Spicy Summer Slaw
Thanks to the unpredictable contents of my Riverford box, I’m always looking for new ways to combine vegetable in a healthy and delicious way. This was yesterday’s experiment which really tickled my tastebuds in a way that made it an instant share.
Spicy Mexican Bean and Green Salad
Although this recipe is a little higher in carbs than I normally include (containing roughly 10g carbs per 100g) a small portion (c.150g) in an otherwise low carb meal should not threaten ketosis once you are keto-adapted.

Bone broth: slow food, fast food
As summer draws to a close, I’m getting back into my Monday fasting routine. I find it’s a great way to start the week because:

- It supports healing & repair (especially in the gut) and encourages breakdown of damaged cells.
- It feels great.

Vietnamese Chicken Salad
This, for me, is the most delicious and moreish salad I have ever tasted. Slightly fiddly the first time you make it, it soon becomes second nature and easy to whip up in a flash. You won’t regret trying this recipe, I guarantee! Continue reading
