Recently the folk at Tenderstem® contacted me to invite me to create a delicious low carb (and dairy free, gluten-free, grain free- phew!) recipe incorporating the delicious Tenderstem®. For those of you that don’t know, Tenderstem® is broccoli’s taller and skinnier daughter. You’ve probably, like me, been using for…

Tomorrow we are going to be welcoming in a brand new year The indulgence of Christmas comes to a short sharp halt and every one you speak to will be doing dry-January or cutting the carbs. Gyms will be busier than ever and you will undoubtedly…
