Salmon curry with mustard seeds

This salmon cooked in sauce is DELICIOUS. If you want make the cook-in sauce in advance to save faff if you’re having people around. The original recipe by Madhur Jaffrey involves marinating the...

One-ingredient buckwheat sourdough bread (GF)

I’ve never made sourdough bread before. I've always thought minding a sourdough “starter” or "mother" seems like a big faff and I'm a more lackadaisical cook. I never found a good recipe – until...

Christmas Pudding Truffles (no-cook!)

Want to have a few Christmas-with-a-twist treats? These have those seasonal flavours. Try them - they're lovely as well as being super-easy to make. Thankyou to Parry Marsh, whose recipe this...

Gorgeous mild-spiced lentil soup

Now Autumn's here and with it some crazy storms I've rediscovered this high protein immune-supporting soup that's a bowl full of sunshine. To make it into a complete meal add a cupful of cooked...

Gretl’s gingerbread cookies biscuits (SC Diet)

Naturally gluten-free and grain-free, I really like these. This recipe is from Raman Prasad’s Specific Carbohydrate Diet Cookbook. The SC diet can be magical for getting people with inflammatory...

Best ever potato salad (Greek style)

This is my all-time favourite potato salad. A far cry from the claggy, low-grade ones made with health-sabotaging refined oil. Amazingly, cold potatoes have very different health-giving...

Hummus (or houmous?)

There's nothing like home-made hummus for flavour. It's super-easy to do and if you like it, make a big batch and freeze some for the future. 1 mugful of cooked chickpeas (or haricot,...

Black forest gateau with a twist

This is LOVELY! Unlike most gluten-free cakes this stays moist and delicious for days. Just don’t tell anyone that its high protein, gluten-free, almost grain-free and almost totally free of...

Greek style feta, aubergine and mint salad

Just invented this last week from what we had in the fridge. It's LOVELY with its blend of salty, smokey and fresh flavours. Lovely with a fresh mixed salad. Make sure to buy actual feta which is...

SCD crumble topping for Christmas mince pies

Nov 30, 2021 | Anna's Best Recipes, Cakes, biscuits & bars, Desserts & drinks

I love this crumble which I make often for apple crumble. This quantity will top one 9 inch (23cm) diameter tart made in a pie dish or pyrex plate with possibly a little left over. You want the...

Tahini salad dressing

Oct 22, 2021 | Anna's Best Recipes, Dressings, rubs, spreads, sauces & more

This is gorgeous Middle Eastern style dressing - creamy, tangy and moreish. Drizzle it over a salad or grilled/roast fish or chicken. If you want you can use a little less water or kefir to make...

Super simple roast cauliflower

Oct 3, 2021 | Anna's Best Recipes, Sides, starters, soups & snacks

I love this and I've made it so many times now I don't need a recipe. Make it as cauliflower "steaks" or florets (a bit faster). If you prefer an Indian vibe use a spice blend of 1 level tsp each...

No-bake chocolate coconut cookies

May 26, 2021 | Anna's Best Recipes, Cakes, biscuits & bars

I can’t remember the cookbook these come from but my thanks to the amazing Emily and Patrick at Madawaska who produced these gorgeous bites using gluten-free oats. They didn’t last long. If you have...

Braised asparagus

Mar 12, 2021 | Anna's Best Recipes, Sides, starters, soups & snacks

I LOVE this and it takes less than 10 minutes to cook. Have it as a side, or sprinkle with my vegan Parmesan (recipe on blog) or grated Parmesan and enjoy as a starter. Asparagus is contains...

Vegan “Parmesan”

Feb 25, 2021 | Anna's Best Recipes, Dressings, rubs, spreads, sauces & more, Sides, starters, soups & snacks

If you're dairy sensitive, one of the things you might miss is a sprinkle of Parmesan here and there. I LOVE this recipe for vegan Parmesan from Angela Elliot's raw vegan cookbook "Alive in 5". One...

Easy venison or beef stew with celeriac

Feb 7, 2021 | Anna's Best Recipes, Main courses

I love to make this and put half in the freezer for a lovely fast dinner some other time. I like to save half the skin of an organic orange to use in this recipe. I just chop it up small and it...

Vegetable curry with courgettes & peas

Jan 24, 2021 | Anna's Best Recipes, Main courses, Sides, starters, soups & snacks

This was a lovely curry my mother used to make from time to time. If you are making this a vegan dinner, its a great idea to bump up protein by serving with cooked quinoa and maybe adding some...

THE best Christmas cranberry sauce

Dec 17, 2020 | Anna's Best Recipes, Dressings, rubs, spreads, sauces & more

This is a FANTASTIC cranberry sauce and I normally don't like cranberry sauce. The original is FULL of sugar, which you'll know from my many social media posts and newsletters, lowers your immunity...
