Hello, I'm Kim, and I'm really passionate about making healthier choices in my recipes by cutting down on sugar.
I love experimenting with natural sweeteners like monkfruit, dates, and sugar-free maple syrup.
My area of expertise lies in creating sugar-free desserts, sugar-free baking, and crafting healthy nutritious Asian inspired dinner options that are perfect for those busy midweek meals and meal planning.
About The Recipes
All the recipes you find on My Sugar Free Kitchen are naturally sweetened, and I love experimenting with natural sweeteners like monkfruit, dates, and sugar-free maple syrup. On the very odd occasion, I may use a tablespoon or two of honey if the recipe can't be made any other way.
My aim is to keep my recipes as simple as possible by using everyday, easy to find ingredients, whilst keeping them low in sugar, and high on the taste, texture and flavor scale.
I want to show you how to make healthy recipes using natural ingredients and sweeteners that will help you to cut back on sugar whilst still satisfying your sweet cravings.

A Little Bit About Me
As a kid and teenager I grew up eating lots of processed and sugary foods like high sugar cereals, cakes, biscuits, slices, chocolates, and chips. I always struggled with my weight and I knew it was because of my diet. There was lots of food that came in boxes with ingredients I couldn't pronounce, and only minimal fresh fruit and veges.
For years I struggled with lack of energy, fatigue, skin problems and my cravings were off the charts.
About 15 years ago, I completely changed the way I ate. I began cooking from scratch, eating way more fruits and veg and cutting out refined sugars.
I started to read cookbooks like they were novels, taking in every bit of information on healthy eating that I could. I also become obsessed with watching cooking shows 24/7.
I learnt about flavours, spices, cuts of meat, how to use a slow cooker, a pressure cooker, and how to bake from scratch for the first time. All the while experimenting and adjusting so that the recipes I made had little to no added sugars, but tasted delicious.
This process of experimentation taught me how to use natural sweeteners like dates, apricots, figs, and monkftuit.
This proved to me I could make healthy and delicious food without all the added sugars. I didn't want to give up my comfort foods, chocolate, desserts or my love of spicy Asian dishes. So I re-invented them here, in my growing collection of healthy and clean recipes.
