There is something about making a pesto in a pestle and mortar. Something soothing despite the thudding sound. Something authentic and homemade. The process of making pesto is stress-relieving; while pounding the essence out of ingredients and into something new. Something complex and complete. Something bright and beautiful. Something to inject flavour into a dish…
Grain-free Collagen Muffins
Grain-free Collagen Muffins These muffins are best straight out the oven, soft and warm, with a slice of butter that melts into it. Yes, you read that right – a slice of butter. I keep my butter in the fridge and I like slicing it. I love just butter, however, jam will work wonderfully with…
Gluten-free Sourdough Discard Cacao and Cinnamon Skillet Cake
Gluten-free Sourdough Discard Cacao and Cinnamon Skillet Cake. Yup, quite a mouthful. I am doing some recipe development for this month’s #sourdoughmonthlychallenge (a group that I am part of on Instagram) which is to make something with Sourdough Discard. I wasn’t sure if I should post this as I’m not certain anyone else will like…
Gluten-free Sourdough Bread
Gluten-free Sourdough Bread This bread is delicious, regardless of whether or not you can eat gluten. And if, for whatever reason you, like me, cannot have Psyllium Husk, then this recipe really is a must to try. I cannot go long without bread – and I can quite happily have bread every day (with different…
Spinach Wraps
So these wraps I don’t actually eat as a wrap. I either lay them flat on a plate and top them with a variety of crunchy delights; or I make them like a sushi roll and slice them. Either way is delicious. The idea for them came about as I had bought a bag of…
Vanilla Chia Pudding
Vanilla Chia Pudding I am aware that there are so many chia porridge and pudding recipes out there. However, I do believe that mine is special. I make kefir every day – as in, I strain it and add fresh milk on a daily basis. From time to time I add one third cream and…
Rice Pudding
I have come across a few low carb rice pudding recipes over the years, most with cauliflower rice, and then some with konjac rice. They never really appealed to me, until I saw a post by Naomi Sherman (https://naomishermanfoodcreative.com) on Instagram of a rice pudding. It just looked so incredibly beautiful and delicious. When I…
Wraps
Wraps are definitely on the Antony & Keyoma’s Top 10 Favourite Meals List. I have made many variations and they have all been successes. There’s been Mexican: chicken, guacamole, lettuce, cheddar cheese, salsa and fresh coriander; Greek: Lamb kofta, tzatziki, zucchini hummus and lots of fresh mint; and there have been many random combinations. I…
Apricot Jam
I am fairly certain that we pretty much always had jam in the house when I was growing up. And the majority of the time, it was apricot jam – which was my favourite. It’s probably still my favourite. I now also love strawberry, fig, blueberry and peach jam. But apricot jam will always remind…
Collagen Bread
Bread. A fresh, thick slice still warm from the oven. Slathered with butter. Topped with a dollop of homemade jam. That’s the way I like this bread. Although I must say I like it just as much the next day when it is no longer warm. And I also like it toasted. It is a…
Jam
I LOVE jam. Fig. Strawberry. Apricot. Growing up, thick slices of fresh bread lathered with butter and topped with dollops of jam was a regular quick meal. Despite being a delicious favorite, I didn’t consider it a treat. Since cutting out wheat and sugar about ten years ago, I stopped eating this joyful combination. Even…
