Cooking Keto
All my recipes will be made from whole food, no sugar and use only healthy mono-saturated and saturated fats. I have cooked my entire life and love creating things that people can enjoy. My cooking skills have adapted for my new keto diet, and in general food tastes even better as you can load up on tasty fats and protein . I try to stick to a 75% fat 20% Protein and 5% carb ratio so they are perfect for your keto diet. I hope that you enjoy them as much as me and my family do.
Adapting to Keto
The most obvious thing about being on a keto, paleo or low carb diet is you need to remove carbohydrates from your life. It really is not that easy because what I found that I miss the most is rice or pasta to soak up all the tasty sauces.
Vegetable spaghetti
The first thing I did was buy a spiralizer to make vegetable spaghetti from courgettes. This is great for rich tasty Italian sauces and Asian stir fry dishes alike.
Cauliflower rice
The other thing I did was learn to make cauliflower rice, this is a great substitute for the real thing and I really don't miss the original stuff. The simplest way to make the rice is to blend some cauliflower in a blender until it breaks down into tiny grains, that can then be steamed. I add serrated coconut to the dish as this helps fluff up and add texture to the vegetable. My family are not keen on the slight odour of this new low carb rice so I have slightly adapted it to get rid of the presence of this.
I will soon post a video of how this is done for you to follow.
Ingredients
1 whole cauliflower (approx 700g)
5 tbsp of single cream
60 grams serrated coconut
Pinch of salt to taste

Ingredients
1 whole cauliflower (approx 700g)
5 tbsp of single cream
60 grams serrated coconut
Pinch of salt to taste
Method
- Wash and clean cauliflower then place in blender until completely broken down into smaller grains no bigger than the size of a grain of rice.
- Steam until cooked (approx 10min) and then rinse with cold water (this will help remove trace of cauliflower taste)
- Steam again for another 5 min, rinse again with cold water.
- Warm up again in steamer
- Place in serving bowl and serrated coconut and cream, season with salt and serve with your favourite dish!
Tip! If you prefer you can microwave the cauliflower with a few drops of water in a seal able microwavable container. Make sure your container is designed to steam veg or it could explode:)
Cook cauliflower at each stage for 8 min, 4 min and 2 min respectively. Way less mess guys
