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.
Classic Asparagus
Published on: Nov 28 2021, 22:49
A friend recently asked why I hadn't put a recipe for asparagus with Hollandaise sauce on the site yet. I thought there were already enough good Hollandaise recipes out there, but a Google search said otherwise. It's not easy to find a recipe that tastes good and is fairly certain to work. This is partly because of all the low-fat versions out there. You can also buy Hollandaise at the grocery store instead of making your own, but that's out of the question: store-bought Hollandaise is more than…
Christmas Stollen
Published on: Apr 19 2021, 17:58
In Germany Christmas means stollen, a traditional spiced fruit cake. Since my childhood, when my family would receive two or three stollen as gifts each December (in exchange for a package of coffee or chocolate), I only start to feel like it's Christmas when the stollen is cut. I haven't found any really good low-carb recipes for Christmas stollen online. So I'm happy to announce that Delicious Low Carb is presenting the world's first fully-functioning low-carb stollen recipe. I have to admit…
Christmas Cookies

If cookies are part of Christmas, then baking is part of Advent. If you think of baking as work, it's better not to do it. Hopefully you enjoy baking as much as we do, because tasty low-carb baked goods are hard to find in stores. And Christmas cookies naturally lend themselves to low-carb baking. You'll just need to replace the sugar with artificial sweetener, and almond flour actually works better for Christmas baking than wheat flour. Even if I were to go back to eating carbs, I would still use…
Chocolate-Covered Sprouts in Snow
Published on: Jun 10 2021, 21:55
Since I started writing the blog I've found myself talking about food more often, whether it's with friends or with the lady tending the bar. Unfortunately, my wife isn't so enthusiastic. It gets on her nerves, especially when she's hungry: "If you keep talking about food, you'll have to go home and cook me something!" The reason guys talk about cooking has to do with machismo. We want to prove that we're the best or most creative cooks. Although I mentioned the lady at the bar, men seem to get…
Chocolate Hazelnut Bars
Published on: Mar 26 2022, 21:30
These chocolate hazelnut cookies are popular in Germany, where they're known as Nussecken. The basic idea is a tasty shortcrust pastry with caramelized almonds on top. The edges tend to crumble, so it's customary to dip the cut edges into chocolate. This stops the crumbling and makes the edges look tidy. Here's an easy low-carb version of this German favorite: Chocolate Hazelnut Bars Dough: 250 g_(10 oz)butter 250 g_(10 oz)almond flour 125 ggluten 100 g_(4 oz)ground hazelnuts 1…
