I’m a passionate wee firefly behind an apron. Gifting friends and family with hot bread, jars of deadly dips, and all sorts of home-made yummies brings such sparkle to their eyes and makes my wee soul sing. Cooking is my thing.
Having developed an immune disorder 5 years ago, I began a sort of ‘nutritional pilgrimage’.
The first 10 months of my illness saw 12 anti-biotics, 1 course of steroids, 2 vaccinations, and 1 three-month course of anti-fungal colon treatment. The ceaseless drugs, combined with poor immunity, paved way for numerous food intolerances. Exhausted, dispirited, and broken in every sense, I took my health into my own hands and consumed every book I could on healing through nutrition. I felt a flood of relief as soon as I avoided foods that troubled my body and compromised my immunity.
There was most certainly a direct relationship between my energy levels and what I ate. I was adamant to delve deeper and discover what made my body function sub optimally (wheat, sugar, yeast and dairy) and what made me feel fantabulous (these recipes).
Two years on, I was back to bouncy bionic self much to the amazement of the medical community.
