Low Salicylate Egg Scramble

To quote the novelist Paulo Coelho, “It's the simple things in life that are the most extraordinary.” And what could be more simple yet satisfying for breakfast than a plate of scrambled eggs fresh from the pan? Throw in some greens, a generous helping of cheese and a...

Low Salicylate Mini Quiches

I just adore mini versions of things. Could it be to do with the fact that I just scrape in at 5 feet tall? Perhaps. Most likely. Aside from this apparent bias, mini quiches in particular, often make me think of sweet celebrations, served as appetisers at hens dos or...
