After eating without thinking for four decades, suddenly the word Coeliac entered my life, which in turn brought two other words. Gluten. Free. This blog tracks my personal food journey and experiences. I hope you enjoy it.

I look at this pic now and think I could almost have called this salad a rainbow salad – it has so many colours in it. It came from a desire for a) a craving for health and all sorts of vegies, and b) to not...READ ON»

I’m just welcoming myself back to my blog, after some thinking time away. There’s been lots of cooking, lots of photography, lots of learning and lots of eating going on. Hopefully I can share some of the new discoveries with you. In the interim, here’s some of my recent favourite...READ ON»

About Me
