JW – as requested, here’s the method behind the madness! This recipe is a cross between a moussaka and a (lower-carb) lasagne. I’ve used courgettes, ground almonds, and various cheeses to make all of those glorious layers . . . sans the heavy pasta guilt! The addition of grated paneer…
This high-protein, low-carb dish comprises just a single chicken breast. That being said, it’s a very light meal for two people – more of an entrée – so you’d probably need side dishes if you want this as a main. I served this over a simple salad: mesclun leaves, tomato,…
This is my version of a brothy, noodly soup with flavours similar to the ramen I have eaten before. You can use any noodles you like – ramen, udon, vermicelli, egg noodles . . . I have even made this without noodles. (I know, this may defeat the purpose of…
Let’s set the scene. Outside was gloomy and grey; I was hungry and sore from my afternoon run. Oh – and I was bored. I rifled through the cupboards and discovered half a packet of semi-broken lasagne sheets. Well, here was a project to keep me busy. It’s creamy, it’s cheesy,…
Here’s another recipe request for SW. Hope you enjoy making this as much as I did! I’ll be honest here – this isn’t a quick-fix kind of meal. I think the marinating, reducing, simmering, and garnishing are well worth the hassle . . . but, then again, I’m the sort…
This is a bit of a strange one . . . But I think it works! It’s a bit of a cross between red curry, Laksa, and noodle soup. As always, adjust the spice to your preference. If you’re vegetarian, feel free to omit the fish sauce and/or replace…
Shout out to SW for the recipe request! These taco shells are made out of . . . purely cheese. Yes. But trust me – it has a weird self-frying effect and turns into gorgeous crispy perfection. There are a few different ways to make the shells. You could probably…
Thailand has some of the most incredible food in the world. I recently traveled there with my father and had many heavenly culinary experiences. One of the more notable delicacies was – and I know it sounds strange – ‘mushroom salad’. We were visiting Hua Hin and, in typical…
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…
