Bacon. Cheese. Two of my very, very best foods. Here I combined them into one utterly delicious ribbon.
One day when I was frying nice fatty rashers of streaky bacon, I thought how great it would be to have some melted cheese with the bacon. And voilà! a new recipe was born.

I developed this savoury microwave muffin a few years ago for low carb followers like me who sometimes crave bread. It still remains one of my all-time favourite recipes. Super-quick, super-easy and super-filling. Ideal low carb fuel for a lunch box.
Just mix the batter with a fork, pour into a coffee mug and pop into the microwave oven. Best enjoyed while still warm with thick butter and a large, fresh green garden salad.
It freezes very well, too. Just thaw and reheat in the microwave oven.
There is also a dairy-free version (see “Tip” below the recipe).

If you are a low carber, you’ll definitely know cauliflower rice or cauliflower couscous. Chop raw cauliflower florets in a food processor until it looks like rice or couscous. Or grate it by hand.

I find cabbage to be one of the best-value-for-money veggies. And I love it raw or cooked.
This is one of the simplest low carb (and dairy-free) recipes I have ever developed. Real food where you can taste every ingredient individually. But there is a secret. It is not an ordinary stir-fry. It is partly cooked and partly raw. I add half of the cabbage and a handful of crunchy celery at the end without cooking it. Make it, taste it and decide for yourself!
