She's Back!

After having left this recipe blog sitting stagnant for several years I'm committing to posting again.

Why?  I'm becoming a thermomix consultant!

In a quest to manage issues with hypoglycaemia and the sluggish rotten feelings associated with eating gluten and dairy I will be trying to make delicious gluten free + dairy free + low GI (and sometimes, completely GRAIN free) foods. 

Most will be made with my trusty thermomix - For those trying to make these without a thermomix I apologise.  Maybe it's time to book your own thermomix demo!

:D
