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 …

Calcutta Cabbage Tangles
This is not my recipe, but one borrowed from Nisha Katona, founder and powerhouse behind the Mowgli chain of Indian restaurants. I say chain, but they are the furthest from the bland, corporate chain than anything could be. There’s a beating heart in each one, and each one, like siblings, retains the looks, but the …
Ajvar
The things I do for my colleagues. Ed mentioned that when he’d been on holiday in Croatia, he’d had this gorgeous dip made of aubergines and red peppers, and was bemoaning the fact that he hadn’t been able to find it since. I was pretty sure I’d be able to find a recipe, and I …
To Fu or not To Fu…
(Sorry, had to be done.) For some reason, I had decided that I was going to make my own tofu. No I have no idea why, but I just fancied having a go, so I did. This is what happens when I am left on my own at home for any length of time with …
Sprouts Are Not Just For Christmas Salad
I love sprouts. There. I said it. It’s true though, I really do! I used to hate them as a child, and would try to hide them under leftover mash, but then as I got older, and my tastebuds changed, I got to liking them, and then to loving them. Poor, maligned creatures they are, …
Low Carb ‘Cornbread’
I do hope that I don’t harp on about low carb stuff to people too much, it just happens to be the way I need to eat if I want to feel healthy, and for my body to stop hurting. Weight loss is a side effect. It’s a useful one, for sure, but that’s all …
