My daughter went to a cooking & baking birthday party a few weeks ago at a play centre and whilst it was an amazing idea, unfortunately they weren’t prepared to cater for kids with allergies. So I brought her own … Continue reading Recipe: Dairy Free Choc Chip Cookies
This little recipe I very quickly whipped up today turned out so delicious (if I dare say so myself, haha) that I HAD to share! If you’re a busy mum like me, juggling work and family life, these super quick … Continue reading Super Quick and Easy Pork Belly with Greens Stirfry
Growing up, my parents have always cooked okra (aka ladies finger) so I have grown very familiar with this vegetable and various ways of cooking it. However, I do realise that a lot of people have never ever cooked with okra nor have they tasted them. If you have never cooked with okra before, perhaps this simple dish will encourage you to try something new. Okra is really not that scary… it is very commonly used in Asian dishes and has a very unique texture. It is a little… slimy. Please do not let that put you off!!

This is one of my favorite cakes to make for when we need a treat around the house that is suitable for my youngest daughter Silver, who is allergic to dairy, eggs, peanuts and cashews.

Ingredients:2 cups self raising flour1 cup sugar2 … Continue reading Dairy Free Lemon and Coconut Cake
My daughter is allergic to dairy, eggs, peanuts and cashews. So naturally, I have learnt to substitute a few things around the house to suit her. For example, Nutella for Sweet Williams Dairy Free Chocolate Spread. Cow’s milk for soy milk. Butter for Nuttelex dairy free spread. Eggs for silken soy tofu (for the soft texture in meals). We have adjusted really well, and our meals at home have been allergy-free 80% of the time. The other 20% include chocolate snacks (just stay away from her while eating it), ice cream (she has her own dairy free soy ice cream), … Continue reading Dairy Free Banana Pancake Fritters / Dairy Free Egg Free Banana Cake
