COCONUT BERRIES

COCONUT BERRIES

This is a delicious, light dessert – perfect for summer when so many berries are in season. Obviously the coconut milk does have a high fat content, so use sparingly if you are trying to keep the weight off or save this up for the weekend. You could also try this with…

APPLE PIE

APPLE PIE

I try to avoid desserts as a rule, but of course there are always those days when one savoury course just isn’t enough and what you really want is something sweet. This apple pie is still Paleo and will hopefully hit the spot. 442 CALORIES | 21G FAT | 1.7G SATURATES |…

FILLET STEAK WITH CARAMELISED ONIONS

FILLET STEAK WITH CARAMELISED ONIONS

A good fillet steak should be so tender you can cut it with a fork. It’s often a very expensive choice on a restaurant menu and so it’s much better to make it at home. I recommend you source it from your local butcher and don’t overcook it, and also don’t forget to…

SIRLOIN STEAK

SIRLOIN STEAK

Sirloin is a lovely cut of meat as it has just the right amount of fat to keep it lovely and tender while it cooks, and this is simply the best way to cook it. I recommend you use a barbecue with a lid or a large, smoking-hot griddle pan. 927 CALORIES | 36G FAT | 14G…
