Thanks Jeanette all sound delicious. Very interesting re the alternative breads too. Even though my hubby makes sensational sourdough, I’m going bread free for a while to try and ditch my bloated tum and eyelid stubborn eczema. Thoroughly enjoying all of my K’s at the minute. Start my day with Kefir, Kimchi for lunch, Kombucha as my dinner drink. Will endeavour to add some Kraut too at my earliest opportunity 🌸 happy weekend everyone x
These toppings look yummy and ideal for a busy day working from home. I'm curious, how would you rate homemade 50% wholewheat sourdough vs. your bread choices for someone who has blood sugar issues, according to Zoe ;).
Hi Jane, hopefully the high protein on these and fat help slow down potential sugar spikes should you fancy some sourdough with it which would be v tasty. Lots more to say here - sleep, stress, time of day we eat all come into play too. Jeannette x
Hi Jacky, yes "raw" as in unpasteurised so the bacteria are still alive and well. In UK supermarkets the main ones I've found apart from Comte are Gruyere, Manchego, Parmesan and Roqeufort. If you go to a proper cheese shop eg Neal's Yard there are many more. Re salad leaves - if you want ones grown in earth, online it's Abel and Cole or local farmers' markets. I think the salad leaves thing will become a big thing as people wake up to the verticals being too hygienic for us.
Hi Samantha. Good question. Many cheeses are low in lactose because the bacteria during the fermentation process eats it up . Which is why many clients I've met can eat quite a bit of Parmesan without problems - and this is backed up by research when I looked into it. I find many lactose intolerant adults tolerate quite a bit of cheese, but not milk/cream/ice cream etc which are high in lactose. I haven't looked into Gran Padano specifically recently. As I'm writing this I'm wondering if I do a lactose cheat sheet soon for paid subscribers...and answer questions on it? Big topic! Jeannette x
At times like this I wish I lived in the UK for easy access to these breads! I can get pumpernickel here but not Biona. The brands here are Delba...and Miller's. Not organic though. I need to look at the ingredient list. x
Yes check out the ingredients lists - hopefully no E numbers, emulsifiers, or unrecognisable names in there which mean it has been turned into a processed food. You could use my toppings any fresh bread or toast with natural ingredients if you can't get a decent black bread. xx
Very useful Jeannette - you simplify my life by providing easy and great WFH lunches - which I currently need! :)

Glad they are helping Marion. I’m going to do quick suppers next. Xx Jeannette

Love the sound of the recipes - I'll be giving those a try - GF for me!
Great! And experiment...this is just the beginning to spark ideas I hope...Jeannette x
Thank you for this - I had no idea that some cheese is raw or that supermarket salad leaves aren't grown in the ground!

I too didn’t realise Comte was naturally unpasteurised. Correct me if am wrong - but Parmesan and Grana Padano are also naturally lactose-free?
