Cherry Bakewell Galette is soft, almondy and bursting with fresh, juicy fruit. Oh, and it is lower in carbohydrates than the original bakewell tart, but just as delicious.

Cherries are without doubt my favourite fruit. Of course I adore these crisp and juicy crimson fruits as they are: A whole punnet can disappear before I’ve even unpacked the groceries. But sometimes it’s fun to pop them in desserts and salads. So, for this month of August, when Scottish cherries are plentiful, I’m doing both. Continue reading

Seaweed and Shiitake Marinara Sauce is a simple tomato sauce, bursting with cherry tomatoes and enhanced with nutritious dried seaweed and fresh shiitake mushrooms. It goes superbly well with gnocchi, pasta and even roasted cauliflower. Vegan and low-carb.

heirloom tomatoes – you may use these instead of canned tomatoes in this recipe.

Tomatoes are going strong here in the UK, so let’s talk about tomato sauce.

Tomatoes are one of those fruit-vegetables that are welcome in most any category of recipe – sauce, pasta, gratin, tian, bake, bread, juice, pie, tart (and here’s another one from me), soup, sandwich, salad. Even dessert. And they are a proper cross cultural food; the base of many a sauce – from Italy to India. But we associate them most strongly, perhaps, with sauce. And Italy.

I am here to subvert this slightly. As you would expect. Continue reading

No yeast required. Continue reading

Celeriac Rösti Waffles with Creamy Crab and Caviar

Why not make these caviar and crab-topped celeriac rösti waffles for an easy, luxurious, restaurant-style supper – but in your own home? And use black lumpfish caviar, as well as tinned or frozen crab meat, for a very affordable and delicious treat! Child-friendly options included in the recipe card, so they don’t need to miss out.

As most of you know, I don’t have a huge sweet tooth. Sure, I do eat sweet things occasionally, but they aren’t really my thing. So it might surprise you that I own a waffle maker. And that it gets used fairly frequently.

What, other than waffles does one make in a waffle maker? Well, rösti waffles. I’ve got a sweet potato rösti waffle already here, as well as kimchi rice waffles. And now that I have, for the sake of my joints and gut, adopted a lower carbohydrate diet, I thought it high time I made celeriac ones. And I’m soooo glad that I did. Andrew loved them too. And he can eat what the heck he likes. 🙂 Continue reading

Broccoli, Leek and Feta Clafoutis is a soft, rich and deeply savory crustless pie, studded with griddled Tenderstem broccoli, leeks and dill. A filling dinner for four, or just-right side dish for six. Leftovers are good too, so don’t think of down-sizing. 🙂

Keeping going with my dive into my favourite cookbooks, this recipe is a riff on one from Diana Henry‘s latest cookbook, From the Oven to the Table. Written in her trademark warm, accessible voice, it is easy to pass an afternoon day-dreaming in its pages. Continue reading

Lentil Kibbeh Pie is a vegan riff on Yotam Ottolenghi’s delicious Open Kibbeh from his cookbook, Jerusalem. This layered, savory open pie is easy to make by baking layers of bulgar wheat, seasoned lentils, mushrooms and sumac-spiked tahini sauce. Full of herbs and warm spices, too. It is a perfect for dinner, to snack on, and even taking on picnics. Continue reading

Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies are a cross between a chocolate brownie and a peanut butter cookie. Soft, sweet, and very chocolatey, these are quick to make and sugar-free. Perfect for a low-carb or ketogenic lifestyle, but adaptable for sugar-inclusive diets.

Before I get to the recipe I lay out what are the best sugar substitutes to use in baking, and my opinion on their taste and uses. If you fancy just heading straight to the recipe do scroll on down. Or hit the Jump To Recipe button at the top. And be assured that you DON’T need to use these sugars to make this recipe. I’ve sorted it for both sugar and no-carb sweeteners. Let me know in the comments which way you will be making these delicious, brownie-like cookies!
