| Introduction | I started this blog several years back, but due to life and work, it has been neglected some what. The good thing is, my kitchen certainly hasn't! And I am still so passionate about cooking delicious, healthy recipes that can be altered to suit my diet restrictions and yours too! 15 years ago I was diagnosed with IBS and with an intolerance to a range of products. When I was first diagnosed in my teens, there was no such thing as a 'Free From' aisle in the supermarkets. My first introduction to mass produced, gluten free bread were filled with hilarity. They often resembled the tiny, wooden toast replicas you find in a toddler's toy kitchen and were either filled with cavernous holes which your jam or honey fell through or dissolved in the toaster when heat was applied. You wouldn't dare make a sandwich as the sight of filling would make the "bread" crumble away with fear. Due to the lack of substitutes at the time, I quickly started to adapt recipes to suit my tastes and requirements and have never looked back. I hope you find these recipes tasty and satisfying! |
| Interests | Cooking, fashion, reading, music, languages, writing, cinema, running, yoga, fitness, dog walks |
| Favorite movies | Anything with Denzel Washington, Audrey Tatou, Eric Bana or which has been directed by Tony Scott. Genre wise, it's either action thriller, european cinema or an alternative, non-linear, dialogue heavy production which makes you consider the bigger picture. |
| Favorite music | I'm an ecclectic music junkie, who enjoys practically anything from Nina Simone and Mardeleine Peyroux to The Rolling Stones to a clubland remix of a Lana Del Ray or Lykke Li track . |
| Favorite books | The secret life of bees, Never Let Me Go, Revolution, French women don't get fat, Ruby Wax's autobiography, a tiny bit marvellous, My life in France, Left Bank, Great Expectations, Jane Eyre........ |
