As both my husband and I are Japanese trained carnivores without allergies, cooking just for us is quite easy. All I have to care about is the taste and the cooking time. However, it is a different story to cook for someone else. There are quite a few people who have allergies or are on…

My Low Carb Recipe – Okonomiyaki Frittata
