It is with huge excitement that I can share the news that I am now an official author. My book “The Low Carb Diabetes Cookbook“, published by Penguin Random House has launched today (1st November 2018). It feels like a long time coming, but it…
Hello, welcome and thank you for clicking on to my blog, The Low Carb Kitchen. Originally I started this blog back in 2014 as Paleo With Mrs P, but after 6 years, 2 babies and a book deal, I have decided to change the name,…
