Are you a fan of paleo or gluten-free recipes? These currently very trendy diets are ever present in my own kitchen, partly due to my coeliac disease but also my desire to experiment. Here, I've baked some sublime paleo buns and topped them with beef patties. Have a taste!<\/p>\n

What is the paleo diet? What does it include, what does it exclude? The paleo diet is based on what our ancestors, the hunters and gatherers of the stone age, were thought to have eaten, namely whatever they could hunt or pick: meat, fish, seafood, vegetables, fruit and nuts. Of course there was no sugar, no preservatives, no artificial flavours or additives, so all these things are excluded on a paleo eating plan,\u00a0as well as grains, making it the ideal diet for coeliacs.<\/p>\n
Of course opinions on this diet vary and many advantages and disadvantages are being discussed. But the paleo diet's rejection of grains and legumes has proven useful in the battle against auto-immune and metabolic diseases like multiple sclerosis and diabetes.\u00a0Of course in paleolithic times, the goal wasn't a healthy diet but rather pure survival. Plus, grains aren't unhealthy per se - they\u00a0started becoming an important and nutritious staple with the advent of agriculture.<\/p>\n
The paleo community consists of a wide variety of approaches:\u00a0many followers do not strictly obey the very limited (and often uncooked) paleolithic meal range, but instead creatively invent recipes inspired by the basic principles of the diet.<\/p>\n
