when Tim put together these ‘a littleContinue reading “Chilli Chicken Bestival Kebabs”
