This salad ticks all of the boxes: sweet apples, salty prosciutto and onions and that lovely crunch from the grilled prosciutto. I came up with this salad at the end of last summer, when my usual go-to fruit (figs!) were no longer available, or at least without mortgaging the house.

Gluten-free Broccoli Tabbouleh
More and more people seem to be choosing to follow vegetarian or vegan diets these days. I have several close friends who are always on the lookout for plant-based meals to satisfy their family vegetarian converts while complementing the rest of the family’s more protein-based meals. This gluten-free Broccoli-Tabbouleh is simply delicious. Something different as a mid-week side and because the broccoli is pulsed raw, it’s ‘tough’ enough to withstand the acidity of the dressing, so it can easily survive a day in the fridge once it’s dressed.
Paleo Seed and Nut Bread
Bread is such a staple of life and partner in life’s celebrations. Its differing forms are wonderful expressions of the characters and lifestyles of the people that it feeds, all telling a different story. I hope this recipe helps fill a gap in your family’s diet, if like us, for health reasons, you’ve had to abstain from gluten bread.
Vegan Lentil Moussaka/Shepherd’s Pie
I was disheartened by the speed that vegan dishes seemed to be inhaled by our family members.. Surely I could create a filling and tasty lentil bolognaise sauce and use it as easily as I would the real meaty version… I’m so pleased to say it was a total success; the baked eggplant moussaka version refined and particularly popular, but the creamy shepherd’s pie of mashed cauliflower and pumpkin also delicious and very filling.
Spicy Mango Fish
I came up with this recipe during those few magical weeks of summer holidays in Australia, where time stands still and the lazy metronome of cicadas and mosquitos plays its languid soundtrack to days spent at the beach, the sting of sea salt, sand and sun, catching up with family and friends over long, leisurely meals and the comforting reburgeoning of life in suburban backyards and gardens. I decided that coming up with something quick and new for dinner with a glass of cold kombucha or rose in hand was easier than rushing off to buy a whole set of fresh ingredients. My spicy mango fish captures the sweetness and easiness of summer. I hope you love this recipe as much as my family does.
Sugar-free Paleo Chocolate Orange Mousse
I have a soft spot for chocolate mousse. It is the very first dessert that I ever attempted solo as a very young teen. It was a total success and I was hooked. I couldn’t believe that following a recipe could create such magic..and that the chef was the alchemist.
Sugar-free, gluten-free Macadamia Caramel
When I was trialling recipes for a sugar-free toffee-apple, I stumbled upon this little taste sensation by mistake. I had rolled all of my apples in the toffee mixture and found that I still had some of the mixture left… I hope you enjoy their gorgeous butterscotch-caramel flavour.
Sugar-free Paleo Toffee Apples
One of my most favourite childhood food memories would have to be toffee. I LOVED everything about it, ( the preparation, watching transfixed as the mountain of fine white crystals melted into trickles and waves, resisting but finally giving in to the heat and transforming into a bubbling torrent of sweet, golden, viscous lava).
