Beautiful Crystal Bay Prawns
Prior to Christmas I had read on one of the Facebook forums about Crystal Bay prawns. Most prawns are soaked in Sodium Metabisulphite as soon as they are caught. So even if you can tolerate amines, these are not suitable if you are trying to avoid preservatives. Crystal Bay prawns are the exception. They are available… Read more

Fish Stir Fry
Fish stir fry has been a bit of a constant in our house. Not made every week, it is one of those recipes that I have been trying to perfect since the early days, so keep revisiting. I think I finally have it right now – thank’s to Failsafe Foodie’s Magic Sauce. Because this recipe… Read more

Buttermilk marinades are very versatile and can be used on most meats. I’ve only tried it on chicken so far, but intend to… Read more

Tuna Stir Fry

Home Made Pizzas
Pizza’s used to be a pretty regular menu item in our house before the elimination diet came along – take away ones that is. From our very first week of the elimination diet, home made pizzas have been a bit of a staple. We usually make them after having a roast chicken (using the leftovers),… Read more

Home Made Sushi

BBQ Salmon and Scallops with Chips and Lentil and Rice Salad
Salmon is an Oscar favourite and almost a guarantee that he will eat something. Scallops we have never cooked before, but they are low chemical and were really easy on the BBQ.

Since then, fried lentils have become a… Read more

Tomato-based sauces and pestos are off the menu and none of the cheese-based sauces at the supermarket are suitable either,… Read more
