Regular readers will know that I have been tweaking my diet slightly, to help with ongoing IBS symptoms.

BBC Good Food Festival Nat cooking

It’s something I’ve lived with for years, and controlling my diet helps to relieve some of the symptoms that I experience.

As part of my diet change, I decided to commit to a 4 week challenge, and to use a2 Milk™ instead of my ‘normal’ milk.

It has been a total revelation!

My symptoms have most definitely improved through sticking to this new diet, and as I use alternative ingredients on a daily basis to keep Callum safe, this was no different.

In fact, it’s been really easy to adapt to.

At the end of my 4 week challenge, I got to put my experience into practice, when I did a day of live cooking demos for a2 Milk™ at the BBC Good Food Festival at Hampton Court!

I was there from 8am, prepping for the day ahead, and ensuring there was an abundance of food all day. In fact, we cooked up a storm until well after 5pm, and our stand was one of the busiest for most of the day!

We had 3 recipes for people to try:

Dauphinoise potatoes

Dauphinoise potatoes

Vegetable lasagne

Delicious gluten-free vegetable lasagne

Chocolate fudgy brownies

Choc fudge brownie

And they were all a huge hit, particularly the brownies! Who doesn’t like a decadent chocolate treat eh!

All 3 recipes are now live on the blog for you all to try!

They are all simple, quick, and gluten free as a minimum!
