While I enjoy eating pastured, organic animal products (very much), I’m very conscious that as a whole the Australian population eats much more than we really need, nutritionally, contributing to a global problem of meat production that is not sustainable in the long term. For this reason, I make a conscious effort to take 1-2 days a week where I eat … Read More

Do you love fresh or toasted wraps for lunch? Well I do! But I am sensitive to gluten and I find that most of the gluten-free versions in the stores tend to be really thin and flaky and don’t hold the filling together well at all.
