A Kitchen Fairytale

December 3, 2016March 25, 2017 akitchenfairytale4 Comments

Hello dear, and welcome to A Kitchen Fairytale, where you can follow my journey back to health after being struck by inflammatory arthritis – very similar to Rheumatoid Arthritis – back in August 2014. Since October 2015 I have been on a plant-based diet which has taken away all the symptoms and rendered me free of…… Continue reading A Kitchen Fairytale

Sooo we have had some epic dining out experiences lately at the most accommodating restaurants! From my stories you may know that little turnip and I went to Brighton last week and had two super delicious meals: @thehappymaki and @purezza We had the sushi rolls for takeaway-supper and the pizzas we enjoyed for lunch in the restaurant. Now anything you thought you knew about pizza you should forget. This is the real thing. The sourdough pizzas has been “left to mature for a minimum of 48h. This enhances the flavour and digestibility..” You have the choice of a hemp flour base or gluten free base as well, I haven’t however checked whether they use oil in either. I realised when we entered the venue that they had been featured on the Food Unwrapped-program as their mozzarella is highly acclaimed - I had a small bite from little turnip’s pizza (which my husband ended up having as little J wasn’t feeling too adventurous but preferred his homemade almond butter toast) and it was pretty darn fine. However, lots of oil so not for me, and my pizza was amazing with its smoked beetroot carpaccio 🤤 I mentioned the no-oil thing but wonder if there may have been a bit of oil on it anyway - will check next time, because there will definitely be a next time!! The sushi rolls were epic - little J put away almost a whole one back home in the evening and he loved the triple avo design 🥑 For my husband I brought back a hoisin “duck” wrap which tasted just like the original - just better as it comes without any pain and suffering for the duckies 🦆After this I will always wonder why so many sushi restaurants can only come up with avocado and cucumber as a vegan option 😜... continued in comments:

Well here is a plant-based plate to die for 🤤 Wholegrain spaghettini with a chickpea and spinach curry, oven baked butternut squash with a rice and mushroom filling, couscous with raisins and an aubergine and tomato stew 🍅🍆🥬 I brought the pasta dish but the folks we went to see for lunch had made the couscous and the aubergine, and another guest phoned me beforehand to see if I was coming, then made an “Iida-friendly” dish which was the butternut - which little turnip put away like there was no tomorrow, alongside the couscous! it is always so lovely when someone else cooks for me as it gives me more inspiration and obviously it’s wonderful to get a little break from all the cooking every now and then 😄 If you guys are no oil, plant-based - what is your favourite dish to bring along to a dinner party?? Odeas please! Oooh this is not a bad idea for another cookbook topic💡 😉 . . #vegan #veganfood #plantbased #paddisonprogram #starchsolution #autoimmunedisease #healingwithfood #rheumatoidarthritis #vegantoddlerfood #vegantoddler #veganmama #breastfeeding #delicious #whatveganseat #love #sundaylunch #vegansundaylunch

Happy Father’s Day to all the extraordinary dads out there 💚 We celebrated with a pancake brunch with fresh berries, papaya, coconut yoghurt, almond butter, maple syrup (which no one ended up having) various compotes and jams and a raspberry compote that I made because our raspberries were SO sour! A good way of rescuing inedible berries is heating up in water and adding a dash of blackstrap molasses or another plant-based sweetener 🍓🍒🍑 Now off for lunch where I am bringing that chickpeas curry you may have seen in my stories - can’t wait to have it 🤤 How are you guys spoiling or remembering your lovely fathers today? ❤️ . . #vegan #veganpancakes #fathersday #fathersdaybrunch #starchsolution #healingwithfood #autoimmunedisease #rheumatoidarthritis #vegantoddlerfood #breastfeeding #veganmama #akitchenfairytale #healingwithfood #brunch #love #sunday #surrey
