Fresh fruit and yogurt with nuts and seeds This is Patrick’s morning creation. Every now and again Karen needs a break from what Patrick would happily eat every single day of his life – muesli. We know muesli is good for you but most commercial muesli’s are full of sugar and refined carbs. Patrick makes his own low carb …
Butternut, Spinach and Blue Cheese Salad with Pumpkin Seeds I’m still sharing recipes on Patrick’s blog while he is short on spare time. Last week I blogged about meals we had at Strathmore Arms in Scotland. This week I am sharing a meal we had at The Lookout Deck – Hout Bay in Cape Town. It’s …
I have semi taken over Patrick’s Meat Free Everyday blog until he has more time to himself. We’re hoping that closer to the end of the year when his work contract expires he will have more time to cook, write and post. Vegetable Strudel with Boiled Baby Potatoes and Hollandaise Sauce This recipe goes back …
Orange Choc Chip low carb muffins Orange Choc Chip Low Carb Muffins Since I read in Colette Heimowitz New Atkins Cookbook that chocolate is still on a low carb menu, well I’ve been experimenting with chocolate. The trick is to buy unsweetened cooking chocolate and I found unsweetened chocolate buttons in the baking section of …
Cheesy low carb bread Much as I am enjoying baking and being able to eat sweet – low carb – treats, my craving is not for sweets, but rather savoury flavours, like cheese and Marmite. I made Lemon Poppy Seed bread from the New Atkins Cookbook a few weeks ago with this recipe. The mechanics …
Cardamom Butter Cookies I am still baking. And using Patrick’s low carb vegetarian blog as a platform to share the results of my efforts. Patrick, as some of you may know, works in the marine oil industry in summer in Scotland and has been a bit predisposed. This recipe comes from Colette Heimowitz Atkins Cookbook. …
I got the basis of this recipe from the new Atkins cookbook by Colette Heimowitz. The original recipe was called Cardamom Butter Cookies. Patrick always follows a recipe to a T, whereas I tend to modify and tweak to accommodate what we happen to have at home at the time. I had chocolate chips and I wanted to …
This bread is more like a rich moist cake. It’s yummy and filling. The recipe is from Colette Heimowitz Atkins Cookbook in the breakfast section. Lemon Poppy Seed Bread My version of this bread had a few changes to accommodate our store cupboard. I didn’t have poppy seeds so I used black sesame seeds, which …
I’m hi-jacking Patrick’s blog while he is working so hard. Patrick and I both try to follow a low carb vegetarian diet. While there are plenty forums and recipes for carnivores, there is not a lot of information for vegetarians. And when it comes to low carb baking, well there’s even less. Patrick has a bit of a sweet …
We love Rose Elliot’s cook books. Great to find a low carb cookbook for vegetarians. I have made her low carb bread before but Karen wanted a sweet version. She used Rose Elliot’s “Cornbread” recipe but added stevia, cinnamon and mixed dried fruit. It’s a pity manufacturers insist on added sugar to everything, which is …
