I am listening to an interview given by Dax as I type and am struck by how similar our backgrounds are. I won't say more than that, but what I will say is that I must acknowledged all of the things I have already done to get myself from there to here.....and also the fact that food deprivation might have led to some of my attitudes towards food today. I have always said that that stuff lurking there in my youth has driven me.
Anyway, moving on (rapidly), I made two fantastic meals yesterday and am amazed at how quickly you learn to live without sucralose, flour etc.
We had a salad of harissa king prawns, avocados, spinach and pine nuts for lunch....very satisfying
For dinner I made Barbary duck breast (and I left the skin on!), butter beans, carrots and green beans on butter and lemon zest/herbs and even invented a summer fruit crumble from gluten free flour, a bit of butter and some frozen summer fruits which I served with a dollop of goat's yogurt. Did I need sweetener? No!! I am adjusting well....
My most triumphant ingredient however was the sauce I made to go with the duck.....I had to think hard. I got some berries (redcurrants, blackcurrants) and simmered them in a Saute pan and added the rind and juice of an orange, a teaspoon of black olive pate (gives a meaty richness) and reduced it down to a beautiful jus.....Feeling good
I do worry a bit about my cholesterol level.....I will consult Dax
Back later xxx
