I love pancakes, but very rarely do I find a cafe in Sydney that doesn’t smother them in syrup, or bacon, or both. So of course, I made my own – gluten and sugar free, of course. What better combination than the sweetness of fresh strawberries against earthy chocolate to start the day?
Thats right…I eat chocolate for breakfast.

Quinoa (pronounced keen-wah) is member of the seed family. I mispronounced this for several years before being corrected and turning to Google for definitive advice. Regardless of what you call it, its wonderfully healthy and versatile. Not only is it a complete protein – making it fantastic for vegetarians – but this superfood is also rich in iron, magnesium and dietary fiber. Tasty and just a little bit sweet, this recipe will leave you with enough for a quick and delicious cold lunch during the working week.
I’m not going to lie, I miss pizza. But anyone on a low-carb diet knows those white-flour cheesy slices are a no-go. This dish uses Portobello mushrooms as a base and can be thrown together with whatever remaining veg you have in the fridge. An excellent way of incorporating more veggies into your diet, this dish also satisfies pizza cravings.
Sorry Dominos, you’ll just have to wait…
