Thanks for this Cherrypie - haven't watched any of the programmes yet, but this does look very nice - I might try the tuna nicoise wraps soon.🙂

Hi

This is one of the best food series ever, real people - real food

I've just had the Korma from episode 3 - fantastic 🙂

What was better was that the whole family was in the kitchen cooking together

Trying the low fat minced beef and potato pies tomorrow - may do some with only the crust to lower the carbs more 🙂, then lots of veg to feel really virtuous 😉

Tempted to try the sweet and sour recipe but think the brown sugar makes it a no no for a Type 2. Going to give the lasagne a whirl on Saturday.

I have had a look on site & like the look of "Beachside Paella". Will try Love the prog & good 4u !! 😎

It's a pity that they only give calorie counts per serving not full nutritional info inc carbs, but we have the technology🙂. I worked out their lemon buns are 28.5g carb each which is quite high but surprisingly the paella worked out very reasonably. I didn't exactly work it out but the only substantial carbs are in the rice which works out just under 10g per portion.

It's fair to say that, in line with most weight loss regimes, they are far more concerned with fat content than sugar. I haven't paid too much attention to the cakes/desserts section of the book and where they have introduced caster sugar to their other recipes, I've simply left it out.
Wouldn't it be nice if they could write a book for type 2's!

Completely agree.. but whenever anyone has done they have followed the mantra of carbs with every meal. Sigh!
