Crawfish, Crayfish, Lobster or whatever you call it where you are is divine, don’t you think? Once you get past those claws! This recipe from Russ, The Domestic Man, includes rice as a thickener, if you are not into the rice you can use tapioca flour or coconut flour roux – mix the flour with some of the stock then add. Russ says to just cook it for 20 minutes if you do that. Enjoy cooking it up and if you like his recipes make sure you get his new cookbook, Paleo Takeout.

The Domestic Man

About this time last year, I posted a Blue Crab and Chipotle Tabasco Bisque that quickly because one of my most-cooked soups (and this is coming from a guy who cooks a lot of soup). I’ve been playing around with the formula a bit, to the point where I felt it was appropriate to post another one using shellfish (and that Shellfish Stock recipe from last week).

Quick reminder – I am giving away eight $25 Costco gift cards, and the giveaway ends on Thursday, so jump on it if you haven’t already.

And now for the big news: I found out that my cookbook, Paleo Takeout, made it onto the New York Timesbest seller list for July! How cool is that? Now I need to go through all of my social media profiles and add my new title to everything. I’m super excited and tremendously…

I’m definitely a fan of summer – a long hot day at the beach is more my style than the dark, dull, cold wet days of an Auckland winter. But one bonus of having to endure winter is that at this time of the year my little Meyer lemon tree comes up trumps. This year is pretty exceptional and the poor wee tree is so loaded with fruit some of its branches are bending and in danger of snapping right off!

What to do with lemons? Preserving and baking come to mind and I’ll leave Preserved Lemons for another post. So baking it is, something tangy with a hint of sweetness. A tasty treat to have with morning coffee or afternoon tea or eaten warm with whipped cream for dessert? So how about this then?

A moist Lemon, Honey and Ginger Loaf that is grain-free, gluten-free, LCHF not to mention primally inspired!

I am lucky enough to have an old grapefruit tree which faithfully produces fruit every winter. But something strange seems to happen as every two years it seems to go completely mad and is totally overloaded with fruit. It’s one of those years. So I need to find recipes to use up at least some of the delicious tangy fruit.

Going sugar free has meant I don’t make marmalade and even if I did, I generally don’t have gluten-free toast to spread it on. Fruit juice is out so I try and give away as much as I can, but there is still a lot that ends up in the compost bin, awful I know!

It was pretty awesome to find Swiss Paleo’s recipe – Roasted Salmon with Grapefruit Basil Sauce.
