It’s been a great two years of cooking, eating and blogging. So to celebrate I must go back to my first post, the one that started this collection of paleo/primally inspired, sometimes LCHF recipes. Pizza made with cauliflower crust, bacon, cheese and sour cream. What’s not to like about this?

For anyone who has not tried using a cauliflower crust as a pizza base, you are in for a taste sensation…

There are many blogs using a cauliflower crust for their pizzas, but I particularly like the one from The Iron You which I have adapted here. Inspiration for the topping came from restaurants 6,500 miles apart; GPK in Auckland, New Zealand and Jupiter’s Pizza in Berkeley, CA, USA. Both places used sliced potato, so the Primal clean-up was simply to use the more nutrient dense sweet potato. I encourage you to experiment with your favourite toppings.

My first taste of Lobster Bisque was at Quincy’s Market in Boston. A little seafood chowder stall that served it up in a sourdough bread bowl. What was notables about this experience was that it was my first visit to Boston, all the way from Auckland New Zealand.
From the first mouthful I fell in love with the creamy, slightly spicy taste. So big thanks to Cooking without Limits!

Cooking Without Limits

Only in recent years have I come to appreciate the sublime joys of seafood. Being born in the middle of land, far away from sea, it is very difficult to have fresh seafood. After working and traveling around the world and coming in contact with seafood recipes, I discovered another amazing food experience. Lobster is expensive to order in a restaurant and lacking in the nourishing qualities of more sturdy seafood fare, but you live only once and consuming lobster once or twice a year is a must if you love it.

Bisque is a French soup very smooth, creamy and highly seasoned , classically based on a strained broth of crustaceans. Is a method of extracting flavor from imperfect crustaceans not good enough to send to market. In an authentic bisque, the shells are ground to a fine paste and added to thicken the soup.

Dinner for one!!

When you are used to cooking for a crowd or even for two, and then you have time on your own, it can become a big chore to cook for yourself. I know I made a lot of excuses on my way home thinking to myself perhaps I could have a bit of salad, or something like a quick omelette.

But I knew that I had boneless chicken thighs in the fridge and they really did need to be cooked. So I pulled it all out of the fridge and started slicing.

Well, what I didn’t realise was that cooking up this little feast for one was just as quick as making an omelette (or nearly). It was around 25 minutes from getting everything out of the fridge and getting it onto the table and in my tum!
