Low carb pizza base
Finally a base that you can roll thin enough and still have crispy edges but hits the low carb sweet spot!
Best meatballs ever
There is so much flavour in these meatballs. The sauce is gorgeous mopped up with a low carb roll. Forget pasta you don't miss it with a side of green beans and topped with Parmesan cheese.
Happy pancakes
These are 'happy' because they keep the body and brain on an even keel without a huge rush of insulin needed to deal with the high starch ingredients of regular pancakes.
Best ever creme caramel
Using raw milk and the freshest local eggs, this is a dish made in heaven. It's fructose free as it only uses glucose based sweeteners so it has a subtle sweetness. Divine.

Pizza rolls
Melted and golden Buffalo mozzarella, basil and tomato is as traditional as you can get. But without the bread that causes blood sugar spikes that can lead to long term illness.
Seed Biscuits
Based on my pecan brittle recipe, this is a no-nut crisp and sweet alternative. It's also packed with loads of vitamins and Omega 3 fat.
Crazy good cookies
Not only are these delicious, they have added omega 3 from the flaxseed and protein from the almond butter.
Chocolate Raspberry Coconut Cups
Using rice syrup as the sweetener these are beyond delicious. Made and frozen in 30 minutes they make a nice dinner party petit four.
Quinoa Arancini
This is my take on the crispy Italian rice balls. They are filled with buffalo mozzarella as we digest it more easily.
Toasted Tamari Seeds
The seed mix here includes calcium and omega 3 as well as a myriad of other vitamins and minerals.
Cauli Salad
Cauliflower is so versatile. So using it with different textures in the same salad makes a delicious dish.
Beetroot, Feta and Quinoa Salad
Quinoa might be the latest 'fad' food to some, but it's nutty texture is great for making substantial salads.
Vegetarian Chilli
This is packed with great pulses. It is a quick version as there is little prep involved and it freezes superbly well.
Fish pie with crushed potato top
The crushed potato top adds another dimension to this classic dish because of the fibre in the skins. It also makes a nice crispy topping.
Refried beans
Not only delicious, the black beans are rich in vitamins and minerals, they also provide you with a great source of protein.
Tomato and mushroom sauce
This is based on one of my mums recipes, goodness knows where she picked it up. But the smokey flavour mixed with the thyme is simply irresistible.
Mexican mixed puy
This is a vegetarian version of the Mexican meat recipe. It is lovely piled onto real Mexican Masa flour tacos.
Sausage casserole
Such a comforting meal and really easy to prepare. Use good quality gluten free sausages.
Bean Bolognese
This is a really robust sauce. Full of brilliant antioxidants, a good source of fibre, and it's absolutely delicious!
Poached pears
Easier than you think. These make a wonderful dessert, especially when entertaining. And because the fruit is whole you get all the benefit of the fibre within.
Mango quinoa salad
These flavours are so fresh and zingy. The sweetness of the mango goes so well with the savoury elements. The fried onions in the mix add another flavour dimension.
coconut and almond cookies
Coconut and almond cookies
These are dairy free, they have a lovely taste to them from the coconut oil.
Sweet lemon bake

Melted cauliflower
Its not the prettiest dish, but it tastes delicious. So simple. Throw the ingredients together and bake for an hour. Side dish or main event, it works well.
Sweet tomato salad
Colourful and bursting with flavour, this is a lovely looking dish as well as tasting delicious.
Savoury coconut crackers
