Let me get one thing straight. I love food. I love talking about it. I love cooking it and, of course I love eating it. I think grub is one of life's most fabulous things. I could not imagine an existence where dinner meant pushing a lettuce leaf round a plate. But I also [...]
COURGETTE BLIMEY: This pretend pasta dish will float your boat, not your bloat! Lots of people find it hard to give up pasta, even though most admit that after eating it they feel bloated, sluggish and uncomfortable, even end up with gut cramp. This is because, generally, most of us don't tolerate wheat [...]
I love greens. I'm practically addicted to spring cabbage and kale, but I'm not a massive fan of broccoli. I eat it because I know it's good for me, but I'm always looking for new ways to make it more appealing. Cooking it in a pan with coconut oil is amazing. I eat tons [...]

Like a lot of women I've spent a good proportion of my adult life "on a diet" and ironically also being overweight! I've tried every diet going and I've lost count of the times I've joined weekly slimming clubs vowing that this would be the last time only to fall of the wagon and rejoin [...]
I'm not blowing my own trumpet - okay, I am a bit - but if I'd been served up a dish with as much flavour as this in a restaurant I'd have been sending my compliments back to the chef. I probably wouldn't have licked the plate like a I did at home, mind. [...]
