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.
Dumplings

One of my wife's favorite foods is Hungarian goulash. A fine goulash with sauerkraut is a perfect low-carb dish, but she wanted dumplings to go with it. Of course, she knew that all my attempts at dumplings had failed. Either I couldn't get the dumpling taste right, or else they disintegrated while cooking. Then she said it: "You're usually so clever!" And I knew that I would have to use all my cooking expertise to rise to the challenge. Practice makes perfect! When you make our almond…

Dakos

When we were on vacation on the isle of Crete, one of the most popular appetizers among the German tourists was dakos. One woman from Berlin ate it almost every day. At first, I thought it was just a Greek version of Italian bruschetta: toasted bread topped with tomatoes. But then curiosity got the best of me and I tried it. It was divine! The bread was crispy without being tough. The tomatoes and feta cheese combined beautifully. I had to ask the chef for the recipe. He was glad to oblige. The…
Committee Casserole

My city, Offenbach, has been suffering from the expansion of the Frankfurt Airport. Everywhere else in the world, airports are built where they will affect the fewest people, but our Hessian government approved a runway about 500 meters closer to the densely-populated area of the city. Since October, the pilots have been thundering over downtown Offenbach - right over my head! Fortunately, the citizens are working together to protest the government's disregard for their interests and health. One…
Coconut-Almond Broccoli
Published on: Apr 16 2022, 23:14
Browsing the shelves at the grocery store today, I picked up a can of coconut milk. It turns out that coconut milk is only 1.3% carbohydrates. Coconut milk is usually found in Asian cuisine or desserts, but when I saw the beautiful heads of broccoli at the farmers' market, I had an idea: wouldn't the slight sweetness of coconut milk go well with this vegetable? And what about the flavor of almonds? There was only one way to find out, so we coated the tender broccoli florets with a batter of coconut…
