Hi! Welcome to my low carb and gluten free recipe site!
I started this blog as “Divalicious in Dubai” when I was very, very bored at work when I was living in Dubai. The company I was working for was being bought out by a large search engine (ahem) and a lot of us were sitting around with nothing to do which drove me nuts as I like to be busy. As I was also embarking upon a healthier low carb and gluten free lifestyle after years of Dubai brunches and general debauchery, I thought that I would put together a blog of my recipes.
After 5 years in Dubai we moved back to my home country and settled back in London so the blog then was renamed “Divalicious Recipes in the City” with the thinking that we would always move onto another city as my husband was always being offered jobs abroad. How wrong we were! His next move brought us out to Barbados and I had to change the name again of the blog to Divalicious Recipes to keep it simple for our travelling. We are now in Aruba and will be moving again this year. Who knows where our next home will be! Divalicious Recipes is because I am a little bit of a diva and my cooking is delicious!
Having a silly moment..!
I hope you enjoy the recipes and learn that you don’t have to give up treats for a healthier lifestyle.

October 14, 2019 at 5:19 pmHi Angela,
I was wondering if you have discovered the ingredients to substitute for sweetened condensed milk. Many desserts I used to make used that as a main ingredient. I would like to make them again using a comparable substitute. Ever come up with something that does the trick?
Angela Coleby
October 15, 2019 at 11:32 amI have and will be posting the recipe shortly. It’s basically butter, heavy cream and a low sugar substitute.

September 29, 2019 at 12:28 pmHi Angie! Thanks for sharing these recipes. I am on a Veggie Keto diet. I looked over your Walnut Cream Cheese Cookie (1.3g net carbs) recipe and it looks Keto to me. about the same net Carbs than the Keto Chocolate Chip Cream Cheese cookies you provide a link for. Am I missing something? Are these Walnut Cream Cheese Cookies Keto?Thanks!
Angela Coleby
September 29, 2019 at 8:10 pmHere’s the link for the cookies. They are keto and deliciously low in carbs! https://divaliciousrecipes.com/walnut-cream-cheese-cookies/

July 10, 2019 at 8:53 pmThank you so much for the psyllium coconut flour flatbread recipe. You are a genius! I make this every day. I can finally eat gluten free bread again. I was diagnosed with Celiac disease over a year ago and bread was what I missed most. You have made me very happy โบ. Thanks again and I will definitely be checking out more of your recipes.
Angela Coleby
July 10, 2019 at 9:29 pmThank you Mary. I love it too. Happy that I’ve made you happy! (use it as a quick pizza base…it’s great!)

June 17, 2019 at 2:25 pmI’ve made several of your recipes all of which were good. This morning I tried the zucchini mint feta muffins. Good warm or cold, for any meal. Easy too. I used silicone muffin cups in a regular muffin pan. Thanks and best wishes in your new digs!
Angela Coleby
June 17, 2019 at 6:26 pmThanks Carol! Glad you enjoyed them!

September 23, 2018 at 8:28 pmI love the cream cheese muffins and make them all the time, but my doctor has put me on a medicine for ten days and no dairy. Can I freeze the muffins because I just made a batch yesterday, thank you
Angela Coleby
September 24, 2018 at 11:01 amYou could freeze them. Enjoy!

January 10, 2018 at 4:03 pmWas wondering, I am making the Low Carb Sub Sandwich….. They are not rising like the photo of yours. Mine are like flat breads. Is there any suggestions of what I may be doing wrong? I did recipe exactly as printed. Thank you in advance. They smell wonderful!
Angela Coleby
January 11, 2018 at 12:03 pmHi, always make sure the egg whites are whisked stiff. That might help.

August 26, 2017 at 12:41 pmI am now in the process of making the orange chocolate cake..In the list of ingredients it calls for 1 tsp. of baking powder…in the directions it says baking soda.
in the list of ingredients it calls for 1/4 cup cocoa powder….it is not in the directions….
please let me know which is correct.
Thanks,
PS…went with the baking powder…

March 30, 2017 at 10:35 amSince many of us have dairy allergy along with gluten I’m wondering if I can substitute coconut oil for butter in your recipes? Thanks so much.
Sherry
Angela Coleby
March 30, 2017 at 11:19 amHi Sherry, It should be okay in most recipes. Have you tried my avocado cookies too? No butter there and avocado makes a great replacement for butter too!

December 14, 2016 at 1:12 pmHi, I love the almond flour bread rolls. I have made many batches. How long do they keep for in the refrigerator? I usually eat them too quickly to care, but thought I could make a larger batch at one time. Thank you
Chris
August 17, 2016 at 3:16 pmHi Angie. I also need the carb count. If I count the carbs for each ingredient and add them together would this give me the carb count for that recipe and then divide by how many in a batch. I don’t like troubling you for this info. Love your ideas. You must put in so much work. It’s very much appreciated by so many!!
Angela Coleby
August 18, 2016 at 11:31 amHi Chris. Which recipe are you referring to? Glad you are enjoying them!
Chris
August 19, 2016 at 3:15 pmHi Angie. It’s the muffin recipes. Strawberry Vanilla – Apple and Blackberry ( almond flour ) – Apple Cinnamon Flaxseed. There are others. So many great recipes. I’m on a low carb diet, so need to add up my carbs. Love your site
Angela Coleby
August 29, 2016 at 2:21 pmI’ll start updating these recipes with the information soon! Glad you enjoy the recipes and happy baking!

June 23, 2016 at 6:23 pmAngie! your Diva! site is FAB! I’m not very IT savy at all, but have managed to figure out how to print off a few of your LOW-carb recipes and they are GREAT!
I am wondering WHY? some show the carb/sugar count and others dont once I print them off? ๐ I’m sure its the operator! ME! LOL thank you again for your hard work & wonderful craft with creating low-carb-healthy food alternatives, hope to see you on TV or Dr. OZ one day! Thankssssss Janie -TEXAS
Angela Coleby
June 23, 2016 at 11:43 pmHi Janie!
Glad you like the site! Some of my older recipes need updating with the print feature and the nutritional information. I am slowly working my way backwards but if there are any in particular you want updated, let me know and I’ll get onto it. I’ve been updating the site and it’s a bigger job than I thought! Happy baking! (and eating!) Angeia!

February 17, 2016 at 3:38 pmI have been looking for a site like yours for awhile now. My husband and I have various intolerances and due to other health issues, I must eat very healthy. I have trained as a chef; however, dealing with chronic pain, I don’t always have the energy or mind-space to experiment like I used to. I look forward to following you and testing out your amazing recipes!
Angela Coleby
February 18, 2016 at 8:45 amHi Lydia! Welcome and glad you found me! I hope you enjoy the recipes! Happy eating!

December 9, 2012 at 9:31 amHi ! Great recipes and i look forward to trying them….would you be able to let me know where you found almond flour in Dubai ?
Divalicious
December 9, 2012 at 6:44 pmHi, any supermarket sells it. Carrefour and Geant sells it in the spice section and has barrels of it!
Divalicious
December 9, 2012 at 6:44 pmIt is also know as ground almonds!!

August 9, 2012 at 7:37 amHI Diva, many thanks for the awesome recipes -I’ve already tried a few and they are delish!! Quick question -where can I buy the chickpea flour you used in some of your recipes?
Divalicious
August 10, 2012 at 8:57 amGlad you like the recipes! The chickpea flour can be purchased in most supermarkets or small Asian shops. It has a few names, Garam or Besan flour. Enjoy!

September 22, 2011 at 8:29 pmHi – How are you? You have some amazing recipes on this blog! Alot of them use coconut flour, which is great, since these are exactly the kind of recipes I’m looking for. However, I’ve been looking for Coconut flour in Dubai for a while now. Where do you get yours?
Angie C
September 23, 2011 at 1:45 pmThanks! I ended up buying my coconut flour online from Amazon as I could not find it anywhere in Dubai either.
