I got the basis of this recipe from the new Atkins cookbook by Colette Heimowitz. The original recipe was called Cardamom Butter Cookies. Patrick always follows a recipe to a T, whereas I tend to modify and tweak to accommodate what we happen to have at home at the time. I had chocolate chips and I wanted to …
This bread is more like a rich moist cake. It’s yummy and filling. The recipe is from Colette Heimowitz Atkins Cookbook in the breakfast section. Lemon Poppy Seed Bread My version of this bread had a few changes to accommodate our store cupboard. I didn’t have poppy seeds so I used black sesame seeds, which …
I’m hi-jacking Patrick’s blog while he is working so hard. Patrick and I both try to follow a low carb vegetarian diet.

Andhra Carrot Curry We are great believers in using up what we have, rather than throwing it away and buying more. When Karen went back to SA she left me a well stocked fridge, amongst which were a lot of carrots. Also being on an Indian crusade, I had all the spices. What to make? I …
Indian accompaniments with my stuffed peppers I am still having a bit of an Indian moment and enjoying using recipes from Monisha Bharadwaj’s book – ‘healthy Indian in minutes’. I made the Gajar Ka Salaad, or Carrot and Cashew salad with Honey, and the Lal Kobichi Bhaji or Red cabbage with Mustard. I love the …
