Ginger, widely used in cooking and healing, is a rhizome—not a true root! Native to Southeast Asia, this zesty spice enhances both food and health. It fights inflammation, nausea, and colds, and can even be brewed into powerful homemade teas. Chef Janine regularly uses ginger in both fresh and pickled form in her ketogenic Asian meals for its vibrant flavor and medicinal properties.

Chef Janine takes us to Rome with a Japanese twist! Enjoy her creamy Chicken Alfredo made keto-style with shirataki noodles, rich Alfredo sauce, grilled chicken (or shrimp), broccoli, and bacon—served with a fresh side salad. Inspired by the original 1914 Roman recipe, this dish swaps traditional pasta for zero-carb shirataki noodles, made from konjac root. Delicious, low-carb, and gut-friendly—it's comfort food with an international flair!
