Tired of cauliflower pizza bases I’ve been experimenting with seed flour bases and have come up with this recipe for a low carb pizza. It’s actually more of a pancake / flat bread than a pizza base but worked very well in our pizza oven.
A friend of mine recently gave me a nice cut of bacon. Upon first seeing the piece of meat I thought it was a duck breast. The idea of duck got stuck in my mind and I decided to convert an Angry Duck recipe into “Angry Pork”. This will then be a starter for date night where the two other dishes are Mexican Soup and Lamb Shank with oven roasted veg.
OK, so winter is upon us, so we have to take the soup pot out! Normally I start the first soup of the winter with a chicken based soup. This winter is no different.
Bread is probably one of the foods that banters miss most about their new lifestyle. There are loads of recipes for low carb bread, but most have almond flour as an ingredient which is just so expensive. This recipe replaces the almond flour with a flour made by grinding sunflower seeds and linseeds – great taste at a fraction of the cost. An additional benefit is that these seeds are super healthy, You can also add ground pumpkin or sesame seeds to the mix. (more…)
Feeling like Italian food and experimenting with my molecular
gastronomy kit on date night I decided to make a very simple Italian menu with some Heston Blumenthal wonders thrown in for the wow factor. (more…)
I got a blue wildebeest fillet from a friend and decided to make carpaccio as a starter and a main course prepared 3 different ways.
Got some kudu neck from a friend of mine and decided to make a potjie with a bit of a Moroccan slant to it.
Feeling nostalgic for our Bali holiday so long ago I decided on an
Indonesian menu for this week’s date night. (more…)
Adrienne got gammon for a really good price last week and we thought why not make homemade pork sausages ? (more…)
