Pie week… DEGF Caramelised onion, potato and bean pies (Yes, they really are Dairy, Egg & Gluten free!) I had seriously forgotten how much I liked loved pies! The light but crisp crunch of the pastry breaking away to reveal a delicious mouthful of pure complimentary tastes. The meatiness of all that food in one bite (without the meat!) but…
Dairy & Gluten Free Vegetable Pie for Great British Pie Week Pies! Not something I eat very often I must admit! All that calorific pastry full of dairy, gluten and usually eggs too! Yesterday I was quickly checking my emails, when ‘Great British Pie Week’ caught my eye so I thought why not create a healthy tasty nutritious pie to celebrate!…

This week as I still had some left, I had a play with making some veggie balls and after a bit of trial and error, managed to perfect them! Of course, you can…
Cornish Pasties! This week in the UK, the wind and the rain have been battering us again and comfort food is definitely high up on the list! For breakfast, I have been having porridge, changing up the fruits and toppings daily – this morning it was mango with coconut yogurt and a dusting of mixed spice, with a sprinkle of…
Beans for your toast or jacket potatoes! Tinned baked beans are a great quick and easy food for many, but did you know they are packed with sugar and salt?

Chocolate Fondue! Yes indeed, we’ve gone back in time for a week! I’m blaming the local radio for this one after their chat about retro gadgets! The topic of fondue sets came up and one of the hosts was utterly baffled! Can you imagine not knowing the joy of dipping tasty treats into melty goodness? Anyway, it got me reminiscing…
