I used to bake this particular recipe a lot when I was younger as a special treat. In its original form it’s decadent, rich chocolate and full of sugar! I remembered the recipe recently and decided to give it a makeover to make it gluten and dairy free and much lower in sugar. The result […]
Warning – These cookies are addictive! One is just not enough as we found out when I made them for the first time. My first attempt went a bit awry as I used the wrong quantity of flour resulting in flat cookies that were more like biscuits, but boy did they taste amazing! Undeterred I made […]
This is one of my favourite sweet treat recipes. It’s moist, light (crumbly) & totally delicious. The best bit is that if you don’t tell anyone that there is no flour or butter in the brownies they don’t know and they will certainly never guess it’s made with beans!! So not only is it dairy […]
Who doesn’t love a good shortbread? It’s one of those things that I’d given up on being both gluten- and dairy-free. So, I set about experimenting until I found a recipe that works and tastes delicious. These two recipes are the result. One is gluten-free made with butter (for those who can tolerate butter), the […]
If you’re dairy and gluten free, Christmas can look awfully gloomy. Everyone else is scoffing delicious goodies and you have to sit and watch. Or at least you used to. There are so many good options and alternatives out there now that you don’t need to be left out any more. Just look round most […]

I do love cake (I mean who doesn’t?!). But, when you’re gluten free, dairy and even egg free cake becomes something that tends to be left out. Having said that, more and more cafes are offering gluten free options and dairy free is up and coming but unless there is a vegan offering egg free […]
I wanted to create something a bit different that used some fresh herbs from my garden, was high in protein so it doesn’t spike your blood sugar level and is totally delicious. Here is the result. They’re quick and easy to make (great to do with the children), are gluten & dairy free and vegan […]
Zimtsterne (Cinnamon Stars), are a favourite gluten and dairy free treat at this time of the year in Germany. Unfortunately, whilst they are delicious they are very high in sugar. As part of the work I do at the Alliance for Natural Health we decided to do an experiment recently to see how the addition of […]
This year I grew a pumpkin. Admittedly it wasn’t a very big pumpkin, but I was determined to use it to make something nice and this is what I came up with – Pumpkin ‘Bread’. This recipe is gluten free and can be dairy free and egg free (so vegan), I’ve given you options to […]
