Calamari and Courgetti Bowl with Chilli & Garlic Keto

“This calamari and courgetti bowl is a quick and easy stir-fry using squid rings and spiralised, roughly chopped courgetti. Plus, all the favourite Asian-inspired flavours to bring the bowl to life! Lovely eaten warm or chilled (meaning you could take this to work with you). Enjoy!” – Monya

Curry Prawn Salad (Keto)

Curry Prawn Salad Keto

“What a deliciously interesting salad! I added curry powder and a squeeze of lime juice to regular mayonnaise and mixed in cooked prawns. Served over a simple bed of salad leaves, this filling meal needs nothing else other than chopped coriander and some seasoning. Simple and yummy!” – Monya

Cuppa Creamy Tomato Soup

Cream of Tomato Cup of Soup

“Nostalgia is a strange thing and it was only my time spent at the Fat Duck that really made me appreciate the link between nostalgia and food. Although I live in UK now, I am from Cape Town and grew up in Johannesburg. Winters were bitterly cold in Joeys, and there was no such thing as central heating to help you through those months. Soups were standard and my favourite one was a creamy tomato soup my mother made (from a packet!). I attempted a homemade one the other day and was delighted with the outcome. Its a hefty 9.8g carbs per cup, but worth it since its so filling and moreish. I used the gluten-free Knorr chicken stock pots, but you can use your own homemade chicken broth for an even cleaner soup.” – Monya

Steak Tagliata (Keto)

Steak Tagliata Keto

“This is a great idea for you to bookmark if you are cooking for one and can’t be bothered with an accompanying sauce. After frying the steak to perfection (I hope your perfection is the same as my perfection: medium-rare) and leaving it to rest, I simply deglazed the pan with lemon juice and used the zingy rendered juices from the pan (after cooling a little) and tossed it with wild rocket (arugula). The steak Tagliata only requires a generous scattering of salt flakes and finely shaved Parmesan. If you have a microplane, finely grate a little lemon zest into the salad too. Winner winner singleton’s dinner!” – Monya
