For me, free range turkey is one of the most underrated meats. It's often overlooked in favour of chicken, when in truth it’s a lot more versatile, whilst still being lean and high in protein. Lean turkey mince is brilliant to use in chillies, but it also binds really well to make delicious turkey burgers. […]
Guacamole is another one of those things that is definitely worth making instead of buying. That way, you can be sure what’s in it – and know that it won’t contain any nasties! This is how I make mine. Guacamole Ingredients: 4 chillies, finely sliced Small bunch coriander (cilantro), finely chopped 3 tomatoes, finely diced […]
Concluding my focus on common deficiencies, this week turns to CLA. CLA stands for Conjugated Linoleic Acid and is the good trans-fat that occurs naturally in dairy and meat products – especially when animals have been grass-fed, another plus for the Paleo diet. In the stomach of animals such as the goat, sheep or cows […]

The answer is no, and here’s the reason why… Pseudo grains are actually seeds, not grains, but are loaded with anti nutrients and carb heavy. […]
Literally bursting with beta carotene and vitamin c, the ginger in this soup packs a real zing while the turmeric and coriander provide delicate and warming undertones. Enjoy it as an appetiser with friends, and make plenty extra to have for lunch the next day! Delicious topped with toasted, flaked almonds. I'm sure this will […]
A dehydrator is a great way of adding some variety into your Paleo diet. There are loads of great dehydrators on the market, like the Excalibur – but you don’t have to buy a dedicated dehydrator, as you can dehydrate produce directly in your oven. A dehydrator is an indispensable machine if you want to […]
I hate “food” products that masquerades as healthy and natural. I fear that well some meaning parents will buy these products for their children, believing that they are giving them healthy nutritious food. So many products have packaging covered in words like “natural”, “made with real fruit“, “no artificial colours or flavourings” which I think […]
