I’ve just had a No Bread Crayfish and Avocado Sandwich from Pret a Manger for lunch.

Now, if you search Google for “no bread sandwich” you find lots of people asking “What’s so special?” and “Isn’t that just a salad?”

Well, yes, it is just a salad, but … it was the only ’salad in a box’ that doesn’t involve pasta, or rice or cous-cous that I can get on my lunch break. And seeing as low carb options aren’t hugely forthcoming in this country at the moment (apart from low-carb chocolate - no problem there) it is an absolute godsend.

I’ve made this quite a few times recently (mainly at the request of Simon, and also because making Tristan’s eyes pop out of his head is so much fun) and figured I should share the recipe.

This is the basic recipe, but it’s one of those that you can vary ad infinitum.

I made Pumpkin Pie for the first time this weekend, and it was good fun.

I used this Pumpkin Pie recipe, which turned out rather well - if a little gooey in places due to being too thick.

I think I may have to have another go sometime……
