I’m really proud of this Chocolate Mousse Cake because it’s the first dessert I’ve made that wasn’t a cheesecake or using Fathead, as well as my first real baking attempt using almond meal in place of flour! I’ve been so intimidated about making proper type cakes and subbing almond meal or coconut flour because I…

Zucchini Fettucine with Lamb, Spinach and Feta Sauce
A pretty simple throw together meal that is like Bolognese with a bit of a twist using lamb and feta. This recipe uses my Homemade Passata recipe but if you use store bought passata you will need to add some more flavours like garlic, onion, basil etc. so you don’t get a bland tasting dish….
Marble Jelly Cheesecake
I toyed with the notion of making this Marble Jelly Cheesecake because generally I try to stay away from artificial sweeteners and while sugar free jelly is an incredibly low carb sweet treat, it happens to have a ton of those artificial sweeteners! In the end though, I decided to test it out as I…
Sugar Free Gummy Bears and Snakes
These Sugar Free Gummy Bears and Snakes were something I’d been wanting to try for ages. I’m not a huge fan of gummies myself but my brother is in love with them and I wanted to be able to make some that I could give him WITHOUT the massive amounts of sugars, artificial sweeteners, artificial…
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…
Tandoori Seasoning
Tandoori seasoning that can be used guilt free without having to worry about added nasties. Unfortunately it seems spice blends often have sugar, starches or seed oils added and often they will have all three! But you can make your own spice blends to use without having to worry about whether anything extra has been…
Low Carb Fish Pie
This Low Carb Fish Pie is adapted from Jamie Oliver’s Fantastic Fish Pie recipe and has been totally converted to a low carb compliant version! A simple yet extremely tasty pie, this Low Carb Fish Pie was brilliant and it was actually a bit difficult not to have some more from the pie dish. I…
Baked Custard
This Baked Custard comes from my Portuguese Custard Tart recipe and uses the custard filling. I had some leftover when I made the tarts so thought since the custard is the best part anyway, lets try making just that! These turned out brilliantly and the carbs were quite a bit lower than the Portuguese Custard…
