Well, I guess I should start by introducing us-I'm Penny and my sous chef is my husband James (aka Jamo). We are your average(ish) married couple living and working in London; he's in finance, I am, not (unless investing in shoes counts...). Anyway! Yes, average couple. Apart from the fact that one of us has had a heart event and the other one of us nearly had one after hearing the news..and neither of us is 40 (yet!).
Let's all just digest that for a moment...
And so, after being told he needs to reduce carbs and fat in his diet I refused to let anything but exciting and enticing food appear on our table. We have fully embraced the low carb/low fat diet (...with the cheeky fillet or burger every couple of months because...well, he's South African and we're both only human!)
Our families have been amazing during the adjustment period and are always keens to hear what interesting recipes we've engineered.
Alot of the recipes are a mish-mash combination of recipes from my mum and anything I can find online or in cookbooks. I try and tailor it to our flavours (warning: they can be quite spicy!
Why share the recipes? Easy: I found amazing cooks shared stuff online day 1 'after the event' when I thought we'd be living on chicken soup for the rest of our lives!
Our turn to share back incase anyone struggling and needs some inspiration.
I should probably add, that he's fully recovered and is back playing golf and running.
