Keto friendly chocolate sponge pudding
Look, America, you are responsible for lots of good stuff. But your understanding of “pudding” is desperately bad. It’s not just yellow flavour or brown flavour. It’s so much more. And here’s an example. It’s rich, decadent, chocolatey goodness. It’s keto friendly, so low carb. And it’s … well, it’s brown. Shut up! 6oz /…

Cheese pie
What kind of filling should you put into your lovely keto friendly pie crust? A keto frendly filling, such as cheese pie.

Jam roly poly recipe
A new word for a lot of Americans will be “stodge”. It’s a word with many negative connotations, but in the case of Jam Roly Poly that’s what it’s supposed to be – a stodgy comfort food designed to deliver calories straight to your waistline. Enjoy! 300g / 10.5oz / 2 cups AP flour or…

Gluten Free cake or pudding flour
One of the interesting aspects of cooking gluten free is that you don’t have the convenience of only using a couple of flours. You need to use different blends depending on what you’re doing.
