popeye would love it! – spinach, ricotta & goat cheese keto tart
My non-keto version of this tart is made with puff pastry instead of linseed one, so if you’re not restricted with any special food requirements feel free to use puff pastry instead. Although this one is pretty good as well, especially when the edges gets crispy and brown. It’s also more fulfilling, because linseed pastry…

homemade black pudding dumplings
Let me tell you that, despite the seemingly dull and boring work that must be put into their preparation, making dumplings gives me a lot of joy. It’s like yoga for chefs 😉 When you can let go of all your thoughts and focus only on sticking together pieces of dough, pinching a nice frill…

slowly cooked vegan cabbage rolls
This recipe was a total improvisation and actually it was made in the process of cooking. My idea was to make cabbage rolls with Quorn mince, because I wasn’t very keen to make cabbage rolls with pork or beef mince (pork mince cabbage rolls recipe). Don’t get me wrong, I love traditional cabbage rolls with…

broccoli and courgette casserole inspired by Jamie Oliver
When I saw that recipe couple weeks ago on Jamie Oliver’s youtube channel, the idea of this casserole was all the time on the back of my head. So finally I decided to try it. Exactly like Jamie said: it’s quick and easy to make and have a look at the effect – it looks…

vegetarian stuffed aubergines (ketofriendly)
This recipe was absolutely spontaneous. I was planning to make vegetarian lasagne, using slices of aubergines as a lasagne sheets, but I suddenly changed my mind and decided to stuff them. I think aubergines were to pretty to slice them. While preparing the stuffing I also decided to grab couple mushrooms, some cherry tomatoes, and…

hearty & warming lamb stew (with a slow cooking option)
January and February period I would say it’s the coldest in Scotland. Temperature doesn’t get very low in the city, but on the days when it’s very windy or wet, temperature around 0℃ might feel like good -6℃. It’s still not extremely cold, comparing to other European countries, but if you get used to milder…

mushroom and cheddar keto crepes
I like the idea of keto crepes very much as, just like traditional crepes, they give a huge field of creativity. Thus, by treating them as a base, you can prepare many different ideas for ketogenic meals. This is my fourth keto pancake idea, and I have a few more in my head. It’s typical…

keto spinach & feta crepes
Finally coming back to our food routine. Christmas food was fantastic, but reminded me why I like ketogenic diet 😉 Feeling heavy, bloated and having a heartburn after eating far too many cakes and feeling constantly wanting to snack, made me believe that a high-carb diet is not for me. So slowly we’re coming back…

christmas honey glazed smoked gammon roast
That Christmas couple years ago was actually the first in my life, I prepared all by myself and, apart from one tiny accident, which could result in the arrival of the fire brigade (have a look at jogurt & blackcurrant cake recipe), everything went smoothly 🙂 This beautiful honey glazed smoked gammon was a star…

quick & easy pesto chicken skillet (ketofriendly)
I remember when I first time tried pesto many years ago, I bought small jar in the shop and prepared with fried chicken and pasta. Smelled weird and tasted awful, even my dog didn’t want to try it, even though she loved pasta 😉 It tasted terrible and for the next few years I didn’t…
