LABEL LOWDOWN

The labels on food can be confusing, misleading and sometimes fudge the truth. I got asked the other day what the diff was between LACTOSE-FREE & DAIRY-FREE, so if this ones tripped you up before, here’s the dealio... LACTOSE-FREE - these are usually still made...

How much water should you be drinking?

You know the feeling, 8 glasses of water per day seems impossible, but 8 glasses of wine can be done in one meal. But how much water should you be drinking? It differs from person to person, based on your weight. Here's the simple formula: Check your weight in kilos....

USING HONEY IN YOUR HEALTHY BAKING

So there’s a bit of an art/science to baking at the best of times, but paleo baking steps it up a notch by using ingredients that don't act entirely the same way as your standard sugars and flours. You know, unpredictable, like me after a few vinos. One of my...

Fancy a coffee in Dubai Studio City?

Big ups to everyone who has shown their support of our little café home and chosen to get their caffeine fix with us. Deadset legends. Now while I know most of us like a good cup o’ Joe and we know what we like, here’s a little run down in case you feel all rebellious...
Sweet Chilli Jam

Sweet Chilli Jam

I don’t get people who don’t like spicy food. It’s like saying you don’t like puppies or rainbows or nailing the lyrics to Ice Ice Baby when it comes on the radio. Spicy food is the tits and if you don’t agree well, I’m afraid you’re wrong. So if you’re easing into...

Steak Sauce

Steak Sauce

Feeling saucy? I’ve just upped your BBQ game with the invention of this deliciousness. You know A1 sauce? Well this home-made goodness is the one worthy of such high praise, and I’m down-grading that commercial, corn syrup-laden bitch to a B2. Don’t worry, you don’t...

Are you looking for ways to cut carbs? I find a knife is the best solution...or you could try whipping up this flatbread. Grains and gluten can give some people a bad guts - pain, bloating and horrendous farts, which is a bit of a punch in the tit,...

Greens & Seeds Breakfast Bowl

Greens & Seeds Breakfast Bowl

ERR MA GAWD, I'm so on trend here with this Brekky Bowl (or Buddha Bowl if you're fluent in hipster). I'm like the Ashley Olsen of the breakfast world. Or is it Mary-Kate? Anyway, I'll be the one that looks less like an orangutan. This has a little...

Tropical Granola

Tropical Granola

"Do you like Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain?" You can stick the rain, but damn right I like Pina Coladas! However, they aren't usually acceptable before 9am, so you might have to make do with my Tropical Granola. If you decide to top...

Broccoli Flatbread

Broccoli Flatbread

OK, so does anyone else sing the "Chopping Broccoli" song from Saturday Night Live when they're actually chopping broccoli? No. Just me then. As you were. Well, next time, instead of just chopping broccoli (I literally just sang it again as I typed...

Smoked Salmon Frittata

Smoked Salmon Frittata

Frittata. The ultimate lazy meal. A bit like an omelette, but you don't have to flip it. Bit like a quiche but you don't have to bother yourself with a pesky crust. A bit like you've gone to some trouble, but really you just used up what was in...

Green Smoothie

Green Smoothie

I know, I know, green smoothies are the epitome of breakfast wankery. Drank by Instagram model-wannabes and fitspo douche-canoes the world over. But hold up, before you start thinking I'm a basic bitch, hear me out. Besides how nutritious and...

Sweet Potato Protein Breakfast Bowl

Sweet Potato Protein Breakfast Bowl

So here's a recipe for all the whingey whiners who complain that they don't know what to have for breakfast when they ditch the bread and cereal. Paleo breakfasts don't always have to be bacon and eggs you know (except why anyone has an issue with...

Sweet potato and chorizo frittata

Sweet potato and chorizo frittata

Sitting at the breakfast buffet in Barcelona eyeing off the traditional Tortilla Espanola, I contemplated whether it would work as well with sweet potato. Obviously as soon as I arrived home I gave it a shot. Then it dawned on me, why just stop at...

Paleo Hacks: Our Acai of Choice

With the opening of the cafe has come the launch of our signature LOADED AÇAI BOWLS, and so far they’ve been a hit! Now I’ve done a fair bit of açai consumption in my time (it’s called research Susan, look it up!) I’ve had good ones and bad ones,...

Lamb Harira Soup

Lamb Harira Soup

I loves me some Moroccan soup! The original is full of bloaty fart bombs like chickpeas and lentils, but I’ve tidied this guy up and pumped him full of veg instead, but still full of those punchy spices. Too delicious to just keep for Ramadan,...

Paleo Hacks: How to up your burger game

Everyone loves a good burger right? They’re a simple, cheap and kid-friendly meal. They’re also a good way to delegate part of the meal prep process and keep all those cooking smells outdoors. Smart. Now, my burgers are a more deconstructed affair seeing as I go sans bun, but here’s some tips on making a […]
