In my transition away from gluten products, my go to wrap was always a corn tortilla wrap. I have found over time that even corn can be irritating and heavy on digestion. A decision to drastically reduce grains has been my way recently, if any at all, and so the search of a wrap ensued.…

But sadly we didn’t have any bread and no-one could be bothered to go to the shops. Challenge accepted! Time to head to the cupboards and whip up an oh-so-easy-peasy olive and…

The one I most loved was a minted yoghurt and lamb meatball soup. But since I no longer eat any dairy food that one is off the table. So now I take inspiration…
About Me
Life in enriched with the in-between moments... a laugh at something silly, a shared conversation with a friend, a new connection at the supermarket, a butterfly on your morning walk, and a beautiful meal shared. Can we enrich the lives of others through meal time? Food is a necessity but it doesn't have to be a burden. I see the dining experience as a way to connect and nurture friends, family and myself! I hope you will share those with me.
