My intention with this recipe was to recreate those bread twists you can get from bakeries filled with different flavourings like herb and garlic or spinach and feta. We used to buy them often and they’re pretty popular. But there was always too much bread for my liking without nearly enough flavour and filling. With…

Asian Chicken Patties
These are lovely little chicken patties that are very simple to make. They can be served as snacks or with a side for a main meal. I love eating these just on their own with the shallots. They go really well with eggs too! They use Asian style flavours with some stevia glycerite to sub…
Kara-age
Kara-age is basically Japanese schnitzel or fried chicken and it is a regular item on the menu at most Japanese restaurants and sushi places. It has an addictive flavour and I prefer it served with just simple salad. Some Homemade Mayo on the side as a dipper would also work really well! Usually Kara-age is…
Thai Red Curry Baked Chicken
I’ve made so many Thai red and green curries, but wanted to do something a little bit different. So I came up with this Thai Red Curry Baked Chicken. The chicken is marinated in coconut cream and Thai red curry paste and then baked in the oven with the marinade and fresh slices of lime!…
Chicken and Cauliflower Rice Omelettes
These are based off traditional rice omelettes which are very popular especially with kids. Except of course, rice is definitely not something we want to eat so instead these are made with cauliflower rice! In my opinion the flavour is even more delicious than with regular rice. These are also incredibly filling, I could barely…
Homemade Passata
I developed this homemade passata for my son who is on the spectrum and an incredibly fussy eater. Visual changes in food are much more of a problem for him than changes in taste. He used to only eat plain jarred spaghetti sauce and I started by introducing one flavour at a time for that,…
Chicken Caesar Salad
Chicken Caesar Salad is such an ultimate low carb meal. I usually reserve it as a treat for when I go out because there are so many restaurants and cafes that have it on their menu. Usually all you have to ask for is no croutons and you’ve got a great low carb meal! It…
Steak with Creamy Caper Sauce
Really simple dish that can be whipped up quickly and easily, but is also full of flavour. The sauce has a very strong flavour straight out of the pan, but tastes fantastic when drizzled over the steak and broccolini. If you like you can sub regular broccoli instead of the broccolini. I like my steak…
Japanese Burgers
Burgers are really popular in Japan and served in all different ways. These are super simple, very low carb and taste delicious. Radish is commonly used in Japanese cooking and these burgers taste fantastic with it. The radish doesn’t have the sharp bite you would expect. For this you use dried shiitake mushrooms that have…
Almond Crust Satay Chicken
I finally took the plunge and ventured away from peanut butter! That’s right, after over a year on low carb I’ve only had peanuts 2 or 3 times. I love peanuts but as a legume and technically not a nut, they can be inflammatory and so should be avoided. But there are so many low…
