You won't find recipes for steak with salad or an amazing salad with turkey breast here. If you don't know how to cook a steak, you can go allrecipes.com or similar. They have 13,000 steak recipes. (Unbelievable, isn't it? I wonder if they're all different?) Also, I don't really find it helpful to copy recipes from somewhere and just leave out the potatoes.
I trust my readers' creativity, so most of the recipes I've shared here are specifically low-carb and should be a jumping-off point for you to develop your own low-carb kitchen. They are mainly about how to create satisfying low-carb versions of traditional foods like bread, and also how to satisfy your sweet tooth on a low-carb diet. In addition, we've tried to include tips for dealing with special low-carb ingredients like almond flour or gluten.
Quiche Lorraine
Published on: Feb 03 2013, 20:56
Fertig!One of my favorite recipes from the old days was Quiche Lorraine. No birthday buffet should be without it. I always cut it into small servings, because it's very filling! Once I moved to Offenbach and my parties got significantly larger, this wonderful dish was forgotten. Nachdem ich nach Offenbach gezogen bin, und meine Parties wesentlich größer wurden geriet dieses wunderbare Gericht etwas in Vergessenheit. A large pot of Chili is better suited to the task of feeding 35 hungry guests.…
Pumpkin Croquettes with Mediterranean Tenderloin

My wife had the idea of making pumpkin for dinner tonight - "But not soup; that's too boring!" While brainstorming over breakfast, I realized that pumpkin could be used to make something like falafel. I also wanted to use a recent discovery of ours, coarsely-ground flaxseed flour. With this in mind, we went to the grocery store. There was a great selection of pumpkins. We decided on an especially aromatic variety. Then we went to the butcher's counter. I couldn't pass up the pork loin. We hadn't…
Potato Pancakes
Published on: Oct 01 2012, 14:18
One of the most exciting low-carb recipes is potato pancakes (also known as latkes). I had to give them up for a long time, since my wife didn't like them. When I read this recipe, I had to try it. Since then, I've been making them regularly. Once you've tasted them, you'll never want potato pancakes made from potatoes again. If you're not already skeptical_(and I was), the basis for our pancakes is sauerkraut. To serve 4: 500 g_(1 Pound)sauerkraut 1egg 1onion (medium-sized) 50 g_(2oz)gluten 1/2…
Potato Dishes

I was born in Central Hesse, so I have a special relationship with potatoes. When I was a little kid, my mother took me to the field and let me collect what the harvesting machine had missed. I thought this chore was exciting and had something to show for it when I was done. As the German saying goes, "The dumbest farmer harvests the biggest potatoes..." The carbohydrate content of potatoes is only about 12-15%, and if they're cooked in enough water, a portion of the carbs will remain in the…
Pizza

Pizza dough to serve 4: 1 cantuna fish in oil 1egg 50 g_(2 oz)gluten 50 g_(2 oz)almond flour Salt, pepper One of the first low-carb recipes we tried was a tuna-based pizza dough. We followed the recipe (from the University of Würzburg) closely, and were disappointed. The result was nothing like pizza - more like an omelet. It wasn't crispy at all and it tasted like egg. Contrary to what we'd expected, though, the tuna worked well. That's why we've tackled the recipe again, and…
