I was wondering what a diabetic restaurant would have on the menu
I can think of lots of things not to be served. But what apart from salad do you put on the menu no salt low fat low carb no sugar no pasta, potato or bread no pasties or pies and if its also vegetarian no meat or also vegan no milk or cheese
Maybe it could be Mo; Fish plaice or ....

I was reading that those Jerusalem Artichoke's are stuffed full of carbs if carbs are just the starch
Surly must be a way of cooking to reduce starch to a minimum
Maybe our Chef is familiar with this technique :-))
Cauliflower pancakes are just that. Potatoes are NOT involved - just cauliflower, an egg and some parm cheese. They are spooned into either a fry pan or oven and cooked till brown. They taste just like potatoes and if you dont tell anyone they'd never know they are made from cauliflower.
