Beetroot, Coconut, Lemongrass and Lime Soup

I’ve adapted this recipe from one I found in Leith’s Vegetarian Bible. This soup has an amazing colour and the flavours are really great.  Beetroot is getting a lot of good press as a super food not only for the health benefits of all the antioxidants and there aren’t too many red coloured vegetables around [...]

Recipes in the Guardian last Saturday

There were a few good recipes in Saturdays Guardian that are suitable for fat loss meals. A couple of them might be a bit high in carbs on a strict intense phase but they are all generally pretty good, just make sure you have some protein with them.  I’ve ripped them out and put them [...]

Chilli and Coriander Jam from Ottolenghi

I first saw this recipe in Yotam Ottolenghis column in the Guardian.  It’s really delicious full of great herbs that can help improve your performance, its a doddle to make and it should last you a couple of weeks stored in the firdge. From the original recipe I’removed the sugar completley and it still tastes [...]

Nut Butters and Celery a healthy fat loss snack

Out and about today on a road trip and stumbled across this lovely farm shop near cirrencester. organic farm shop It’s got a very Australian feel to it with a veranda out the back where you can relax and have a cup of tea. The store is well stocked and I picked up one thing [...]

Butternut squash and sweet spices

Made a recipe from my new Yotam Ottolenghi book. It was a bit diddly getting the seeds out of the cardomoms it said 2 tbs but I had a lot of spice mixture left over. I reckon about 10-20 cardamoms would be enough and 1/2 a teaspoon of allspice and sprinkle that over the butternut [...]

Avocado Lime Pie

As a pudding this is about as good as it gets when it comes to a dessert, it’s pretty low in sugar per portion and full of lots of good fats form the nuts and the avocado. The way it’s presented here leaves a lot to be desired as it doenst look that great. I’m [...]
