Mushroom and Tahini Soup
This week I’ve cooked a fair bit, and have failed to write about it so apologies. Working from home should, in theory, give me more writing time but in fact it does the opposite, because I spend all day writing for work and then the almost scrivener brain gives up at the end of the…
Chocolate Tahini Porridge
I like porridge, the traditional oat based one, but it doesn’t seem to like me much. It fills me up at the time of eating but then 20 minutes later and I am hungry all over again. Plus there’s the whole oats = carbs thing. Now before anyone yells at me, remember, I am not…
Egg and Lemon Soup
Avgolémono (avgo = egg – lemono = lemon) is called Greek penicillin for a reason. It’s what your mother and grandmother give you when it’s chilly, or when you have a cold; it is soothing and kind to the throat. The tang of the lemon cuts through dulled senses, and makes you taste again. It’s…
Pumpkin, Apple and Cabbage Stew
I’m not fond of the word ‘stew’. It seems to denote something grey and overcooked when often it is neither of those things. Stews can contain layers of flavour and even though the colour may not be as full of sparkle as, say, a vibrant salad with pops of red and bright green, they can…
Ricette Perfette’s Vegetable Loaf
Note: The featured banner image is AI generated. This inspired my own version, which doesn’t use wheat flour. Essentially this is a lot of cooked and very well seasoned vegetables mixed into an egg and chickpea flour based batter then baked until firm. You could change up the veg, add a ton more spice -…
Low Carb Every Day Loaf
I make this or a variation of it every week. I tend to cook it in a 1lb loaf tin, because I have an old Hovis one and it amuses me but I have doubled it and baked it in a 2lb tin. I like this recipe because it’s quick to mix up. Tip: grease…
Low Carb Corn Bread
Not cornbread, that’s a different animal and made of cornmeal which is too high carb for me. No, this is bread made with corn in it, but it is very tasty! I did add some sweetcorn extract, because I had it, but this is not necessary. 4 fresh baby corn cobs (4g carbs) 250ml hot…
Low Carb Koupepia/Dolmades
I had minced pork. I had mint. I had cinnamon. I had lemons and of course I had olive oil. I had fresh vine leaves a friend gave me. There was only one thing to do, really! I didn’t want to use rice, and up the carb count. I also didn’t want to use brown…
Low Carb Bread Rolls
I am persevering in my low carb cooking. Because of the constant NHS nagging since I passed puberty and first went to a GP appointment, I joined their Second Nature program to get some peace, and appear as a Good Fatty on their books, instead of just being a Good Fatty by myself with no…
Fagi or Moutzentra
Yesterday I made a Cypriot (not just Cypriot, but it’s where I know it from) dish called Fagi or Fadgi. Lentils and rice, basically, with a shed load of fried onions and lemon. (Turns out I knew it under a different name, fakes moutzentra, which is why I was confused when I heard an American…
