Always dreaming about food...and living a low carbohydrate lifestyle in a very carb-y world
So my new year resolution is to keep things simple! I think there is a yearning when life is complicated to keep things simple. But truly as I get older I find I yearn for simpler flavours, easy dishes, uncomplicated stuff in general. I realise I need less material things and chasing after the next … More Low Carb Spaghetti and Meatballs
Pineapple gammon ham and roast turkey. Both took 5 hours each to cook. Appetizer corner with charcuterie board and a trio of dips – smoked trout dip, chicken liver pate and red pepper dip. Buffet line (clockwise from left) with roasted broccoli, bacon and Brussels sprouts, Italian sausage stuffing, roasted garlic cauliflower mash, kale salad … More My Best Turkey Recipe
Did I ever share that I have cravings? This Christmas season I think a memory came back to me of eating an old world German sugar cookie at Christmas. It was recently when I started trawling the internet that I discovered these delectable little things are called “pfeffenusse” and are spicy little sugar cookies from … More Low Carb Pfeffenuss (German Sugar Cookie)
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! This is really the season when I feel lighthearted and care-free. Although clinics are full, most of the administrative work is in a lull period and so I can actually work decent hours with a proper time to go home and the weekends I am left to … More Low Carb Instant Pot Fish and Mussel Chowder
Ok I admit it. It’s my favourite, most wonderful time of the year. It’s a month from Christmas but Christmas baking has started. This is the time of the year I dream recipes. I love everything about Christmas. We have our traditional walk down Orchard Road where we will likely diss the decorations again for … More Low Carb Gingerbread Cheesecake
It’s crazy. 2019 has pretty much sped past and it’s coming to the season of thanksgiving, reflection and resolution-making! The end of the year hopefully will slow down a bit although I must say where clinics are concerned, specialist paediatricians actually work harder over the school holidays than at other times of the year. Much … More Kimchi Noodles
I’m not a natural baker. I slavishly follow recipes and while I love trying out new recipes, it takes me a while to tweak them and I’m not sure if I have that much staying power to bring the recipe to perfection. Recently I had a surprise birthday party and I was given a beautiful … More Somewhat Low Carb Carrot Cake
So I’ve been complaining about my busy season and not getting enough sleep and exercise. I confess the weight has been creeping up so it was after a medical appointment recently that I decided that I needed a “control-alternate-delete” radical reset for my diet. I’ve been doing low carb for more than 6 years but … More Roasted Mushroom Crisps
So I admit it. I’ve jumped onto the chaffle bandwagon. Love it or hate it, the new keto craze for chaffles (cheese and egg waffles) is here to stay. I didn’t quite understand the chaffle craze since the family is pretty happy with my cheddar cheese and chives waffle recipe. But I guess that there … More Okonomiyaki Chaffles
I’m the ultimate caterer at heart. It’s conference time again and as this several thousand strong conference at Singapore Expo usually does not cater lunch for delegates, it was my happy space to prepare a packed lunch for the family. I was vacillating between making a quiche or possibly even lasagna but one of the … More Cauliflower Rice Inari
