Hello all, well I have more clients now that are sugar, salt free and low fat..so I have been experimenting how to bring in flavors and textures to make these dishes more appealing.
As you know I will not use anything unnatural nor over processed, so I have added more fresh herbs and lots of naturally "salty" lemon juice and celery.
For the low/no sugar, I have added fresh apples or orange juice..the results are very good..I will see how the client's adapt.
Have a great weekend and here is a photo, of snow on our local mountains....more expected next week. And the beach today.
Southern California IS the place where you can surf on waves and ski on snow on the same day!!
