welcome

Hello! I’m Lucy Robinson, author of The Grain-Free Vegetarian. I’ve been cooking and eating vegetable-led, grain-free meals for over 40 years now. I enjoy using seasonal, organic produce from local growers, as well growing some things myself.

After being diagnosed with intolerances to grains, meat and to petrochemicals used in intensive farming, I had to drastically change my way of eating. At the time, trying to avoid these things seemed radical and unusual, but it made an incredible difference to my health and well-being. And rather than feeling deprived, I discovered a whole new world of delicious, wholesome food.

Decades later, people everywhere are finding their way to eating in a similar way: reducing their intake of meat and animal-based produce, cutting down on carbohydrates, and seeking out foods that are free from additives, pesticides and over-processing. The latest research is telling us that health is dependent on feeding our gut microbiome a widely-varied diet – very much in tune with how I eat.

Through my book and this website, I hope to share my recipes and ideas about the way we cook, eat, produce and think about food.
