About

Who am I?

Well, one way or another you’ve come to my site. Welcome! 🙂

If you have a look back through the archives you’ll see that I think about food, a lot. Not just eating it, but how I can recreate and adapt meals to a Low-Carb/High-Fat (LCHF) and grain-free diet.

When I travel, my priority is where I’m going to eat and when I get home I like to recreate our favourite meals. Not always easy with certain ingredients.

I’m not a professional chef, although I have worked in the industry and eaten at a lot of good restaurants 🙂 I have a strong dislike for faux-food and processed cr*p so I also have the odd rant……..

We have the smallest kitchen imaginable, a household budget to stick to and I don’t always get it right, but I’ve never made a total-fail meal. There is always a way to save the day!

Food waste makes me angry; not just because of world poverty (although that’s, like, pretty awful) but because food prices are rising so we need to do more with less.

I do follow a predominantly LCHF/ Primal lifestyle. Does this mean I never eat ‘carbs’? Let’s get this straight – vegetables are carbohydrate. I eat more vegetables than some vegetarians! What I avoid is processed starches (bread, pasta, corn) and food with added sugar. Learn more
here and here.

Hope you enjoy your visit, and do feel free to comment but we don’t like SPAM here.

Can I help you?

Want to eat better?

Challenged by dietary restrictions?

Want to lose some weight and gain energy?

Want to stop wasting money?

Want to take charge of your kitchen and feel like a domestic goddess?! 🙂

This is for busy people who want more variety in their diet, without resorting to expensive ready meals and takeaways, and people managing dietary restrictions who want to regain their love of food.

I want to give you the key skills to take apart any recipe and adapt to your requirements and budget. Let’s take the stress and frustration out of dinner times and make it a pleasure.

Unlike Diet Chef and Weight Watchers, this is not calorie-counting. It’s also not a prescribed eating plan – although I can help you put that together if you want it.

This is about cooking Real Food, and giving you the confidence to do it for yourself.

You can do better than a takeaway!
