A regular cheesecake usually consists of half fat, half sugar, so you may be surprised to see a cheesecake in this book! However, using quark is an amazing way to mimic that same creamy cheesecake consistency and taste without all the saturated fat – perfect! Using sweetener and vanilla extract in place of sugar, this amazing dessert keeps the calorie count right down as the taste goes up. Delicious!

It’s all a lie! The stuff you get from your local Chinese takeaway isn’t really seaweed. Of course, you know that already. But that’s why it’s so easy to recreate. You don’t need to don waders and head to the coast any time soon; a simple bag of cabbage will suffice! Add some decent seasoning and this will be a quick side dish you’ll never need to order from the takeaway again.

Such a light dessert served with fruit; this quick sweet fix sent our taste testers wild. Try it and you’ll understand why! It is absolutely ingenious. By using granulated sweetener and semi-skimmed milk, set with gelatine, you won’t believe that this is easy on calories. But it really is! 

Originally a South Asian pickle, the English got hold of the idea in the 18th century, added some more seasoning and sauce, and created piccalilli. When we came up with this super-quick version and were considering what to call it, we had a eureka moment (it’s a quick piccalilli . . . geddit?!).

We’ve made a few crustless quiches in our time, but we have to say that this combination of ingredients is by far our favourite. Rich with feta and crammed full of filling spinach and juicy tomatoes, it’s a simple recipe that will make a quick lunchtime meal a breeze!

Falafel are Middle Eastern bites of deliciousness! These are flavoured with an uncommon combination of feta and beetroot, but once you’ve tasted them, you’ll wonder why everything in the world isn’t made from these two ingredients! Filling and low in calories, these falafel will go down a storm.
