Celeriac & Cheese Soufflé Recipe Card

Be Captivated By Celeriac

As we all know, beauty comes from within, not from outward appearance and this has never been truer than with the wonderful root vegetable, celeriac. You may have been deterred from trying it, wondering just how to use this strange and knobbly ingredient. However, it is so worthwhile overcoming any unjustified fears, so that you can savour and enjoy its delicious, mild, nutty, celery-like flavour.
Celeriac is naturally low in fat and is a good source of dietary and soluble fibre, Vitamins C, B6 & K and minerals Phosphorus, Potassium, Magnesium and Manganese. Compared to potatoes, it has a significantly lower carbohydrate content (almost 90% lower) but almost double the dietary fibre.
It is available all year round but at its best from September to April. To prepare the vegetable, use a knife to top and tail it, then peel it to remove the rough outer skin. The peeled root can discolour quickly, so squeeze over some lemon juice if using in a salad or cover with water before cooking. It can be eaten raw in salads or cooked by steaming, boiling or roasting.

Are You Unknowningly Sabotaging Your 5:2 Diet Days?

noreply@blogger.com (Dips) — Thu, 28 May 2015 14:30:00 +0000

5:2 Diet Tips Fasting Day Hidden Calories Tip Cheat Sheet

Part of what makes the Two-Day 5:2 Diet Plan so popular is its simplicity. You only need diet and track your calories for 2 days a week, leaving you with the freedom to enjoy delicious and healthy foods without needing to track what you eat for 5 days a week. However, could you be inadvertently sabotaging your Diet Days?
I'm sure you know that on your 2 Diet Days, it is really important to track everything that you eat and drink in your 24hr fasting phase. The best way to do this is to write everything down, either in a pocketbook or on your mobile phone or tablet. As well as there not being much of a margin for error on diet days, tracking leads to conscious consumption.
Also, be aware of hidden calorie traps on dieting days, it's all too easy to exceed your 500 or 600 calorie limit by not being mindful of the calories in the most innocent-looking food and drink. For example, did you know that a mug of tea with semi-skimmed milk is 18 calories and that there are even 6 calories in a teaspoon of black pepper?
With that in mind, I've put together a FREE diet days cheat sheet PDF identifying the calories that lurk in food and drink that we could easily consume almost without thinking!
Click here to download it instantly.

If you would like some ideas for very low calorie snacks that won't sabotage your 5:2 Diet Fasting Days, then take a peek at my Two-Day 5:2 Diet Plan Snack Recipes Booklet. It features a selection of 10 savoury and sweet snacks recipes which are all 30 calories & under. To get your FREE copy, you just need to let me know where to send it!

Do any of these surprise you? I know I can have a tendancy to be a little over-liberal with the pepper pot as I love freshly ground black pepper - what's your weakness on diet days, do let me know :)

how much liquid/stock should you include?
how long should you cook something for?
what size dish should you use?

How to have a safe & stress-free gluten free kitchen
What to look for on food labels and food allergen labeling
Sourcing gluten free ingredients
Safety tips to avoid cross-contamination
Tips on canny shopping and perfectly sized kitchenware for two.

All the recipes included in this cookbook are easy-to-follow and simple-to-make. What’s more, they are all so delicious and nutritious; you can serve them to anyone, even those who would normally eat gluten. This inspiring, exciting recipe collection will become an essential part of your gluten free kitchen.

What's Super About the Rhubarb Season?

noreply@blogger.com (Dips) — Thu, 16 Apr 2015 13:34:00 +0000

Rhubarb is a a healthy superfood

Fruit or Vegetable?

Strictly speaking, rhubarb is a vegetable (it’s from the same botanical grouping as sorrel and dock). However, despite it’s naturally tart, sour taste, we actually most often cook these thick, celery-like stalks as though they were a fruit.
Rhubarb is a perennial plant, but, dependent upon variety, it can crop in two seasons: late winter (January to early February, known as forced ) and spring (late March to June). It’s the distinctive, ruby-green stalks that are the edible part of the plant, whereas the leaves are inedible, as they contain high levels of oxalic acid, which can damage kidneys.

What's Super About Rhubarb?

Rhubarb is often described as a “Superfood” and there are two main reasons for this nomenclature based on scientific studies. Firstly, a number of studies have identified rhubarb as having a cholesterol-lowering effect when eaten, and lower LDL cholesterol levels is strongly associated with a maintaining a healthy heart. Importantly, these studies have been into the effect of eating rhubarb or extracts of rhubarb in humans.
Secondly, cooking rhubarb (and slow-cooking or baking in particular) has been found to increase the amount of antioxidant chemicals (polyphenols) it contains. The researchers found that polyphenol content was generally greater in cooked rhubarb than raw rhubarb. The highest polyphenol levels were found in slow-cooked and baked rhubarb. Headlines at the time claimed that rhubarb could prevent cancer, as other research has indicated that polyphenols may offer protection from diseases such as cancer. However, it is important to note that this research on rhubarb cooking methods looked only at the levels of polyphenols derived from the different cooking methods, it specifically did not include any testing of how the human body then responded to consuming that rhubarb.

Honey Ginger Rhubarb
Meringue Pots Recipe

Delicious & Nutritious Rhubarb

Rhubarb is also a good source of calcium (for bone health), lutein (for eye health), Vitamin K (for healthy blood) and a wide-range of antioxidants.
Due to its natural toughness and sour taste, rhubarb is almost always cooked rather than eaten raw. Whilst it can be used as an accompaniment to savoury foods, it’s predominately used in sweet dishes, such as my Honey Ginger Rhubarb Meringue Pots Recipe. This heart-healthy, low-fat recipe is under 175 calories with only 0.7g of total fat and is diary-free, gluten-free and suitable for vegetarians.

It's A Cracking Easter April Menu of the Month!

noreply@blogger.com (Dips) — Wed, 01 Apr 2015 06:30:00 +0000

Gluten-Free Easter Celebration Chocolate Cake

For April’s Menu of the Month we’re celebrating the long Easter weekend with magical chocolate egg treats, gluten-free baking the whole family will enjoy and delicious ideas that will take you from a fabulous fish dinner on Good Friday through to afternoon tea on Easter Sunday.

Good Friday Fish Supper

Good Friday Fish Supper served ‘En Papillote’

Fish is traditionally served for supper on Good Friday but it can be tricky to cook perfectly especially if you are serving a crowd. Why not try cooking your fish ‘En Papillote’, which is not only a really easy way to guarantee succulent, moist and tasty food but also provides some real “theatre” when serving. It’s not just the children that will be thrilled to have their own parcel to open, the grown-ups love it too! Read more about cooking ‘En Papillote’ here.

Low-Fat Mini Brownie Easter Eggs

Mini Brownie Easter Eggs

Not only are these Mini Brownie Easter Eggs super fun to make, at only 101 calories and 2.8g of saturated fat per serving, they’ll keep both Mum and kids happy too. I’ve been saving my egg shells as I’ve been cooking over the last couple of weeks, thoroughly washing out the shells and allowing them to drain dry on kitchen towel. I’ve then used the egg shells as the cases to cook my Not-So-Chunky-Monkey Brownie Bites recipe (featured in my Quick & Easy Low Calorie & Low Fat Desserts, Cakes & Bakes Diet Recipe Cookbook).

Gluten-Free Easter Celebration Chocolate Cake

For a show-stopping treat that the whole family can enjoy, why not bake my gluten-free Easter Celebration Chocolate Cake for afternoon team on Easter Sunday? With a rich, whipped chocolate ganache frosting, and decorated with pretty chocolate eggs, this is a real crowd pleaser. It’s completely gluten-free and organic chestnut flour is one of the secret ingredients that I use to help make this the ultimate chocolate cake! There's lots more tips for perfect gluten-free baking in my

However you celebrate the Easter holiday, I hope it’s filled with joy, fun, family and tasty food!

Have you tried cooking En Papillote?

noreply@blogger.com (Dips) — Mon, 23 Mar 2015 11:10:00 +0000

Have you ever tried cooking ‘En Papillote’?

This is a fabulously simple method of cooking where each individual portion is “parcelled” up in either baking parchment or kitchen foil and baked. Effectively, a papillote creates a fully sealed mini-oven, so food cooked this way remains succulent and retains all its flavour. It is also quick and super-healthy, and it looks and smells amazing when you serve it too!

Cooking ‘En Papillote’

The trick is to make sure that your parcel is fully sealed, so that the steam and juices can’t escape. And this trick can at first seem tricksy, especially it you are using parchment rather than foil.

So here’s my 3 top tips for creating perfect parchment parcels:

Perfect Parchment Parcels

Take a generous rectangle of parchment paper, say 30cmx45cm (12”x18”) approx and place onto a baking sheet. If appropriate, spritz the sheet with olive oil or sunflower spray to prevent sticking.
Add your recipe ingredients to the middle of the parchement sheet, remembering that this dish creates a little dining theatre when served, so take a little extra care to make sure you layer up your ingredients prettily. Now is also time to season well as you can’t add seasoning whilst the dish cooks.
To seal each papillote, bring the parchment over the fish and vegetables, join together the long edges and fold over to seal. Double-fold each end and tuck under to make a sealed parcel. The parcel should not be too tight, as steam will puff it up in the oven, but the edges do need to be fully sealed to prevent steam/liquid escaping whilst cooking. Place the baking sheet in the oven and cook for according to the recipe.

Garlic & Herb Roasted Cod with Fennel En Papillote

To serve, place a papillote on a warm serving plate and allow each diner to enjoy opening their own papillote before eating - bon appétit!
You can find this particular recipe for Garlic & Herb Roasted Cod with Fennel En Papillote in my Two Day 5:2 Diet Plan Fast Diet Book Recipe Cookbook (see below).
Have you ever tried this method, what did you think?

3 Healthy Ways to Improve Your Mornings - Healthy Breakfast & Brunch

Low-Fat Walnut, Apple & Cinnamon Granola

During the week, breakfast can help provide a great foundation for a busy day ahead, whether at work or for children at school. Research which found people who ate breakfast tended to be more active during the remainder of the day in mostly light-intensity activity (American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, Apr 2014). Granola is a great choice for quick, easy weekday breakfasts and if you make your own you can make sure it is really healthy too, such as my Walnut, Apple & Cinnamon Granola. It's low-fat & low-cholesterol and packed full of heart-healthy ingredients such as oats, wholegrains and seeds but without any refined sugars. You can find this recipe and lots more healthy family breakfast ideas in my Easy Low Fat, Low Cholesterol Mediterranean Diet Cookbook.

Gluten-Free Tropical Fruit Breakfast
Salad with Warm Granola Sprinkle

If you follow a gluten-free diet, breakfast might seem to be one of the most challenging meals to find tasty, easy ideas that meet your wheat-free dietary requirements. Ready in only 15 minutes, this Tropical Fruit Breakfast Salad with Warm Granola Sprinkle is also Dairy-Free and suitable for Vegans. This is a fruit salad but not as you know it, the dressed spinach leaves add a savoury twist.

Gluten-free Chocoholics rejoice! You can enjoy all these decadent, indulgent and downright naughty (but oh-so-nice) chocolate recipes without the gluten (unfortunately, they do still have the calories).

Clockwise from top left: Gluten-free Chocolate Celebration Cake, Gluten-free Choc & Nut Choux Buns, Gluten-Free Hazelnut Crunch & Chocolate Cream Tartlets, Gluten-free Chocolate Raspberry Pavlova, Gluten-free Chocolate Chip Brioche, Gluten-free Brownie Bites

Gluten-Free Chocolate Ganache Cake

Did you know that Chocolate Cake is the most searched for cake recipe on Google? This Gluten-Free Chocolate Cake has a rich, whipped chocolate ganache filling and frosting, and Organic Chestnut Flour is one of my tips for making this the ultimate chocolate cake. It's great for any special occasion such as birthdays, anniversaries or (to be honest) just-because-I-need-a-chocolate-fix days!

Gluten Free Choc & Nut Choux Buns

It's claimed that if you can't eat gluten, then you've said good-bye to Choux Buns, Chocolate Éclairs and Profiteroles. Well, these light-as-air Choc & Nut Choux Buns put paid that particular fib. My Gluten Free Wheat Free Easy Baking, Bread & Meals cookbook (see below) includes two easy tips that enure absolutely perfectly puffed gluten-free choux pastry.

Gluten- free Hazelnut Crunch &
Chocolate Cream Tartlets

These Hazelnut Crunch & Chocolate Cream Tartlets combine a rich, delicious chocolate mousse with the nutty crunch of my Flour-Free Hazelnut Sweet Tart Crust - yum-licious! I always, always use organic, fairtrade chocolate and cocoa when cooking my recipes. Organic and fairtrade chocolate and cocoa is affordable even if you are on budget as it normally works out at just a few pence/cents more per portion and it makes such a difference to the farmers involved (more on Fairtrade here, opens new window).

Chocolate Raspberry Pavlova

Pavlova is always a crowd pleaser when entertaining and that's doubly-true when the Pav in question is chocolate, it's unlikely that you'll have any left-overs of this Gluten-free Chocolate Raspberry Pavlova.

Gluten-free Chocolate Chip Brioche

Oh-la-la, how very Parisian. What could be more lovely than golden, rich, buttery brioche? Well how about taking out the gluten and adding in chocolate chips? Mais Oui to Gluten-free Chocolate Chip Brioche!

Gluten-free Brownie Bites

Banana is the surprise ingredient (fairtrade, of course) in these intensely chocolatey, satisfyingly fudgey, these Gluten-free Brownie Bites which go perfectly with a cup of tea.

You can find all these gluten-free chocolate recipes in my cookbook Gluten Free Wheat Free Easy Baking, Bread & Meals. Available as a paperback from Amazon. It's also available as an ebook at Apple iBooks, Nook Books, Kobo and Amazon.

5:2 Diet Quick & Easy Creamy Roasted Pepper, Tomato & Caper Pasta 274 Cals

3 Top Tips for Single-Serving Diet Dinners Between 200 & 300 Calories

It’s not a good plan to be wandering the oh-so-tempting aisles of the supermarket on your fast diet days, nor to get home after a hard day in the office and be faced with “what should I cook tonight”? Sticking to 500/600 calories on two diet days per week is essential on this diet plan as it’s this which creates the weekly calorie deficit. Single-serving meals can be difficult at any time, but it’s even more so when you want something that is healthy, tasty and filling and only between 200 and 300 calories! Healthy cooking for one can seem like a lot of work and effort. However the key to success for fast-diet day dinners is to combine:

delicious foods that are naturally low in fat with
healthy cooking techniques and
portion control.

Following these principals, you will be able to enjoy fresh, flavoursome salads, super single serving vegetarian meals and delicious individual fabulous fish & chicken meals, like the Quick & Easy Creamy Roasted Pepper, Tomato & Caper Pasta (pictured top) at only 274 calories for a hearty and filling serving and ready in 30 minutes.

Yummy Diet Lunch For One - Spicy Chicken & Mango Quesadilla with tangy Yogurt Dip 214 Cals

Solo Skinny Lunches Around 200 Calories

If you do your two fast diet days during your working week, it’s very likely that convenience will be a major factor choosing your diet-day lunch, as well as also wanting to make healthy choices. This is not always as straight-forward as it seems, though. Even making supposedly healthy choices when buying lunch-on-the-go can be fraught with problems – for example, it is not unusual for shop-bought Chicken Sandwiches to actually contain almost 500 calories – that’s a woman’s fast diet day allowance all in one go!
However, with a little bit of planning, diet-day lunchtime doesn’t need to be about fraught purchases from the nearest shop or fast food outlet.
Lunch is a great opportunity to enjoy delicious, fresh, healthy, flavourful ingredients that help keep you filling full and satisfied until dinner. Toasties, wraps, pittas & quesadillas all naturally lend themselves to excellent choices for solo diet lunches, such as the low calorie, low fat Spicy Chicken & Mango Quesadilla with tangy Yogurt Dip (pictured top). Only 214 calories, this satisfying lunch will keep you feeling full until dinner time, even on your 5:2 diet days.

Healthy & Easy 5:2 Diet Recipes for One - Part Two: Breakfasts

Low Calorie Two-Day 5:2 Diet Breakfast Recipes - Creamy Tomatoes on Toast 106 cals

In Part Two of Healthy & Easy Cooking for One on the Two-Day 5:2 Diet, we'll take a look at Breakfast, often described as the most important meal of the day.

To Breakfast or not of the Two-Day 5:2 Diet?

If you think about the word Breakfast, there is a clue that lies within. It’s the meal with which you break-fast. When we wake up in the morning, breakfast can help provide a great foundation for a good day ahead. It can help us be more active during the day and keep us feeling full and much less likely to snack until lunch time. All of that remains the case, even on your two diet days per week.
However it is likely that on those days you will want to keep your breakfast to around the 100-calorie mark. Smoothies and fruits naturally lend themselves to quick and easy low calorie solo breakfast options, but with careful choices you can also enjoy a hot breakfast for 1 on your fast day, such as these tasty Creamy Tomatoes on Toast as only 106 calories!

Healthy cooking for one including preparing meals from scratch just for yourself may at first seem like a lot of work and effort. This is especially true when you are dieting, and perhaps even more so the Two-Day 5:2 Diet. How do you scale down a recipe so that it not only meets your low-calorie needs but is also suitable for just one serving? After all on your diet days the last thing you want to be left with, are left-overs to tempt you.

On the Two-Day 5:2 Diet Plan, the 2 diet days are much easier to stick to when you are able to enjoy healthy, tasty, single-serving diet recipes which are also simple and easy to prepare, and which leave you filling full and satisfied after eating. In fact, not only is it easy to stick to the 500 calorie limit (600 calories for men) as part of the diet plan, your 5:2 diet meals for one can also be exciting and delicious.

One of the ways to make cooking for one easier on the Two-Day 5:2 Diet Plan is to make sure your cupboards and fridge are well stocked with flavoursome but low calories seasonings and intense flavour boosters, such as a variety of:

Dried herbs and spices
Low calorie sauces such as Soy sauce or hot pepper sauce
Low calorie cooking oil sprays such as Frylight Olive Oil Spray
Low fat condiments including capers, gherkins (just remember to rinse thoroughly to remove excess salt).

Beware of "Hidden" Calories

Beware of "Hidden" Calories

However, remember to read the nutritional information labels before adding sauces, condiments and seasonings to your meals. Did you realise, for example, that:

1 tablespoon of the leading brand of tomato ketchup contains 18 calories
1 tablespoon of the leading brand of “lighter” mayonnaise contains 42 calories
Even 1 teaspoon of grated black pepper contains 6 calories!

Perfectly Portioned

noreply@blogger.com (Dips) — Sat, 07 Feb 2015 08:07:00 +0000

Portion control is a big part of achieving balance when it comes to healthy eating, and this is especially true when indulging in treats such as desserts, bakes and cakes. In the Western world over the last 50 years or so, we have become increasingly accustomed to larger and larger servings, much more than we actually need. Using some really simple tricks to control portion sizes means that you can have your cake and eat it - even when on a weight-loss or low-fat, low cholesterol diet!

Perfectly Portioned Brownie Bites

I am a big fan of cooking in containers that provide individual portions, such as mini cake pans or muffin tins and oven-proof ramekins. This make’s sure that a recipe is divided equally into the correct number of portions when served and it’s also a really fun and appealing way to present food. Everyone loves having their own cake or pudding! Take a look at these fudgey, gooey Not-So-Chunky Monkey Brownie Bites, made with real butter and 70% Dark Chocolate, yet are only 101 calories and 2.8g of saturated fat per portion!

A cake baked in a bundt tin can easily be cut into even-sized portions

However, sometimes the occasion calls for a whole cake that can be cut into, such as for birthdays or other celebrations. For these times, I either use a Bundt/Tube cake tin or a square cake tin. A square cake tin makes it much easier to cut a cake into even portion sizes. This is also true of a Bundt/Tube cake tin, with the added advantage that the hole in the middle considerably reduces the calorie value of a portion of cake. I personally find it simplicity itself to accurately divide a cake baked in a bundt tin into even-sized portions. Can you guess the secret ingredient in this zesty Orange Drizzle Cake? It's courgette/zucchini! A satisfying slice of this moist, delicious cake in only 200 Cals, 9.2g Total Fat, 1.2g Saturated Fat.

Low Fat Dessert Recipes With Pictures

You will find all these recipes and loads more Perfectly Portioned Inspiration in my Quick & Easy Low Calorie & Low Fat Desserts, Cakes & Bakes Diet Recipe Cookbook, which features over 40 Recipes all 200 Cals & under, including:

Warming & Comforting Hot Puddings
Divinely Delicious Dessert Ideas
Cute Cupcakes & More-ish Mini Bites
Simply Scrumptious Savoury Bakes & Breads
Tempting Sweet Treats and Cookies.

All the recipes are made from natural ingredients and do not use artificial sweeteners. With each recipe showing the per-serving value for calories, total fat and saturated fat, you will find them all in my Quick & Easy Low Calorie & Low Fat Desserts, Cakes & Bakes Diet Recipe Cookbook.

It's low in saturated fat and cholesterol, but full of flavour and completely satisfying.

London Particular Soup with Croutons

To start, serve London Particular Soup with Croutons. London Particular is gloriously named after the not-so-glorious thick fogs that enveloped England’s capital city in the 19th Century, which were called ‘Pea Soupers’. Traditionally made with the stock from a boiled bacon joint, this heart-healthy version uses reduced-salt vegetable stock instead but retains the bacon flavour with a delicious garnish of grilled bacon strips and linseed bread croutons. Per serving, this comforting soup is just 198 Calories, 3g of Total Fat and 1g Saturated Fat.

Slow Cooker Chile Blanco

As it's still very chilly in February, warm up your loved one with a hearty and heart-healthy bowl of Slow Cooker Chile Blanco, bursting with flavour. What's even more fab is that this aromatic dish cooks happily all by itself in your slow cooker, leaving you free to have fun with your Valentine! A gratifying portion of this chilli comes in at just 305 Calories, with 10g of Total Fat and only 3g Saturated Fat.

To finish, you must serve your honey a dessert and there's no need for share-sies with these delicious individual Honeyed Blueberry & Peach Cobblers containing only 243 Calories, 5g Total Fat and a mere 1g Saturated Fat.

So, a scrumptious, three-course Valentine's Day Meal for just 746 Calories, 18g Fat and only 5g of Saturated Fat per person.

What Does To Mince Mean In Cooking?

noreply@blogger.com (Dips) — Thu, 15 Jan 2015 17:55:00 +0000

What does 'to mince' mean in cooking?

The no 1 question that I am asked with regards to cooking instructions is "What does 'to mince' mean in cooking"? This term refers to finely chopping any ingredient but is most frequently used to describe how to finely chop garlic, onions and/or shallots and herbs for a recipe.

If you take a look at the photograph below, you will see that the shallot and garlic on the left are roughly chopped or diced, whereas the same ingredients on the right have been finely chopped or minced.

Roughly chopped vs finely minced shallot and garlic

4 Easy Steps to Mince Garlic, Onions, Shallots and Herbs

If you’re not a professional chef with excellent knife skills, how do you achieve this result? There are just 4 easy steps to go from your raw ingredient through to finely minced and ready for your recipe.

4 Easy Steps to mince garlic, onions, shallots and herbs

Step 1 – for onions, shallots and garlic, trim off the top and bottom, and remove the outer peel.
Step 2 – onions, shallots and garlic, cut in half lengthwise. With garlic cloves, also remove the inner sprout (called the germ) as this is bitter and not pleasant to eat.
Step 3 – keeping the vegetable half together, slice repeatedly down the length creating thin slices. For herbs, bunch them together to create a more solid mass, and slice thinly.
Step 4 – finally, slice across the vegetable in thin slices, creating very small dice. For the herbs, slice again across the herbs, keep slicing until the herbs are finely chopped.
