Now, in a highly creative mood I experiment with a three-potato salad - amadumbe, potatoes and sweet potatoes with homemade mayonnaise, boiled eggs and grated onion. A slight variation to the original combination, which works well and adds interest to every mouthful.
Read MoreA Bar One cake is more than a chocolate cake. It oozes “Bar One” in every mouthful and exudes decadence as well as deliciously over-the-top richness which promise to meet the most avid chocoholic’s craving.
Read MoreTry my low-fat All Bran banana-bread recipe. It is deliciously healthy and extremely moist with a dense banana texture. In recipes with eggs, I suggest an egg substitute or substitute with mashed bananas and a ¼ teaspoon of baking powder. Tofu is a satisfactory alternative in baked dishes such as quiches and brownies. Remember each egg in a recipe can be successfully substituted with one tablespoon of corn flour mixed with 3 tablespoons of water. Take small steps when adopting this new method - you want it to be sustainable. I suggest you start by halving the amount of butter and eggs. At least that’s a step in the right direction.

Read MoreI seldom prepare a main meal at home because I prefer eating a selection of starter-like salads hence my columns often include many different tasty servings rather than one main dish. This leads me to one of my favourite main-dish selections: Balsamic-cured mature beef fillet with hand-whisked mayonnaise, bright green avocados, fresh herbs and char-grilled red peppers. I suggest a serving of hot, hand-sliced chips to soak up any leftover mayonnaise and/or balsamic vinegar. Too good to waste!
