Throughout my years as a blogger, my most constant and best source of inspiration has been other bloggers. As much as I love my cookbooks, my food magazines and my Saturday morning cooking shows, I love to see what other people are making in their own homes as part of their own busy, real lives….

Gluten Free American Buttermilk Pancakes
Whilst today Pancake Day is celebrated by people all over the world from many different cultures and backgrounds, it’s origins derive from the Christian practice of lent. Lent is a period of fasting and religious observance leading up to Easter Sunday, the beginning of which is marked by Ash Wednesday. Shrove Tuesday immediately precedes Ash…
Homemade Fakeaways – Stir Fried Pork in Black Bean Sauce for Chinese New Year
With Chinese New Year today, what better opportunity to come up with a tasty new homemade takeaway recipe! Chinese cooking isn’t something I’ve ventured much into, but it’s always been The Boyfriend’s favourite takeaway and I was given a Ken Hom cookbook for Christmas a couple of years ago which I’ve used it to learn…
Tried & Tested: Rick Stein’s Clementine & Almond Cake
Now that we’re gluten-free bakers in my household, I get super excited when I find recipes that are already gluten free and that I don’t have to adapt. Before Christmas I was particularly enjoying watching Rick Stein’s latest series: Road to Mexico. Reliving a road trip he took at the age of 21 he starts…
Aubergine, Sweet Potato & Butternut Bake
This January I decided to go vegetarian. This is not a permanent change for me, more a personal challenge, to see if I could stick to it and a chance to give my body a break after the incessant indulgence of the Christmas period. For the first week or two I was really enjoying it,…

Mixed Potato Spanish Tortilla
For many many years a proper Spanish tortilla has been one of my absolute favourite dishes. It’s the dish that got me to like eggs. In my early years I really vehemently hated eggs, even now I only like them in scrambled or omelette form, I can’t eat the whites and the yolks separately (I…
Gluten-free Chocolate, Courgette & Pumpkin Seed Loaf
I’m a huge fan of vegetables and I’ve always been one to stuff as many as possible into most of my meals. It goes without saying that the trend for vegetable cakes is right up my street. All of the vegetable cakes I’ve tried making have turned out really moist and delicious and you can’t…
One Pan Hake with Tomatoes & Beans
This is dish is one of my favourite midweek meals, mainly because it involves almost zero effort yet it feels a little bit fancy. I’ve made it in many various forms with different types of beans and different types of fish but this combination has to be my favourite. Any white fish will work, I…
