Low Calorie Leek and Potato Soup

Diet Leek and Potato Soup Recipe – comfort food from my childhood: Every weekend that I am in London I wander over to the Farmers’ Market at Oval.  My first stop is always the same.  I go to the first farm stall to buy chicken carcasses – 4 for a pound.  I boil them up […]

Overdone it at Christmas and New Year?

Overdone it at Christmas and New Year?

Healthy Soups for the New Year: It’s the 1st of January; I had a lovely Christmas with family and friends and brought in the New Year with some style (luckily not captured on camera!). Like many of us I suspect, I’m now dreading stepping on the scales and facing the damage! One way that I […]

Truffled Cream of Mushroom and Cauliflower Soup

December 29, 2014 by Fiona Maclean 12 Comments

Truffled Cream of Mushroom and Cauliflower Soup

A 5:2 Diet Staple and Cream of Mushroom Soup Recipe: Some time ago I tried making cauliflower cream.  The idea is to create something that has all the consistency of cream but none of the fat content or calories.  Or at least, FAR fewer calories. Blitzing an entire cauliflower actually makes rather too much for […]

Low Calorie Butternut Squash and Sweet Potato Soup

September 12, 2014 by Fiona Maclean 26 Comments

Low Calorie Butternut Squash and Sweet Potato Soup

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 […]

Celeriac and Cucumber Soup – Testing the Froothie

Celeriac and Cucumber Soup – Testing the Froothie

Celeriac and Cucumber – Raw Soup for Health: I tend to avoid smoothies.  It’s partly that I like my fruit with ‘bite’ and partly that I have a few food allergies and a few dietary guidelines which are specific to hypothyroidism.  One of the guidelines for anyone who is hypothyroid is to avoid uncooked or […]

Another 5:2 Diet Fast Day –  Another Soup Recipe

Celeriac and Sweet Potato Soup – a 5:2 Diet recipe: You know, I keep promising I won’t make more 5:2 diet recipe soups.  And then, I try to work out what I want to eat on my 5:2 diet fast days – and I keep coming back to soup.  Luckily there are an infinite number […]

A 5:2 Diet Recipe To Fill You Up – Spinach and Lentil Soup

Healthy, Filling 5:2 Diet Recipe – Spinach and Lentil Soup: Yes I know I keep making soup for the 5:2 diet.  Particularly in winter I find that a generous bowl of home made low calorie soup is one of the best ways to manage a 5:2 diet fast day.  And, I’ve learnt a new trick […]

Winter Warmer Vegetable Soup Recipe

Simon’s Winter Warmer – Hearty Vegetable Soup: A large hamper of Unilever Kitchen products arrived at my door, full of household names that I didn’t know were part of the Unilever family.  The collection included many stalwarts of Britishness – PG Tips tea, Bovril, Coleman’s Mustard, Hellman’s etc., as well as a good mix of […]

November 3, 2013 by Fiona Maclean 11 Comments

Winter 5:2 Diet Recipe – Sweet Potato and Carrot Soup

Sweet Potato and Carrot Soup – a 5:2 Diet Recipe for Winter: I love cooking but I have to admit sometimes I struggle cooking for just myself, though on a 5:2 diet fast day it seems to give me some comfort and obviously distracts me. While my fellow 5:2 dieters bemoan having to cook for […]

The Butternut Squash Soup Challenge – a 5:2 Diet Recipe

Roasted Butternut Squash Soup – an Easy 5:2 Diet Recipe: I’m back in the kitchen and cooking again, after what seems like an eternity of travel and meals out. Needless to say I am back on a 5:2 diet fast day so cooking up a new 5:2 diet recipe – although bizarrely I actually managed […]

  • April 12th  - National Grilled Cheese Sandwich Day

    The USA celebrates National Grilled Cheese Sandwich Day on April 12th.   Well, why not?   Regarded as one of the top comfort foods in America, the version we eat today originated in the 1920s when sliced bread and American cheese became easily available.  

    image

    Of course, those of you from the USA and those of you wishing to join the celebrations can do so in London!  Head for the glamorous art-deco inspired Colony Grill at the Beaumont Hotel and you’ll find the menu offers a Grilled Cheese sandwich with Dill Pickle, perfect for National Grilled Cheese Sandwich Day.  While you are there, enjoy a cocktail or three - and perhaps a couple of other American classics - we love the Buttermilk Fried Chicken and perhaps Bananas Foster flambeed in dark rum for dessert. 

    Enjoy!
