ORANGE ALMOND CAKE

ORANGE ALMOND CAKE

I’m always looking for low-carb snacks and this cake it great for that mid afternoon treat or tea time. Since there is no flour in this, the key to getting it to rise are the egg whites. I use apple cider vinegar to stabilise them 

ROSEMARY PARMESAN HERB MUFFINS

ROSEMARY PARMESAN HERB MUFFINS

I’ve been testing low-carb recipes lately. If you’re someone who wants to do a low-carb diet but really misses having something like bread with your meals, then these muffins are for you. What I love most about them is how many things you can do 

SUNDRIED TOMATOES & ASIAGO MUFFINS

SUNDRIED TOMATOES & ASIAGO MUFFINS

Happy New Year! With the start of a new year, we tend to start something new, a new workout plan, a new diet, a new set of something or other. For me, it’s low-carb recipes. For the next 3 months, I will be featuring recipes 

PIZZA PIE

PIZZA PIE

I think if you ask anyone living a low carb lifestyle what food they miss the most, I bet they will say pizza. This pizza pie is a low carb version of a deep dish pizza. The crust is crunchy and you can fill it

This cafe I used to go to for lunch would make a salad with dried fruit and candied walnuts. They were sweet and spicy, they used curry powder for the spice and sugar. I wanted to try the sweet and spicy mix but without using 

BREADED CHICKEN

BREADED CHICKEN

I love breaded chicken. Whether it’s a burger, strips, nuggets, I love them all. So when I decided to try making a low carb breadcrumb I was skeptical. Could I could achieve that desirable crunch or get that tasty coating that keeps the chicken moist? 

LEMON SEMIFREDDO

LEMON SEMIFREDDO

My love of ice cream has now found a low carb version, and a new obsession. When I made this semifreddo, meaning semi-frozen it tasted great. It was sweet, like I had used sugar, tart from the lemons, and creamy. I’ve always said if I
