It’s funny how something so creamy can be dairy-free – but don’t laugh. I’m serious here. A dangerously delicious, coconut-scented winter warmer can be between your mitts in under five minutes. Any liquid coconut cream should work fine, providing you adequately fill your blender. I’ve stipulated half a cup of…
These aren’t enchiladas in the sense of filling-wrapped tortillas. They’re not even in the proper shape of enchiladas. Instead, think pimped stuffed capsicums. You have your spicy Mexican chicken filling. You have your sweet, roasted capsicum shells. You have your uber-creamy topping of sour cream, cheese, and cream cheese! I…
Trying out a low-carb diet but missing all the fun of pasta? Voila. Cauliflower has a texture similar to carbs like rice and pasta, but is loaded with fibre and Vitamin C. Mushrooms give extra bulk to the bake and make it that much more substantial. To literally top it…
My family recently had a guest from Thailand to stay, Pueng, who was kind enough to teach me a few of her local dishes. Of course, this is nothing close to authentic – rather, it’s Thai-inspired. Nevertheless, it’s a nice way to experience Asian food if you’re keto or just…
This dish sounds simple – and that’s because it is. Nevertheless, simplicity is often best! You may think that means blandness, but I assure you, this is not the case. What’s the secret, then? Fish sauce! Now before you click your mouse flies straight to the corner of your screen,…
Don’t be fooled by the name. There’s no guacamole lurking in these little bowls of pudding – only slightly “Mexican” spiced, chocolatey heaven. You’d never be able to tell these cheesecakes were low in carbs but for the lack of headache-inducing sweetness. Of course, if you have a massive sweet…
Who doesn’t love granola? Filled with nuts and other seemingly healthy ingredients, it’s often a shock to realise how much sugar is lurking in every crunchy cluster. My mission was to make an easy granola with plenty of nutritious fats and protein. Salted chocolate (and salted pecan, for that…
Spinach and feta. It doesn’t exactly elicit exuberant expressions in children (we all know of their hatred for leaves), and I’m fairly sure it’s commonly regarded – even by adults – as a match for the fashionably healthy. However, the way I see it, this salty cheese with bittersweet greens is…
I love stuffing vegetables with mince. Capsicums are perhaps my favourite, but courgettes, kumara, and these lovely butternuts are all delicious! The size of your squash, as well as the amount of seeds in it (and thus the thickness of flesh), will determine how much cooking it requires. Ideally, you’ll…
This salad is warm, a welcome change as the weather starts becoming drab down here in New Zealand. Beetroot, carrot, and butternut provide a good dose of beta carotene – a powerful antioxidant – while prawns and almonds boost the protein. Slosh over that extra virgin olive oil to add…
