I'm working on fantastic new recipes for everyone out there with food intolerances, allergies & sensitivities to sugar, wheat & dairy. Watch this space and if you have any special requests email me and I will dream something up! In the meantime, check out those below...

Wholegrain Spelt Bread

Us Irish like our bread. We have it as toast in the morning, for lunch as a sandwich and maybe even with our dinner in the evening. There are so many different breads on the supermarket shelves that you would think our needs would be catered to, but so many are tasteless and nasty, full of sugar, salt and weird preservatives that, honestly, I don't consider them bread at all. read more here...

Quinoa Salmon Burgers

Getting oily fish into my weekly diet isn't always easy. I love to cook and yet, cooking fish is where I often fall flat on my face. Somehow I end up with overcooked rubbery lumps of tasteless mush. This recipe is really easy...read more here...

Millet Tabbouleh

Millet is a fantastic alternative to wheat and cous cous.  It is a wonderful source of magnesium, zinc, potassium & phosphorous as well as being alkaline forming, so helps to combat the acid forming processes that occur naturally in our bodies! This recipe is a gorgeous fragrant light but filling salad, I really love it! read more here...

Detox brekky

It's sometimes hard to know what to eat while on a detox. For some, a detox is an all out fast, for others it's just a matter of cutting out tea, coffe, alcohol and sugar. For me, it's somewhere in between. So, if you're cutting out all the rubbish, what do you eat for breakfast? Believe it or not, eggs for breakfast are still a great option...read more here...

Detox Dinner

What to cook for a detox dinner? You've had to work all day, you're feeling a bit rubbish from the lack of coffee/tea/sugar/vice of your choice. Sound familiar? Here's an easy veggie meal, which takes about 25 minutes to prepare, less if you cook the millet the night before! This is a green delight, full of fibre, magnesium, b vitamins, protein from the millet and no nasties to mess up your detox. Try it here

Beetroot & Apple Salad

Here is a recipe for a super liver lifting salad. Try it for lunch or as a side salad in the evening. Beetroot is a wonderful vegetable for the liver. It is rich in potent phytochemicals and antioxidants, which protect cells from free radical damage. Beetroot also contains betaine, which aids liver function and cellular reproduction, among other chemical processes. Read more here...

Spelt Pastry

Spelt is an ancient grain which has not been farmed as intensively as wheat and therefore remains much as it was when humans first started growing it. It also contains less gluten than wheat so is easier to digest. Wholegrain spelt flour contains a broader range of nutrients in comparison to it's more inbred cousins, including manganese, B3, phosphorous and magnesium. If you'd like to experiment with spelt, why not start here?

Guilt (and cramp) free pancakes!

I know for sure, a number of people who felt they couldn't partake in pancake Tuesday. Why? They can't stomach dairy and sometimes wheat is just too much for them to handle. There's a solution though...a world of alternative milks and a glorious selection of wheat free flour, like spelt. If you can't touch gluten, there's tapioca, buckwheat, rice and potato flour. Pancake Tuesday is back in the diary and even all year round! Check out a gorgeous wheat & dairy free recipe here...

Hearty Thai Style Curry

This curry is one I've adapted from the wonderful new Cornucopia cookbook. I find the recipe there a little longwinded and complicated, but it is in essence a beautiful balance of flavour & heartiness. I love it when I feel the need to nourish my body and still feel well fed! More here...
