Paneer, single-handedly has to be one of the best vegetarian fat source in a ketogenic meal. It’s the kind of ingredient that can help you hit your fat, protein macros for a meal while keeping things low carb. Also, it’s the softest, tastiest cheese ever! If you haven’t tasted paneer […]

Spicy Fig, Strawberry and Feta Salad

The summer has ended Down Under and I am not just ready to let go of the season yet. Looks like the summer produce is not leaving either. My local fresh foods market had a beautiful stock of figs and strawberries. It was hard to give beautiful produce like that […]

Roasted Vegetable Salad with Herb Vinaigrette

While fresh, crisp salads are undoubtedly tasty, there is something about roasted vegetables in a salad that gets me all the time.

Crunchy salad with Spicy Herbed Breadcrumbs

This flavourful salad is a combination of fresh and juicy vegetables topped with spicy herbed breadcrumbs. It is an improvised version of the panzanella salad; stale bread or any bread along with tomatoes and other vegetables go into the making of the panzanella salad. Instead of using rustic bread varieties, […]
