Gordon Ramsay's Stuffed Roasted Chicken

I know I haven't been posting for the past week or so but I will make it up with this delicious festive recipe. I wrote it down while watching Ramsay's ultimate cookery course and tried it a few days later for my partner's birthday and I can assure you it was fantastic.

Curried Lentils and Red Quinoa

Everyone who knows me is aware that I am not a big fan of indian food, especially curries. I did try a few but they just aren't my thing. But as every rule has it's exception the only indian food I enjoy is the modern indian cuisine at The Cinnamon Club as they don't do the same old sloppy curries. Anyway long story short I got inspired by their approach and cooked a lentils and quinoa curry today and really enjoyed it.

Stuffed Chicken Breast Wrapped in Prosciutto

Caviar stuffed eggs

Easy to make, ready in minutes and it doesn't even have to be very expensive. Even thought I love some good caviar on artisan crackers you can't have that very often (and we all know why :) ) so this lumpfish caviar is the perfect alternative.

Steamed Clams

Diet Creme Brûlée

Creme Brûlée must be one of the easiest desserts ever ... for me at least.

Lemon Pie

After seeing a key lime pie on the Food Network Uk I got inspired in making a low carb lemon pie, and since I had some really nice Sorento lemons and all the ingredients in the cupboards this recipe couldn't get any easier.

Black Peppered Tofu

I came across to this recipe last year on my birthday while dinning at Ottolenghi's  NOPI and like all their vegetarian menu was fantastic. So browsing thru his Plenty book I found the recipe and decided to make it as it's Vegan Sunday :).
I did change a few of the ingredients and if you want to check the original recipe you can find it in the book at page 44.

Stuffed Courgettes

Easy to make for those lunches when you are out of ideas.

Apricot Bavarois with its Coulis

I got this recipe from The Montignac Diet Cookbook (p. 326) which I bought a few months ago and even thought I promised I will try all the recipes ... I didn't :) . Is never too late so I made this refreshing no bake apricot bavarois.

Basil Infused Tuna Salad

Colourful, quick and easy salad.

Baked Apples

Today while running from the gym to the supermarket to get the ingredients for lunch I happen to see these beautiful pink lady apples and instantly remembered this fab baked apple recipe that I used to enjoy  in my childhood. Even thought I had to adjust the recipe, the result was delicious.

Home Made Vegan Ice cream Fluff

This recipe is perfect when you crave ice cream and you want it fast. And what makes this even better ... it is a low carb guilt free dessert.

Pan Seared Baby Scallops with Creamed Spinach

It requires about 10 minutes of your time and makes a delicious effortless meal.

Cauliflower "fried rice"

Perfect as a light healthy vegan meal to replace white rice which has a high carb content.

Malidzano ( Macedonian aubergine spread )

Im a big fan of aubergine spread I like them all, from the one with mayonnaise that my mom use to make to the simple aubergine puree mixed with olive oil that my friend Andy use to make till my latest "crush" baba ghanoush. While I was browsing for new ways to eat my aubergine spread I found variations of this simple Macedonian dip.

Cabbage and Pork Filet Stew

I don't really have a fancy name for this recipe is just a simple family dish my mom use to make when I was home. I used outdoor bred pork tenderloin fillet with no fatty part but if you don't like pork you can do it with duck or goose breast.

Delicious Berry Panna Cotta

Delicious and easy to make mixed berry panna cotta recipe for those "not in the mood " rainy days. I started my morning trying to bake french macarons ( the healthy low carb version ofc ) but they weren't very pretty :) so by the time I got back from the gym I lost my motivation in trying again but instead I ended up making panna cotta some of the ingredients being the left overs from the No Bake Summer Cake .

The result was incredibly tasty, creamy and most of all sugar free :) 

Sweet and Crunchy Carrot Salad

A great refreshing salad , sweet and sour with a crunchy bite perfect for summer days. I served mine with grilled salmon but you can have it as a side dish to any fish or white meat.

Avocado and Pear salad with Macadamia Nuts

Extremely easy to make and very fresh I had it as part of a " meatless banquet ".
