It's ALLLLL Good.


Introducing my new favourite cookbook "It's All Good" by Gwyneth Paltrow and Julia Turshen.

Recently after reading Wheat Belly by William Davis, I decided to try the 'Gluten Free' way of life. It's not a diet. The word 'diet' frightens me.

It's been a month of this Gluten Free business and do I feel any better? It's questionable. Although when I eat gluten now I feel ... not great. Not sure if it's my mind playing tricks on me but my body just doesn't want anything to do with gluten. Maybe it's better gluten and I part ways. For now.

Back to Gwyneth. I made her scrumptious Spicy Sweet Potato Soup + Coriander (page 88) and her Sweet potato + five spice muffins (page 41). Easy - fast - and tasty! I definitely stuck to my sweet potato theme to cut down on recipe ingredients but my oh my it was yummy. Who doesn't like sweet potatoes?

I was really impressed the gluten free, elimination diets and vegan options in this cookbook. It makes your eating restrictions hassle free and tasty. I can't wait to try some dessert options like the Banana ice cream with sweet and salty roasted almonds. Check out her website for more details on her wicked recipes! Goop!

  1. I've heard that the total cost of the ingredients in her recipes is quite high. Did you find that to be true? The sweet potato and five spice muffins sound delicious!!

  2. Actually I found the recipes I've tried to be fairly cheap, primarily because I had quite a few ingredients already in my fridge. I guess it really depends on which recipe you try and how you stock your kitchen :) Hope you're enjoying your summer!
