low carb coconut, peanut butter & chocolate bars
This is a typical ketogenic dessert - low in carbohydrates and high in fats, also great if you need a boost of energy and you rather like less sweet snacks. It's a mix of coconut, chia seeds, peanut butter, dark chocolate and dried cranberries. As an extra touch I decided to add little bit of … Continue reading low carb coconut, peanut butter & chocolate bars
popeye would love it! – spinach, ricotta & goat cheese keto tart
My non-keto version of this tart is made with puff pastry instead of linseed one, so if you're not restricted with any special food requirements feel free to use puff pastry instead. Although this one is pretty good as well, especially when the edges gets crispy and brown. It's also more fulfilling, because linseed pastry … Continue reading popeye would love it! – spinach, ricotta & goat cheese keto tart
pleasure, but not guilty – raspberry pavlova
I remember making my first Pavlova – the one you can see on the photos. I was excited and terrified in the same time. I’m a master of making baking mistakes, just because I never stick to the recipe and tend to “simplify” the methods if I feel like something can be done easier or … Continue reading pleasure, but not guilty – raspberry pavlova
leek, egg, sweetcorn & smoked mackerel salad
This salad always reminds me of Spring and Easter time. I like crunchiness and freshness of leeks, mixed with sweetness of sweetcorn, they give each other nice balance. Quite sharp onion-like taste of leeks also goes great with a bit dull taste of hard boiled eggs. All this gives very nice balance of flavours and … Continue reading leek, egg, sweetcorn & smoked mackerel salad

mascarpone cheesecake with chia & sweet cherry (keto & no flour)
I'm not a master of baking, I like simple cakes and desserts that everyone could make themselves without feeling of disaster when it's not going to look as on Instagram. Most probably it's simply because I don't have so much patience to spend hours on baking, mixing, waiting to cool down (hate it!) and decorating … Continue reading mascarpone cheesecake with chia & sweet cherry (keto & no flour)

raw beetroot salad, and my brain vs my body
If my brain and my body could have a conversation, it would look more or less like that: Brain: Oh Body life is hard, let's just sit on the sofa and eat ice cream all day! Body: No f***ing way! I don't want to be bloated and in constant crave for something sweet! Brain: C'mon … Continue reading raw beetroot salad, and my brain vs my body
