I was lucky enough to receive a couple of crates of local walnuts from a friend, half of which have already travelled over the channel to be shared amongst relatives back in the UK. Every time I walk past my share I get another idea of what to do with them – such a versatile […]

Living grain free can be hard, especially this time of year. The shops and Christmas markets are full of so called “treats”, containing a lot of things that might not really be a treat for our bodies.
