Indian Samosa Pinwheels
On September 4, 2021 by ElizINDIAN SAMOSA PINWHEELS I just fancied a samosa during this last week, so I put together a keto version with a twist on the fathead pizza dough that I use. I was surprised at how well they turned out, so I’m sharing the recipe here. You can use your favourite curry powder and although the
Roast Beetroot
On August 31, 2021 by ElizROAST BEETROOT I just love beetroot. I particularly love it roasted or pickled. This easy roast beetroot recipe is a favourite in our family and although not a keto purist, I have adapted this recipe to be as keto and low-carb friendly as possible. 3 medium beets are used in this recipe and this will
Roasted Romanesco Cauliflower
On August 31, 2021 by ElizROASTED ROMANESCO CAULIFLOWER This is a truly lovely vegetable dish. This lovely, earthy, dark green and beautifully shaped cauliflower is roasted with lemon and garlic and is the perfect accompaniment to roast beef (and keto Yorkshire Puddings) or with roasted or pan-fried chicken. The lemon and garlic bring a fresh taste to what is sometimes
Coffee & Walnut Cake
On August 23, 2021 by ElizCOFFEE & WALNUT CAKE This lovely, rich, traditional cake is my Partner’s favourite. The combination of good coffee and hearty walnuts is a compelling combination for any afternoon tea or anytime sweet treat. You can make the cake with or without the topping (or you can use the topping as a filler in the middle
Teriyaki Sauce
On August 23, 2021 by ElizTERIYAKI SAUCE Since I discovered Bocha Sweet as a natural alternative to granulated and powdered (icing) sugar, I’ve re-visited many of my regular home recipes to convert them to a keto version. One of my favourite things is Teriyaki, but of course it contains sugar and maple syrup (in most recipes). So, in order to
Simply the Best Keto Pasta
On August 23, 2021 by ElizSIMPLY THE BEST KETO PASTA I’ve discovered a new way to make keto pasta! It is nothing short of amazing and this is absolutely the best keto pasta I have made. I’ve had several attempts and had to juggle a number of ingredients, but I’ve got there. This recipe has successfully made sheets of pasta
Dark Chocolate Fudge Cake
On August 11, 2021 by ElizDARK CHOCOLATE FUDGE CAKE This chocolate cake is rich and dark, moist and hearty. The secret ingredient is black treacle and the topping of 100% black chocolate ganache is a must for real chocolate lovers. Rich and decadent, you’ll be able to serve this to your guests whether on a keto/low-carb diet or not. They’ll
Keto Pasta
On August 11, 2021 by ElizKETO PASTA I have tried so many recipes for Keto Pasta – the cheese-based ones that disappointingly, but obviously, just melt when you pour your sauce over or through them and also the courgette/zucchini substitutes for pasta (which are actually quite good and excellent for lasagne), but nothing truly compares to real past. It’s a
Chocolate Ganache
On August 11, 2021 by ElizCHOCOLATE GANACHE This simple to make and wonderful chocolate ganache is made in minutes and can be adjusted to produce a lighter or thicker sauce for the type of ganache you require – from simple glazing for the top of cakes to a cream-type filling for cakes or as piping for a topping for cupcakes
Mango Coulis
On August 3, 2021 by ElizMANGO COULIS My favourite fruit is Mango, particularly Thai mango. There’s simply nothing nicer than mango sorbet, mango coulis, fresh ripe cold mango pieces from the fridge on a hot, summer’s day. It’s difficult on a keto or low-carb diet to incorporate much fruit as most fruits (including mango) contain so much natural sugar. However,
Stem Ginger
On August 3, 2021 by ElizSTEM GINGER I’ve always loved all things ginger and particularly stem ginger. There’s something really rather wonderful about the hot, peppery, warming and incredibly sweet stem ginger taste – and the smell too is amazing. I love baking and cooking with ginger and this simple but useful ingredient is easy to make and transforms your
Ginger Cake with Lemon Icing
On August 3, 2021 by ElizGINGER CAKE with LEMON ICING This lovely, serve-anytime, recipe has been adapted, to be low-carb and keto-friendly, from Saint Delia’s recipe. It’s a firm family favourite in our house. My kids grew up on this cake and I’ve managed to keep it as near as possible to the original. The key for me is using
