Recipes

Currently, we have recipes on this site in two forms so there are two lists here. We’re working to create one list which will be searchable.

Grain Free Pastry

I sourced and then tweaked this recipe from the internet at Christmas so I could have some mince pies. They weren’t bad at all, and I would use it again. When I made them I didn’t have any coconut flour and so used something from an unlabelled jar in the cupboard. They turned out just […]

Granola Flapjacks

This is a combination of two of my most popular recipes. I’ve become quite well known for a decent flapjack and my Granola is made in many a Fit Camper’s kitchen. So why not combine the two?! So I did.

Raw Pad Thai Salad

I found this recipe in Free From Magazine, it’s a fresh and crunchy salad that has a tangy and flavoursome dressing. Chuck the dressing over just before serving. Add the crushed peanuts and sesame seeds and salt last of all.

Millionaire’s Shortbread

These quick and easy favourites really taste damn fine. The date filling is convincingly caramel like and when combined with the easy base and dark chocolate makes for a very decadent sweet without quite the worry that the traditional ones can give! Bear in mind though that this is a healthier version, not a good-for-you […]

Peanut Butter Cookies

These are the simplest biscuits ever! They’re not particularly healthy with their sugar content, but you can drop the sugar to 100g and they still form into a cookie and hold their shape. You can use Xylitol too if you prefer to keep blood sugar rushes down.  

Gingery Rhubarb Fool

Spring is a great time for rhubarb. When it’s a good year, it’s a really good year so making sure it’s used and not wasted it key (I hate waste!). If you aren’t going to use it immediately you can wash, trim and cut the stems into thumb size pieces. Dry them off and place on a […]

Waste Not Wednesday | Last legs lettuce soup

Lettuce soup may not be high on your list of must-have lunches, however it makes a really pleasant soup that you can add all manner of things too. When everyone is avoiding the lettuce in the fridge because it’s a bit soggy and dark green you can turn it into something quite cheap and tasty […]

Simple Gluten-Free Pancakes

Using something like Doves Farm gluten free flour is a pretty good way to nail a pancake that anyone in the family will eat. I use a method I saw Jamie Oliver use once.

Breakfast Oat Pancakes

A quick and tasty alternatives to the sugar-laden commercial breakfast cereals. Using oats instead of flour produces a nice pancake with some texture. Make them as small drop scone like pancakes rather than crepe sized as they are a little more delicate. You could add a tablespoon or two of ground almonds to the batter […]

Buckwheat Pancakes V2 (groats)

Using the groats rather than the flour takes a little more planning as the groats need to be soaked overnight first. However the texture is more like a crumpet and worth the wait!

Frozen Yoghurt ‘Bark’

This is a quick frozen desert suggestion. Ingredients 1 large pot of Greek yoghurt Honey to taste ( I added enough to cover the top of the pot) A small packet of cranberries and macadamias. Method Stir honey into yoghurt. Turn yoghurt onto grease-proof papered baking tray and spread out to about 1-2cm thick. Sprinkle […]

*** Waste Not Wednesday ***

This week as we dip into quite an autumnal feel, I thought I’d share some ideas on how to make the best use of apples, even if they are a little past their sell by date or you’ve snaffled some windfalls from someone. I love that apples can be quite transformed when cooked and used […]
