“Fragrant, spicy, creamy… this Thai prawn curry was made using Thai yellow curry paste and coconut milk. I struggle to find Thai yellow curry paste in the stores here in the UK, so I buy it online. It’s authentic, delicious and affordable. I quickly cook the prawns before starting the curry, then add them back in later to warm through before serving. This prevents an unsightly grey soup and delays the sauce reducing. I learnt this from experience! The sauce is reduced until thick and creamy and then simply poured over konjac pasta. The plump prawns, sweet cherry tomatoes, salty fish sauce, spicy chilies, acidic lime and the fragrant coriander create perfect harmony. I also added a teaspoon of powdered erythritol to finish it off with some much-needed sweetness. Simply put – you need to eat this!” – Monya
“These crispy keto cheese nachos can be used to scoop up your favourite low carb dip, but I love them with my Guacamole. This recipe was based on using thinly rolled fathead dough where both sides are carefully crisped in the oven. Try this version, then play around changing up the cheese or herbs.” – Monya
“A quick and easy guacamole dip that you can scoop up with my Keto Nachos! Macros have been calculated on the guacamole alone, so its handy for you if you choose to use it in other ways.” – Monya
“Just because you have given up flour doesn’t mean you can’t crumb food anymore! I simply combined blitzed pork crackling with nutritional yeast flakes and fried as normal. Leaner crackling is preferred for this recipe, so I used Mr Porky’s Crispy Pork Strips (a UK product).” – Monya
“This is why you must try Cauliflower Rice! I added the cooked cauli-rice to the chicken roasting dish halfway through and it absorbs all that glorious smoked paprika flavour. This chicken and chorizo bake uses the Fats of Life Cauliflower Rice recipe, which you will notice only serves 4. You should therefore make 1 and 1/2 times to yield enough for 6 people (and this is also how the macros were calculated.)” – Monya
“This is a nifty way to mimic rice when you are serving a dish that needs sauces mopped up. I cooked down onions and garlic to add more flavour before adding and cooking the blitzed cauliflower. It’s high in fibre and filling. You can play around and pimp it using different freshly chopped herbs or flavoured oils, but this recipe below is a good ‘base’, so go wild. Be sure to also check out my Creamy Keto Cauliflower Mash.” – Monya
“Sweet, acidic, creamy! Whip this superstar out at your next dinner party, or simply freeze the slices like I often do. This keto lime cheesecake is just too delicious! UPDATE: I have taken this recipe off this blog because I worked very hard to bring you a new-and-improved version that now features in my cookbook Keto Kitchen.” – Monya
“I love Coconut-roasted Broccoli and doing the same thing with cauliflower is equally incredible! At only two-ingredients, this will likely be a favourite in your home. This recipe will serve 3 people as a side veg option on a keto diet, but Funnyman and I scoff the whole lot between the two of us quite often. He has both dishes waxed, so these are the nights I put my feet up and do nothing but watch him cook for ME for a change.” – Monya
“I love this dish! I baked baby onions in a thyme-infused cream and topped with a crumb made from blitzed lean pork scratchings (a UK product) and finely grated Parmesan. When I made this dish for us, we ended up eating them on top of our grilled pork chops. Lush! The peeling of the onions is a finicky job, but the results are worth it in the end. Be sure to keep the little root end intact to ensure the onions keep their shape, but use a small, sharp paring knife to trim it close enough that the entire onion is edible. And don’t jab yourself like I did doing that … #BloodFest2018″ – Monya
“This recipe is a fantastic example of how versatile my Keto Creamy Cauliflower Mash is! This is a simple, hearty and comforting fish pie and an ideal meal for the chilly evenings. I have seen many stores sell ready “fish pie” mixes (usually a mix of chopped white fish, salmon and smoked haddock) which is handy. However, I added prawns to my version to make it a wee bit fancier. This dish is just too lovely and I can’t wait for you to try it! Great with greens on the side, if desired.” – Monya
“Some may turn their nose up at mashing cauliflower to mimic The Great Potato, but you may just be converted. I didn’t just stop at using a potato masher, I added full-fat cream cheese and blitzed the mixture into a creamy puree. All it needed was a little seasoning and it’s perfect as a side dish. You could also use it like I did to top my Keto Seafood Bake and Spicy Keto Cottage Pie.” – Monya
“Another way to Funnyman’s heart. These low-carb buffalo wings are basted in a great keto marinade, similar to the one I make for Keto Ribs. They are delicious for lazy Saturday afternoons while he watches the rugby. Definitely made to be enjoyed with your hands: Get messy!” – Monya
“I want to start by saying I did not invent this ‘Cloud Bread’. I am sure there is a great story behind the concept, but I am ashamed to say I haven’t even researched what that story is – I simply wanted to give it a go myself and post my version of keto cloud bread. After a slightly failed first attempt (at trying other versions I saw online), I made it my mission to improve what I had seen drawing from my own experience in the kitchen. The recipe will make 6, but essentially this means 6 halves (in other words – 3 sandwiches / 3 burgers). If you want more, double the recipe and use a second tray when cooking. I must admit, it’s not my favourite ‘bread’ option, but worth a shot anyway as it may be yours. (Be sure to also check out the Breads section on this site for my other creations). These will keep well in the fridge for up to 2/3 days.” – Monya
“These baked brie mushrooms can be served either as an appetiser, or enjoyed as a light meal with a salad. The red onions are cooked down on a very low heat, and their sweetness balances the oozy Brie just perfectly. The general marrying of the two flavours are worth knowing, even for those that don’t like mushrooms. And, for those that LOVE the idea of a big, black mushroom – do this exact dish and top your bun-less burger with it. You will never consider a bacon and Cheddar topping again!” – Monya
“When making little berry meringue baskets for guests, I always whip up sugar-free version for Funnyman and I. While ours aren’t snow-white like the store-bought versions my guests receive, they are still damn tasty. If you prefer to make a mess of this (I mean, to literally make a Berry Mess), simply use the Mini Meringues recipe and mix it all together just before serving… (as opposed to making a pretentious, deconstructed version like I have done here by piping them into baskets…)” – Monya
