Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free Cannellini Bean, Beetroot & Carrot Soup
This soup came about because of a pile of root veggies sitting in my veggie box. When I have beetroot, I usually bake it and make a salad with avocado, nuts, seeds, that sort of thing. Or steam it and serve it as a veggie. But I wanted to do something different, and this was […]
Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free Sushi from Renée Elliott’s Me, You & the Kids, Too
Zoë loves nori which is great because it’s amazingly good for you.

Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free Fennel, Beetroot & Potato Gratin
The combination of the mildly sweet, aniseed flavour of the fennel, the earthy sweet beetroot and the beautifully bland potatoes in this recipe is wonderful. The creamy sauce with cheese flavour offsets all the flavours and adds a soft richness to the dish. Great for a simple midweek supper, with salad and/or a crunchy…
Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free Beetroot, Carrot & Ginger Detox Juice
I’ve started a detox this weekend. I haven’t done one since before I got pregnant with Zoë and I fell like a really need to do one. Over the summer I ate lots of sugary foods and I’m really noticing the effect – I’ve put on weight and I’m feeling really tired, especially after eating,…
