\"\"Inspiration for isolation: 14 Low-Carb Recipes for 14 Days<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Armand Aucamp<\/p>\n

Recipe Book<\/p>\n

Imprint: LAPA<\/p>\n

Flatten the curve, do not fatten the curve!<\/p>\n

This is a 14-recipe banting-and-keto cookbook with easy, healthy and creative dishes for you and your entire family amid the lockdown, and beyond. We are pricing this book at only R49,00 when bought through our app, or roughly US$3,00 on Kindle.<\/p>\n

Here is a message from Armand<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have to admit, I was convinced that plagues and worldwide pandemics were something of the past. It seemed like something confined only to history books or biblical times. Or something Hollywood film makers would conjure up for the latest blockbuster (Contagion<\/em> being frighteningly accurate to our current situation).<\/p>\n

But, here we are, most of us in self-isolation amid the national lockdown; working from home; avoiding crowds; even the coffee shops are closed. The situation is quite surreal.<\/p>\n

But we South Africans have always possessed the magical ability to look at the bright side of things.<\/p>\n

All around me, I see and read how South Africans are making the best of the current situation. I hear about parents taking their children for walks in nature again, people dusting off their forgotten-about musical instruments or attempting to learn a new language or, for the first time in ages, cooking a romantic meal for their partner.<\/p>\n

Speaking of which, I really believe that this time of isolation creates the perfect opportunity to take stock of how and what we eat and to discover how we can incorporate better choices in our daily lives. It is an opportune moment to reconnect with the nourishment of our bodies from which we, over the past few decades, have become completely removed.<\/p>\n

Start cooking again. Cook for your spouse and cook for your children. Cook for yourself. Experiment. Ask your kids for help in the kitchen and allow them to take over and show you what they are capable of. What better place to reconnect than in the kitchen?<\/p>\n

I still fondly recall how much joy a certain cookbook for kids gave me as a boy; flapjacks and fudge and eggnog were three recipes that I will never forget!<\/p>\n

We have to establish a reconnection with ourselves, as well as our loved ones. We have allowed ourselves to become so busy and so distracted by so many things!<\/p>\n

Involuntarily, we have drifted further and further away from one another and now is the time to start making the journey home, to ourselves and to one another. And what could be easier and more satisfying than doing so with love, laughter and delicious food around a kitchen table?<\/p>\n
