Low Sugar Chocolate-Covered Blueberries

In my pre-sugar-detox days, I used to snack on chocolate-covered-raisins. All.the.time. Because, well, healthy! Right? It wasn’t until I started reading labels when we quit sugar that I realised how high the sugar content of those so-called “healthy snack packs” was. I was gobsmacked. “Dark chocolate” meant 55% cocoa solids (and so 45% sugar), wrapped…

Dad’s Trout with Almonds

I recently shared the recipe for my mum’s delicious tomato mozzarella tart. I mostly learned my cooking and pastry skills from mum, while my dad – a mathematician – was always more of the baker in our family. I get my love of bread-making from him. But every now and then, my dad would cook…

I love making savoury cakes, mostly for ease. You can bake a…

Low Sugar Plum & Rosemary Jam

I’m not sure there is a better summer family outing than a “pick-your-own” farm. We discovered one a little drive from us and were left enthralled. We got our daily dose of Vitamin D, great exercise, family bonding and the discovery of truly fresh, straight-off-the-tree produce that tastes a-million-and-one times better than any fresh fruit…
