This recipe is surprisingly simple. Cookies can be difficult to make low-carb because the lack of sugar means it’s near impossible to get that chewy, caramelised texture. Here, we go for a different texture. Chewiness comes from shredded coconut bound by whipped egg whites. I just throw the whites into…
I’ve probably said it before, but isn’t there something spectacularly dreamy about pistachios? Picture it: a queen or king, reclining on a silk-lined throne, popping each jade morsel into their mouth while date-palm fronds fan them from either side . . . Putting aside my life goals, let’s get down…
I’ve finally made it. A homemade version of my favourite Asian drink! Before you start your happy dance (because, yes, I admit that is exactly what I did), check your local Asian grocery stores. In New Zealand I couldn’t find bubble-tea-worthy tapioca pearls. You want the specific ones for making this drink…
My first post from England. I feel a little guilty for having been so absent these last few months, but I’ve been playing around with this recipe for a while and finally found a version I want to share. Coconut butter is virtually the same as creamed coconut – the…
Yes, I’ll admit it. This isn’t real pappardelle. I’m not sure what gave it away – certainly not the lurid green edges – but, in any case, I highly recommend this twist on your zucchini noodles. The flatness also provides a somewhat silky texture compared to regular zoodles. (I feel…
Thank you once again to my lovely sister, Tess, for your fabulous photography. I know you love pistachios almost as much as you love our late-night Netflix sprees (which featured plenty of ice cream cheesecake this time, I must say). Can we all agree there’s something undeniably alluring about pistachios?…
I passed Starbucks the other day and was inspired by their gorgeous frappés. I can never, quite get over their exorbitant prices, however, nor the amount of sugar they load inside. Do I even want to know how much? Not really. Now I have my own version, I can be…
Thanks, Tess, for the fabulous photos. Best sister (imho). Now, you’re likely wondering what on earth I’ve done with the burger bun. My answer: oopsie bread! That probably didn”t answer anything for you, because low-carb substitutions are obscure, varied, and sometimes just downright weird. I mean, who comes up with…
You must think I’m mad. The thought of low-carb ‘corn’ chips may seem absurd, but I can assure you these are every bit as crispy and satisfying as the real thing. Of course, because you’re basically eating pure cheese here, I really do recommend balancing everything with a salad. Avocado,…
This recipe I dedicate to my wonderful sister Tess, who is possibly more haloumi-obsessed than I am. I knew we were related for a reason. Some people like grilled cheese, and I am one of those people. However, sometimes we want more – more flavours, more textures, and more nutrients!…
