We made it before we used CMT so Mrs P is searching the highways and byways for the recipe. I have noticed that the LC/Keto/Gluten free tribes are almost religious in their attachment to one or other type of flour - quite hilarious really.Hi Ian could you share how you or your OH uses coconut flour for pastry please? Coconut flour is a bit odd as it absorbs loads of liquid so wondering how much you add and what type of liquid? Would love to know.
Thank you no worries if she can’t find it only if it’s to handWe made it before we used CMT so Mrs P is searching the highways and byways for the recipe.

@jayney27 Hi thanks i'm fine it was just a bad day i shouldn't have posted that.I think i was becoming obsessed with all the finger pricking so decided to cut back on some of it. Feel a lot better about that decision. Thanks for the concern.I hope you feel more positive soon. I think we need time to adjust to lots of things that this condition/diagnoses brings. I know I felt like I needed to grieve for my carefree former lifestyle, it was the first time I had needed to see a doctor and be told there was no medicine, treatment or "cure", this was very alien to me. I was/am lucky that I don't have any underlying health conditions so rarely need to go to the doctor so when this happened I was shocked, upset, angry blah blah blah
However I have found my own "cure" and more support, motivation and inspiration than any tablet or injection could provide, here, on this forum.
You will find your way back, if you want to, and when you are ready there will be people here ready to hold your hand and walk with you.
Good luck and very best wishes.

@DJC3 The pronounced almond flour taste and mouthfeel in savoury dishes is a big turn off for me - sweet ones mask the flavour enough to be tolerable. In a strange quirk, we made a quiche with a coconut flour base and I liked that taste. Just looked at the Lo dough quiche recipe - I personally would avoid like the plague just know the base would be a waste of resources for me.
I have no idea re the suit and fit. I am about 2ks lighter and waist is smaller. I now how to quickly shed 2 kgs with fasting for a couple of days. May wear for christenings if they happen - big deal for me but not my call.

Not the filling - cooking the Lo dough would make it an inedible waste for me. I imagined a no pastry quiche on a Lo dough kiddie. I will only ever use these as wraps I can tolerate them that way.I agree the almond flour suits sweet dishes more.
The Lodough base was fine
I would be interested to know too please @DJC3

Re the coconut pastry, I knew what was being used - basically if I don't find recipes or watch like a hawk I won't eat it. The texture/mouthfeel was much closer to traditional version, There was a sweet taste to it and we felt it may be good for the rare times when I want dessert - Normandy apple pie with an inulin glazing was in my mind.
@Brunneria love the pictures and food looks amazing. I have looked at some of the recipes and know that personally I will love the idea and not the reality - I am learning the hard way about the triumph of expectation/hope over reality for me and other people's taste
Not implying ....Ianspurs, are you implying you watch your wife cook, to ensure she complies to your requirements?
Not implying ....
Also, just made ersatz bulletproof coffee - used butter, added inulin no cream or other stuff. Like the results taste wise.
We have virtually Polar opposite tastes and for about 2 years I would only eat what I cooked or made myself which Mrs P took as an affront. This is not perfect but causes far more harmony. In a sense it brings as together more after 36 years often seeing each other for maybe 4 hrs a day except for holidays.Blimey - If I supervised my OH's every culinary move I'd soon be in the hot seat, full time, and as far as he's concerned, recipes are a rough guide.
Hi @cowbag IP was one I struggled with at first. It is short for Instant Pot (part of the Catechism here) and WoW is for World of Warcraft - what that actually is I have no idea. Hope that helps.Hello, just stalking for now............ fascinating info here. Do you have a dictionary to refer to though as I cant understand half of the abbreviations. What is IP for example? and also WoW?
