Cashew Meal Pastry
Having a great pastry recipe is such a game changer when it comes to no-grain eating. It is soooo nice to have things like sausage rolls and pies again! This recipe is completely inspired by Jo Whitton’s Almond Meal Pastry from Life Changing Foods cook book, which I have made so many times I don’t even need the recipe anymore! I discovered my love for baking with cashews when I started using them for muffins, the texture is so light and moist. So this is my take on pastry using delicious cashews, hope you like it!
Ingredients:
-
280g Cashews
-
40g Coconut flour
-
2 eggs
-
25g butter, chopped
-
Pinch of salt (optional)
Method:
-
Mill the cashews into a fine powder in Thermomix (5 seconds/speed 9) or in a high powered blender/food processor
-
Add coconut flour, eggs, butter and salt if using
-
Mix on a low speed in Thermomix (20 seconds/speed 4) or a blender/food processor until the ingredients are combined and forming a ball
-
Wrap the mixture in baking paper, you can split into portions depending what you are making (I split into 4 portions for sausage rolls) and place in the freezer for 30 minutes to chill
-
It can then be rolled out (or pressed with fingers as I do!) which is best done between two baking sheets so it doesn’t stick.
Sausage rolls:
Ingredients:
-
1 portion of Cashew Coconut Pastry divided into 4
-
500g mince
-
1 egg
-
100g of tomato paste
-
salt and pepper to taste
-
1 egg for glazing (optional)
Method:
-
Preheat oven to 180 degrees celsius
-
Mix all ingredients raw and add to rolled out dough as pictured below- my very imperfect method!!
-
Brush the prepared rolls with whisked egg. Bake at 180 degrees for 30-40 mins or until cooked through and starting to golden.

30 Day Kick-Start
Digestion & Gut Health
Â
Ok let's get straight to the point (because that is what this kick-start does!)
If you tick any of these boxes, the 30 Day Kick-Start Digestion & Gut Health is the right fit for you:Â
-
Bloated belly that looks 6 months pregnant by the end of the day (or even after a meal).
-
Constantly worrying about where the nearest bathroom is - because you never know if it’s going to be diarrhoea or constipation.
-
Feeling like you eat “so healthy” but still have low energy, brain fog, or nutrient deficiencies.
-
Burping, reflux, or indigestion that makes eating uncomfortable (or embarrassing).
-
Clothes not fitting properly because your stomach changes size throughout the day.
-
Missing out on social events or meals because you’re scared of the food reactions.
-
Trying elimination diets, supplements, or cleanses - and still not getting lasting relief.
-
Mood swings, irritability, or anxiety linked to gut issues (even when you’re trying to be your best self).
-
Feeling like your body is “failing you” despite doing all the “right” things.
-
Skin flares (eczema, acne, rashes) that make you self-conscious and frustrated.
-
Hormonal symptoms (PMS, perimenopause changes, thyroid imbalances) made worse by poor digestion.
-
Waking up tired, dragging through the day, then wired but exhausted at night.
-
The constant, nagging thought: “I must be missing something, but what?”
