We love making our own homemade burgers, we’ve made experiments galore! Here’s one we particularly enjoyed for you to have a go and explore!
Ingredients:
Add the spinach, onion, garlic, pepper and some water to blend…
Pulse for a few seconds, this is the kind of mixture your aiming for in the end…
Steam your potatoes and mash until fluffy – oh this part is such fun!
Then add all the herbs and seasonings each and every one!
Pour in now, the spinach, pepper, onion and garlic mixture too;
And stir and mash again until the mix is completely green right through! 
Now add the flour which will make the mixture thicker,
Then create your burgers, perhaps using a press like this will be much quicker!
Drizzle the tops with olive oil which will give them that extra crunch…
And bake for 30 minutes one side and 30 minutes on the other and they’ll be soon be ready for your dinner or lunch! 👌
Ladies and Gentlemen these Quinoa Balls are a delicious bite to eat! Round and scrumptious and so beautifully neat!

…Add and mix with salt, pepper and basil in their fluffy quinoa bed.
Use your hands to roll a handful of mixture into a neat and round ball…
…And whilst preparing do your very best not to eat them all! 😊😉

A meal fit for any Quinoa King or Queen! 👑
Ingredients
Peel, chop and steam your potatoes and carrots until soft. Ours usually take 30 minutes
Place your steamed vegetables in a bowl with mint, basil, sliced garlic cloves and salt and pepper.
Finely dice your red onion…
Mash together and stir in the onion. Do not use a blender the potatoes will become all gluey! 
Then fill an ice cream scoop with the mixture .
And place the balls on a baking sheet or oven tray.
We added a little olive oil for extra crispness however this is optional. You could omit the added oil if using a non-stick tray.
If you’re placing the balls in a stone pan however it is recommended to use a little oil so the balls do not stick to the bottom of the pan.
Bake for 20-30 minutes depending on how crispy you like them!
These were in the oven for 30 minutes at 200 degrees. Just until they browned nicely at the edges.
Serve with salad and enjoy!

We used to assume that Gnocchi was always made with potatoes and since converting to a gluten free diet we were determined to find a way to make it without wheat.
The great thing about making meals homemade is you actually have to learn about what you’re eating! Before we could make gnocchi however we had to learn exactly what it is!
According to Wikipedia Gnocchi are: “various thick, soft dough dumplings that may be made from semolina,[1] ordinary wheat flour,[2]egg,[3] cheese,[4] potato,[5]breadcrumbs,[6] or similar ingredients”
Wow, learn something new everyday! We had no idea you could even make gnocchi without potatoes. And so ladies and gentlemen we present to you a recipe for coconut flour gnocchi:
Ingredients:
Makes 15 gnocchi balls.
Add all dry ingredients to a mixing bowl….
Add flax eggs and mix well until consistency feels like a sticky dough.
A sticky, well combined PINK dough!
Then roll mixture into approximately 1/2 inch balls and leave to chill in the fridge for at least an hour ( or more) We left them for 2 hours.
Then heat a pan until it begins to boil. When the water is boiling add the little balls of gnocchi in. When they rise to the top (it’ll take about 2 minutes) catch them with a slotted spoon and set aside.
Serve with salad…
And/or add your favourite sauce. We added a homemade blend of tomato and basil 👌🍅
Voila! A delicious nutritious lunch 😋
Happy St George’s Day! We love themed days! Themed days in our kitchen means our minds zoom into sixth gear into creative overdrive to try and find food to theme to the theme!
Usually our first stop is the cookie cutter drawer where we are usually bound to have something, though to my dismay this morning we couldn’t find any dragons or roses – (now noted on the ever-growing, never-ending ‘to buy’ list. Hands up who has one of those? 😆)
Second stop, Google. Our when-in-despair-Google-is-there motto resulted in many England flag cupcakes however an alarming shortage in our household of all ingredients sweet and sticky wouldn’t make for an appetising recipe.
And… So on to stop three: The Fridge.
Perfect. Third time lucky – 30 second eye scan and we knew just what to do! a St George’s Day Pizza coming to you!
First the base made with coconut flour, tapioca flour, ground linseed/flaxseed, a drizzle of olive oil, warm water and a pinch of salt. Mixed into a fluffy dough, kneaded and rolled into the pan and baked for 18-20 minutes.
And then we stirred together some of our Perfect Pizza Sauce 🍎👌 whilst we were waiting for the base to crisp at the edges.
For the toppings We sliced some courgette with our Oxo Good Grips Mandoline and sliced some red pepper strips and created: drum roll please…..
Little red England inspired flags! These were placed on top of some chopped curly kale for our base topping to represent the scenic English meadows and Summer country picnics on the grass.
Now we are sure from our history learning we rememembed a Prince Orange, and sure enough we confirmed after a short research that William III, King of England was also sovereign Prince of Orange – a loose connection, we know! However enough to excuse some slices of orange on our pizza!
A sprinkle of salt and pepper and into the oven it went until crispy!!
Et Voila! 20 minutes later – A delicious healthy and plantbased gluten free and organic pizza themed for St George’s Day lunch!

We’ve tried GRILLiant Grapefruit and it was such a brill’ grill!
So this afternoon we experimented with our next citrus thrill!
Simply Slice organic oranges and place under the grill on a tray of foil
You don’t need any additions, not even oil.
For 10 minutes grill on medium heat,
…and you’ll soon have delicious warming juicy oranges to eat.
Make sure they’re organic and you can even eat the peel.
They’ll look delicious on salad for a colourful gourmet feel.
(NB. The grilled oranges in the above photos are sitting on a cylinder of steamed buckwheat and leeks and surrounded by raw yellow carrot)
