lard knows

If you are lucky enough to live near a proper butcher then ask them if they can get you some leaf lard. This is the fat around a pigs kidneys and when rendered down, it makes the finest lard. Pure white, odourless and packed with some great nutrients. One teaspoon of this stuff is loaded with…

cassava flour pittas and flatbreads

Bread, bread, bread. I just love it. If I’m ever to fall off the AIP diet it usually has something to do with it’s hot, crusty and buttery goodness! So when you find an alternative that subs that nawtiness then excitement prevails and you just gotta make it. Ottos cassava flour is a game changer….

cauliflower bites

These are little tasty low carb nuggets that are an ease to make and an ease to scoff down before you’ve had a chance to make a tasty dip to go alongside! I got the original recipe from unbound wellness but I’ve changed the recipe slightly as her’s were too coconutty for me and they…

pies pies pies

I love them. I love pastry. I love(d) pastry. So give me an AIP pastry recipe and I will give it a go. My go to has been these cassava and lard delights but a new kid is in town and I am FEELING them.  This version is thanks to Nom Nom Paleo and they are so easy…

tigernut pancakes

These were my first experimentation with tigernut flour. Turned out to be a great weekend breakfast treat. I got the basic recipe from the roasted root website.  I never have any kind of milk in the house but I do make my own coconut concentrate so tend to heat that in water if I need to…

sweet potato and ham egg muffins

Im in love with these. Such a fast and easy weekday breakfast solution. Make a batch on Sunday and grab and go out the fridge for the next few days (if they hang around that long!). Hopefully you can eat eggs. If not, you’re screwed. I took the recipe from the godmother of AIP, Sarah…

sweet potato cookies

These little beauties were made up after reading every other week sweet potato cookie recipe out there and me not being able to make my mind up on what one to make. The main idea for them eventually came from healingfamilyeats but I didn’t have palm shortening so substituted red palm oil instead (not quite as much)…

sausage stuffed mushrooms

These are a simple little number that doesnt take long at all to prepare or cook. The original recipe came from The Best of the Auto Immune Protocol 2015 e-recipe book available from here on the paleo mom website. I pimped up the sausage meat by using a recipe for smoky maple sausage meat from The Curious Coconut website. These…

you must be… crackers

Crunchy, crunchy, crunch. That’s hard to do on AIP. So these crackers made from green plantains will rock your world. I just hope you can get the plantains – they are something easy to buy in London but I know that may not be the case if you’re out in the sticks!  I have made…
