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,…
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…
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…
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!…
Cauliflower rice doesn’t always provide quite the fulsome bite of the real thing. However, I find that in this form – loaded with stir-fried flavour and tossed with plenty of fat and protein – you can finish your plate and feel satisfied. If you’re low-carbing, what more can you ask for?…
The title says it all, don’t you think? All I can add is this: top each portion with a fried (or poached) egg. It really amps the flavour and protein, especially if you’re full-time keto! This recipe can be gluten-free, grain-free, and egg-free if you must. Serves 3 Preparation time:…
