Well these certainly got a good response from my very first Instagram reel! And I promised there that if enough people commented I’d post the recipe so here it is! These are so utterly, mouth-wateringly delicious you will want to make them instantly! Of course, they’re also free from gluten, dairy, refined sugar and eggs….

No-Bake Chocolate Coconut Brownies
I saw a recipe for Decadent Coconut Brownies on My Relationship with Food – an amazing blog (and recipe book!) that I love, by Lisa Roukin. I knew as soon as we could entertain after quarantine I’d make her recipe and I did just that yesterday! I adapted the recipe a bit, based on what…
Chocolate Orange Cake Bites
For anyone who is a fan of my famous orange cake with chocolate ganache topping, this is for you! I decided to make that, but just add cacao and not do the ganache topping. I put it in a square tin instead of round like with the orange cake, and cut it into bites. The…
Savoury Flapjacks
Who doesn’t love a flapjack? Only problem is, they can be a bit buttery and sickly sometimes. More than that, in my house, there are very few ways I can get goodness into my kids who just refuse to eat anything that might contribute to one of their five (eight) a day, which means I…
Coconut Lemongrass Sticky Rice
A Thai friend of mine posted during Lockdown a traditional Thai recipe of her mum’s for mango sticky rice. That very instant I had a hankering for it that I just couldn’t get out of my head. I had to have it. But I didn’t have mango or special rice or all the equipment she…
Gluten Free Pear & Peach Crumble
Here we are in the midst of Covid-19 Lockdown. A whole article (probably more) can be dedicated to all the facets that make up that subject but this one is solely about food. Crumble, namely. Because when at home, make crumble. I’m not one for tinned fruit generally, as they tend to have sugary syrups…

Blueberry Tahini Oat Bars – Baby Led Weaning Recipe
I’ve been adding tahini to everything recently. My friend found it weird, saying, Isn’t it only for savoury dishes? NOOOOOOOO! Tahini is so versatile and probably one of the best possible ways to get calcium into little ones. I’ve been dipping pretty much all of Vida’s food in it! I wanted to make her some…
Carrot & Courgette Muffins – Baby Led Weaning Recipe
The never-ending quest to find enough recipes to satisfy our newly-weaned babies’ appetites and need to discover new flavours… I try to be as organised as possible with meals for my family, but it’s still the same every day for breakfast and lunch: what will she have today… Muffins that are not sweet but have…
BLW Tuna Sweet Potato & Veg Croquettes
Running out of ideas for baby led weaning meals? I made these a few days ago for Vida as she’s really starting to hate the spoon! I made easily transportable food for our holiday but she was having none of it and has now let me know that she plans on being an exclusive baby…
