Halloumi, avocado and strawberry salad
Inspired by a recent visit to Juliet’s (my favourite Tunbridge Wells café) this salad is the perfect accompaniment to grilled or barbecued meats; tonight it is going to sidle up to a grilled lamb chop from Speaight’s butcher. To me, supper doesn’t get any better than this! However, this salad would also make a deliciousContinue reading “Halloumi, avocado and strawberry salad”
Spicy Mexican Bean and Green Salad
Although this recipe is a little higher in carbs than I normally include (containing roughly 10g carbs per 100g) a small portion (c.150g) in an otherwise low carb meal should not threaten ketosis once you are keto-adapted.

To me, May is the most beautiful month; the garden is full of colour and life, summer is still waiting to happen. The new season’s asparagus is an added bonus. You can add it to soups and salads, or simply eat on it’s own with a little butter and black pepper, or a poached egg.

Easiest ever smoked mackerel paté
It’s not always easy to eat enough oily fish, and it can be difficult to find easy and delicious low carb foods for lunch and snacks. This recipe ticks both boxes, and it’s almost too easy to call a recipe:
Chocolate Avocado Mousse
There are endless variations of this recipe out there: here’s mine. But Now for a confession…
Oliver Twist Broad Beans
Not everyone likes them, in fact a lot of people don’t, as I was reminded on Saturday evening when I served a large dish of fresh broad beans at supper with friends. Whoops! My long-standing friend with a long-standing dislike of the most unloved bean was polite enough to try them – and then ask for more!Continue reading “Oliver Twist Broad Beans”
