Seared Scallops for 5:2 Diet

August 11, 2012 by Fiona Maclean 20 Comments

seared scallops

5:2 Diet Recipe Seared Scallops with Chilli Lime Butter Along with a number of other food bloggers I was rather taken by the 5:2 diet as described on a recent Horizon programme where Michael Mosley highlighted some research that suggested that by having two days a week of ‘semi fasting’ you could not only lose […]

Greek Yoghurt Stuffed Sea Bream and the 5:2 Diet

September 10, 2018 by Fiona Maclean 109 Comments

Total Greek Sea Bream - served

A Greek Recipe for the 5:2 Diet and some Hellenic Memories: My first visit to Greece was a shock. I was on a Schools Cruise – in the 1970s some of the cruise liners used to rent out space in the bows of the ship to school groups. We flew from London to Athens into […]

Healthy Asian Glazed Grilled Tuna for the 5:2 Diet:

August 2, 2014 by Fiona Maclean 14 Comments

Tuna in a mirin, soy and yuzu glaze

Glazed Tuna Steak – Healthy 5:2 Diet Recipe: A few weeks ago I was sent a little bottle of  Yutaka Yuzu to try.  For those who don’t know, Yuzu is a citrus fruit – related to lime – that is used a lot in Japanese cookery, often in the form of Ponzu – a soy […]

Cooking with Quorn – Meat Free Tarragon Chicken

January 23, 2015 by Fiona Maclean 16 Comments

Quorn in Tarragon Cream_edited-1

One Pot Tarragon ‘Meat-Free’ Chicken: Quorn is a healthy substitute for meat.  In addition to preprepared replacements for a whole range of dishes including sausages, chicken escalopes, steak pies, burgers and chilli, there are also packets of quorn ‘meat’ which you can use as a substitute for beef or chicken in a range of dishes. […]

Healthy Moroccan Style Sausage Casserole

December 30, 2015 by Fiona Maclean 14 Comments

Moroccan style sausage casserole cooked

Low-Calorie Moroccan Style Sausage Casserole with Heck Chicken Sausages: I haven’t given up cooking, though at times it may seem that all I am doing is eating out.  I have a store of healthy and tasty recipes that I’ve been working on over the last few months just waiting for Christmas to be over.  If […]

Two Steps Forward, One Back – 5:2 Diet Again – Cod with Shrimps

July 13, 2014 by Fiona Maclean 12 Comments

Cod-with-brown-shrimp-and-summer-veg-medley-5-2-diet-recipe

Back on the 5:2 Diet – Summer Cod with Shrimps and a Vegetable Medley: Having hit my target weight at the end of 2013 with the 5:2 diet, I’ve lapsed. This year so far I’ve been to Puglia (lots of fabulous buratta – literally buttered  cheese and pasta), to Costa Barcelona (sounds healthy till you […]

Sugar-Free Afternoon Tea – Harvey Nichols – Review

July 2, 2017 by Fiona Maclean 1 Comment

Sugar Free Afternoon Tea - Sweets

A Paradox in the Kitchen – Sugar-Free Afternoon Tea: Bundling up to the Fifth Floor Cafe at Harvey Nichols, Knightsbridge, I was somewhat apprehensive.  Afternoon Tea involves cakes in my book.  And cakes involve chocolate, cream and lots of sweet and sugary treats.  But I was also a little intrigued so I checked out the […]

Healthy Burgers? 5:2 Diet and Healthy Portobello Mushroom Burger

July 20, 2014 by Fiona Maclean 26 Comments

portobello mushroom burger ready to eat

Healthy Portobello Mushroom Burger: OK, I fibbed just a bit.  You probably wouldn’t quite have your mushroom burger like this on a 5:2 diet fast day. The bread roll adds a whopping 150 calories and to me, that’s a bit of a waste of calories as it won’t help fill you up for long.  But, […]

Low Calorie Butternut Squash and Sweet Potato Soup

September 12, 2014 by Fiona Maclean 25 Comments

Butternut Squash and Sweet potato soup with Coriander

Diet Soup Recipe – Butternut Squash and Sweet Potato: It is definitely soup season again.  Any regular reader may have noticed that I am not the most patient of cooks.  While I prefer to cook from scratch, I am quite prepared to take shortcuts.  And, although I would always recommend buying your vegetables ‘whole’, sometimes […]

A More Mindful Diet with the Mindful Chef

September 12, 2017 by Fiona Maclean 8 Comments

Lemongrass Trout 2

Lemongrass trout with coconut lime rice recipe: As a keen cook who lives by herself, I never really considered recipe boxes.  But, as it happens, The Mindful Chef does have recipe boxes for one.  I believe they are the only recipe box company that offers boxes for a single person – so, I was able […]
