After school ended, I was lucky enough to travel to one of my favourite countries: Singapore. With the hot and humid climate, I was in my element. (Left: fried sesame ball with peanut filling!) The main reason of the trip was to take a Singaporean cooking course, but I also…
I bought my first tub of protein powder the other day. Too much protein can be a bad thing on a ketogenic diet, but I decided that investing in a bit of good-quality powder would be great for bulking up some low-carb recipes. Treats just don’t have the right texture…
I want to grab the person who first created flaxmeal bread and kiss them on both cheeks. This stuff is nutty, it’s moist, it’s soft and springy – all without the crumbly weirdness that so often accompanies low-carb baked goods! The flaxseeds are super-packed with fibre and omega-3 fatty acids,…
I got the basic recipe for the base from Pinterest – http://terrastips.blogspot.co.nz/ – and was so thrilled with the results. Gooey, cheesy, stretchy pizza crust without all the carbs! Top however you like – I used sliced chorizo salami and olives. And extra cheese. Because, well, why not? This recipe can…
I never used to see any merit in crepes – but I’ve changed my mind. Soft, crisp-edged, and barely sweet, they make a delicious breakfast or dessert. I love the cool sour cream and sweet berry topping, but you can replace this with yoghurt and some other fruit if you…
The other day there was an awards evening at my school. I wasn’t prepared for the onslaught of delicious dessert – a gorgeous looking tiramisu! While I sadly pretended not to look at the bowls of pudding around me, I plotted a version of my own. This tiramisu is the…
So, my custard obsession is back. Officially. I tried to hold off the custard recipes for a while – but I simply couldn’t! Thus, I introduce to you the oddest thing to ever inhabit a patty case. A chewy coconut macaroon crust, topped with vanilla-dreamy and lemon-scented custard. Strangely delicious!…
Excessive? Yes. Delicious? Oh, yes! Okay, so the chocolate chips inside are optional. You can simply cover the cookies entirely in chocolate, as pictured below. But why would you? A negligible amount of fructose from the 90% chocolate isn’t on the top of my worry list. Besides, the small sprinkling…
Sweet, dreamy, and popping with crunch, this cheesecake pudding is the stuff of dreams. Very, very nice dreams. This is filled with satisfying fats from cream, cream cheese, and sour cream. I suppose that’s a lot of cream. But, when something tastes this good, who cares anyway? At first, I…
I may be a secret-keeper for my friends, but not for brownies. Not that I don’t love them dearly – I do! I simply hold you in higher regard. So what’s the secret behind this irresistible texture, the moistness and healthiness? Aha, but not yet. Let me first entice you…
