4th and final week of my detox! Peter says my skin is glowing and I’ve now lost 3.5kg. Yippee! I made this vegetable curry today and wanted to share it because it’s incredibly easy, and yet delicious. Again, it’s from Max Tomlinson’s book, Clean Up Your Diet. * gluten-free, wheat-free, dairy-free, yeast-free, soya-free, egg-free, nut-free,…

Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free Detox Persian Rice with Tomato & Saffron Sauce
It’s the 2nd weekend of my detox and it’s all going well! I’ve just made a lovely recipe from Max Tomlinson’s book, Clean Up Your Diet. Doing a detox is tough – there’s no getting around that. But there are so many benefits, including the fact that you find that you really appreciate the tastes,…
Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free Carrot & Beetroot Cupcakes
Zoë is now 2 years old! We had a birthday party in the park at the weekend to celebrate with her friends, including Ivy pictured here – and it was wonderful! For the tea I cooked chicken nuggets, squash nuggets, sweet potato wedges, gluten-free sausages and dips with vegetable sticks. And then I made Carrot…
Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free Chicken & Fennel Salad with Tzatziki
This is a spicy chicken and fennel salad with a fennel-flavoured tzatziki. I’ve made the tzatziki with soya yogurt – and I used Alpro plain. But I think that Alpro might have changed the recipe for their plain soya yogurt recently, as it tastes slightly sweet (and maybe with vanilla-flavouring?) to me now. So I’ve…
Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free Nectarine Tart
This pastry is beautifully light and stays a golden colour, even though the tart is in the oven for 50 minutes. For this to happen, you need to add a little more water than normal – so that there is enough moisture in the pastry – making it extremely sticky! Don’t worry – I’ve included…
Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free Spinach & Pine Nut Bake
I work as Publisher for a book publisher, where I run a list of cookery and natural health books called Nourish. We published a brilliant book called The Best Recipes for Babies & Toddlers by the founder of the Planet Organic stores, Renée Elliott. As Trudie Styler says, this book “is a wonderfully inspiring book…
Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free Apricot and Cardamom Soufflés
This is a soufflé with wonderful flavours from the apricots and cardamom. (I’ve used ½ teaspoon of ground cardamom, but if you want a more subtle taste, just use a little less.) Some soufflés are made using a custard mixture, which invariably uses flour, and others tend to use cream. But I’ve opted for a…
Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free Upside-Down Peach Cake
This is a wonderfully moist cake, with a beautiful topping of sliced peaches. I’ve added some soya milk to this recipe, which adds extra liquid and ensures the cake comes out of the oven a beautiful golden-brown colour. * gluten-free, wheat-free, yeast-free, dairy-free, seed-free 5 from 1 reviews Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free Upside-Down Peach Cake …
Dairy-Free Strawberry Soup
I’d read various recipes for Strawberry Soup and had always wanted to try one. So I experimented yesterday using balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, agave syrup and soya yogurt with the strawberries, and then added some mint. It was good but I thought I could get richer, sweeter tastes if I baked the strawberries and…
Super-Easy Gluten-Free and Dairy-Free Creamy Salmon Pasta
Taking some time to make a delicious meal is lovely – but often I want to be able to whizz something together with zero effort. So I made this Creamy Salmon Pasta recipe for lunch at the weekend. Zoe (who was almost 2 years’ old) loved it! Recently Peter and I went on a…
