Asparagus and pea stir fry with parsnip mash and veggie burgers This is one of our combined effort cooking sessions using standard British ingredients such as peas, baked beans, asparagus, parsnips and cheddar cheese.

Aubergine lasagne with red onion and brie salad Patrick follows a recipe to the letter. He turns out perfect meals when he cooks. I am a super greenie and cannot bear to waste food. I open the fridge, see what has to be used up, then figure out what to make from there. Patrick has …
I’m still sharing our recipes and meals on Patrick’s blog. Patrick started this blog when he met me because he got so tired of being asked what vegetarians eat. And since we try to eat low carb vegetarian food, he decided to start a blog to share our meals. Vegetarian food gets a bad rap mainly …
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.

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. …
