Welcome to my crazy world of real food cooking ...

Eat Food. Not too much. Mostly Plants. -- Michael Pollan

I wish I could take credit for that because I think it sums up how we should eat. Simply -- eat stuff that really is food, instead of stuff that is food like substance. The supermarket is almost entirely food-like-substances, and, my friends, you should probably never ever eat them.

Fortunately, there is a world of deliciousness out there, and it can all be had in a way that not only doesn't harm your health, but in a way that benefits you hugely.

I think it's important to eat stuff that satisfies you, that keeps your blood sugar stable, and that gives you stuff your body really needs to run optimally.

But baby, it's gotta taste good.

I really like getting experimental in the kitchen. I love cooking, I love layering flavours, and I love coming up with really super yummy food. I have very strong opinions about what constitutes food, and there are a lot of things I won't touch in the kitchen. Bottom line? Pretty much everything I make is ridiculously good for you even if it tastes decadent. Although there are occasional big fat cheats ... but even those stick to real food, my friends.

For food that is usual gluten free, usually free of cane sugar, usually super low on the glycemic index, full of protein, fiber, flavour, and excellent energy, join me and Alice down the rabbit hole.

Every recipe on this blog is my own original effort and idea, so please pass 'em on, giving credit where credit is due.

Many thanks, and come back often. I'm really glad you are here!

egg and mushroom tarts




King mushrooms are a revelation. They are so full of deliciousness that I can't even begin to tell you about it. Words do not do them justice. Put that with sauteed onion in these little tarts of eggy goodness and you have a hit. Simple, delicious, elegant, and out of the ordinary.


ingredients:


260 g baby king mushrooms, finely chopped
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp chili powder

9 eggs
1 cup almond flour


directions:

1. saute the chopped mushrooms and onion in coconut oil with the sea salt and chili powder
2. when fully cooked, allow the concoction to cool
3. beat the eggs and add in the almond flour, and then beat thoroughly together
4. divide the mixture into 24 silicone muffin cups (grease 'em first)
5. cook at 345 for 25 minutes, or until they are firm
