I recently posted some pictures on instagram of a keto rhubarb crumble I made and everyone asked me to post the recipe. So here, along with my baking philosophy, it is.

On my recent trip to California I visited some of the fantastic organic supermarkets they have there. I was looking for some tasty treats that were sweetened with sugar alternatives. As well as the usual stevia, erythritol etc, I noticed that many things were sweetened with monk fruit. I had only heard of monk fruit as a vegan alternative to …
I have a confession to make. I love cake. Really, really love it. Which is a bit of a problem for a health loving gal like me. I have therefore perfected the art of healthy baking.

The Ageless YouTube channel was first launched in April 2021. Since then I have posted a video every single week.

The choice of milks on offer has increased as well, from regular dairy to all the many non-dairy alternatives. But are these any better for us and which ones are the healthiest? …
We all know by now (surely??) that sugar is detrimental to health and can lead to weight gain, diabetes and god knows what else. To circumnavigate this unfortunate fact, who hasn’t tried out alternative sweeteners convinced that they’re much better for our health? Maple syrup anyone?
