There is nothing like having visitors over to prompt you to clean the house. Am I right? We had our first dinner guests for at least 18 months last weekend. Our house got a thorough clean-up! But truthfully, we cleaned then I cooked. That was the wrong way round. Because by the time I finished …
Apple Muffins
A gluten-free, nut-free and refined-sugar-free muffin that is guilt-free. These muffins are so healthy you can have them at any time of the day.

Mango Sorbet
With the weather warming up I thought I would share my simple Mango Sorbet recipe. Most of the time involved is in freezing the mango in the freezer. But once frozen this can be made and served in a matter of 5 minutes. All you need is a food processor. No ice-cream churn is required. …
Turmeric Fruit Nut & Seed Loaf
I have been in quarantine with my husband who caught COVID so I have been in recipe creating mode. This has been one of the successes. There were quite a few failures, the gluten-free chocolate chip muffins were a complete failure. I know, anything with chocolate couldn’t possibly be a failure. But in this case, …

Roast Pumpkin Soup with Garlic Greek Yoghurt
What better than warm and nourishing soup on a cold and wintery day? I love a hearty bowl of soup. When I was younger one of my favourite dinners was a bowl of tomato soup (yes, it was probably Campbells from a can) and toasted cheese sandwiches. I skip the toasted cheese these days, …

Apple Galette
Dessert time!!! It’s cold and wintery again here in Melbourne, and we are again in lockdown. So it’s time to bake a warm delicious dessert. But this one is free from refined sugars and gluten. It is certainly NOT lacking in its decadence as a delicious dessert. It tastes divine alone or with some heavy …

Today your recipe is aimed to warm you up from the inside. To add extra warmth it contains chilli. Feel free to add more or less depending …
Cinnamon Raisin and Cranberry Bread
Sometimes I just want a slice of fruit toast for breakfast. In my prior life when I ate as much as I liked of whatever I liked, I really enjoy a dense fruit toast slathered in butter. I used to struggle to eat just one or two slices of the gluten-filled, sugar-filled, factory-made, chemical-laden bread. …
BBQ Beef in the Pressure Cooker
Using a pressure cooker gives you all the tenderness of a slow cooker but in a fraction of the time. I love mine. When using a pressure cooker for big cuts of beef it is a good idea to release the pressure slowly. With the quick-release, it tends to lose some of the tenderness and …
Maple Dijon Slow Cooked Beef
Using my slow cooker is one of my favourite ways to get tender meat everytime. You could use any beef in this recipe, and chuck steak would work well as the cartilage and sinew would break down well and become so tender and flavorsome! Prepare in the morning and devour in the evening! Tender Beef …
Chicken Liver Pate
Getting the nutritional benefits of organ meat can be challenging. Not everyone loves to eat brains, kidneys, or offal of any kind. But I do find most people can tolerate and maybe even enjoy some pate. You can make this recipe with any type of liver. Chicken tends to be very mild in its flavour profile …
Chicken San Choy Bow
I love Asian inspired food. I think it is the use of the sour and umami together. This recipe uses mirin sauce which is sweet rice wine. It is probably not technically paleo, but it does add a sweet touch to the sour of the rice wine vinegar and the umami (savory taste) of the …
Creamy Chicken and Mushroom Soup
When you are looking for an easy dinner with very little hands-on time. Then this slow-cooker dinner is perfect. It is a ‘throw-it-all-in’ and come back four hours later type of recipe. Yet it is full of nutrients and tastes divine. Did you know mushrooms are nearly a whole separate food group to themselves? They …
Pumpkin Spice Nice-Cream
As the weather starts to warm up, dessert is moving from warm winter puddings, to cool, smooth and refreshing ice-creams. This nice-cream is nice for your belly as it is dairy-free, refined sugar free and full of flavour. I always keep some frozen bananas so this can be whipped up at a moment’s notice. Enjoy. …
