I want the recipes on this blog to be simple and easy to follow no fuss and low maintenance. Eating gluten free (GF) and dairy free (DF) needn't be complicated or stressful, nor should it be expensive and time consuming and so difficult to achieve that we give up at the first hurdle. Many people when they go GF and DF simply substitute things like bread for GF bread and dairy for soy products. However, if we were to look at these products from a purely energetic perspective they do carry the same energy as bread and dairy to some degree and even though they do not produce obvious physical symptoms they do have the potential to alter us energetically. Thus the recipes I post will be about looking at a different way to eat, it is not about cereals or toast for breakfast, sandwiches for lunch and pasta for dinner for example, it is about a way of eating that supports and nourishes the body to be in it's essence based on feeling what the body needs not what we have been told is convention.

Have you considered that it might be fun and really nourishing to have soup or stir-fry for breakfast, to eat lunch when you body tells you to not when the clock does and to eat more connected to your food and yourself?

You will find that many of the recipes have no sugar or yeast as these too affect the body energetically and that foods like potatoes, rice, tofu, fruit, legumes and pulses are used sparingly, if at all, as they are quite sugary and are often eaten as fillers or as comfort foods. However these recipes are not set in stone they are a guide as to what is possible, it is upto you to 'feel' what your body needs and then support it by adapting the recipes accordingly.

But don't panic....just because these recipes omit certain ingredients doesn't mean they will be boring, bland and tasteless and that you will be left nibbling on a lettuce leaf wondering what to eat. Instead you will find many tasty, delicious meals and snacks that will not only have your taste buds dancing for joy but your body too.
