texan style pulled beef brisket

I was going through some old recipe books this week, the type of old book’s that you handwrite your recipes into. Way before social media, blogs and Pinterest. I love the nostalgia of these types of books, tattered pages and torn out newspaper and magazine inserts. The tactile nature of this is something I miss in ...

gut friendly cheesy herb rolls

gut friendly cheesy herb rolls

These gut friendly cheesy herb rolls are an adaption, if not a fusion, of my Gut Friendly Bread and SIBO Friendly Bread recipes. The concept behind these rolls is to provide a more portable meal option for taking with you to work, or just out and about in general. I for one often toast ...

hubbard's  puttanesca

hubbard’s puttanesca

Well my usual Friday post time slot got slightly high-jacked thanks to a rather hectic week, so sorry to those who hoped to be making this puttanesca over the weekend just passed. Puttanesca is an authentic Italian dish. The name puttanesca actually refers to whore’s pasta, which I know is a little brash. The term comes from ...

I always like to give you a bit of a background on the development of a recipe. This one was born literally over the past week, purely after a consultation with one of my clients who requires quite a specific diet around her very complicated health issues.

rosemary & mustard savoury cookies

rosemary & mustard savoury cookies

Savoury cookies make people think twice when you mention them. Everyone is super comfortable with regular choc chip cookies, crunchy nut based cookies and even raw vegan cookies, which are not so much of an eyebrow raiser these days. For some reason though, savoury cookies tend to create a sense of trepidation. It reminds me ...

salted caramel porridge w hemp seeds, papaya + peanut butter

This porridge made its debut on Instagram literally months and months ago. I included the recipe with the post and it was a hit straight away, shared and made all over the world! Obviously bringing the recipe to the website was a must, so I’ve buckled down and made it happen this week just in ...

I’ve promised myself to bring you more winter warming dishes these next few months, delving into curries, braises and soups more. I know I personally tend to go more for meals that are quicker to make for a day prep and shoot, so its going to take being a bit more organised than usual. I ...

cashew hemp cheese w dill & chives

cashew hemp cheese w dill & chives

I’ve created this ‘cheese’ with a few things in mind. One, (and first and foremost) for pure flavour and enjoyment. Two, as a dairy free alternative for those that cannot eat dairy and miss the wonderful world that is cheese. Three, as a low FODMAP option for those that also cannot tolerate the garlic and ...
