This version of chicken parm is one of those low carb / keto midweek meals that may seem simple at-a-glance, but will still deliver great, familiar flavours. The most important thing is that the chicken is not overcooked. While skinless breasts lend themselves to be great options to flatten and use in dishes like this, they are notorious for drying out. Stick to my timings and you will be okay. The courgettes are a lovely side veg option: I find this method of roasting them results in soft, buttery batons. Just lovely!” If you live in the UK, you can shop for this recipe’s ingredients on the ..read more

“This steak, cauli puree and broccoli with browned butter is a delicious, yet simple meal that makes a lovely date-night option if you are watching your carb intake. It is also special enough to put out as a dinner party treat for visiting friends. The vegetables can be made at the same time and kept in a warm oven while you turn your attention to the steaks. This creation involves some multi-tasking and several pans on the hob at the same time, but it’s worth it! Don’t skip the step where we brown the butter. It’s that intoxicating flavour that makes the whole dish sing! If you live in the U ..read more

“A roast chicken is always easy crowd-pleaser! In this easy, very low carb dish, I serve beautifully cooked chicken (featuring a hint of lemon and thyme flavouring) with a side dish of simply cooked greens smothered in a cheesy, garlic sauce. High in fat, low in carbs – this is your keto Sunday sorted!. If you live in the UK, you can shop for this recipe’s ingredients on the handy app called CHERRYPICK (in partnership with Sainsbury’s).

“I cheat a little when it comes to making stews and long-cooking curries. My nifty technique uses steaks (not stewing beef cuts which require low and slow cooking) for a quicker cooking experience. I fry steaks medium-rare, until well-browned on the outside over high heat, then leave them to rest. Just before taking the curry off the heat, I slice (or chop) the steaks and return them to the curry to gently warm through and cook ever-so-gently further. The result is succulent meat. I use this technique in all my cookbooks. If you live in the UK, you can shop for this recipe’s ingredients on th ..read more

“This is a lovely light lunch option for my very low carb (keto) readers who follow a meat-free lifestyle. I lean on tasty asparagus to bulk out the flavour and texture of the soup. Asparagus is rich in essential nutrients, as well as being high in dietary fibre. They are particularly high in vitamins A, C, K, and folate. Spinach also features, and not just for a boost of bright colour – it too is nutrient dense. If you aren’t vegan, opt for regular cream in place of the soya alternative used here.

“This tasty keto chicken soup uses thighs because I use the skins to make great little crispy, crackling garnishes! Truthfully, they may not even make it to the table because it’s likely you will eat them all before it comes to serving. No judgement here, I think that’s #ChefsPrivilege!

“This comforting low carb (keto) cauliflower soup features the great combination of curry and coconut flavours. It’s one for the meat-free followers, but if you aren’t vegan or vegetarian, use chicken stock in place of vegetable stock for more depth of flavour. You will notice I go a step further to initially roast the seasoned cauli florets which enhance the colour and overall flavour. Be sure to keep a few aside for a pretty presentation and a little texture.

“You will learn a nifty technique in this fragrant duck and shiitake soup. It infuse chicken stock with simple, pungent ingredients. This results in a fragrant, Asian-style broth. The broth is then finished with coconut milk and beautifully cooked sliced duck. However, it’s the flavour of the fried shiitake mushrooms which really steal the show, so please do not use any other mushrooms here.

“These burger salad tacos are a fun way to enjoy all the familiar flavours of a cheeseburger – but in a fresh and light way! Along with a seasoned beef mince – cheese, gherkins, tomato and even a burger sauce feature. Be sure to use the firmest leaves to fill, which will make enjoying these ‘taco-style’ a lot easier.
