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.
Chocolate

Chocolate is the stuff that causes many a diet to fail. Since we always have chocolate at home, we never though of giving it up for our low-carb diet. But we'll get straight to the point. You don't need any special equipment to make chocolate that contains almost no carbs. Chocolate is simply a mixture of fat, cocoa, milk powder - and normally sugar. The sugar usually presents the biggest problem, since it has to be very finely ground. We don't have this problem, since we only use liquid sweetener.…

Hurra, es ist Frühling! Wir haben heute unsere erste Mahlzeit auf der Terasse eingenommen. Aus diesem Anlass hatte ich mir vorgenommen, ein komplett neues Gericht zu erfinden. So bin ich über unseren schönen Offenbacher Bauernmarkt geschlendert, um für diesen besonderen Tag eine besondere Idee zu bekommen Bei unserem Stamm-Gemüsestand gab es Chinakohl-Köpfe. Da diese vom Bauern einer neben dem anderen aufgestellt worden waren und so wirklich toll aussahen, kam mir die Idee, den Kohl bei der Zubereitung…
Chic Lasagna

Last week we organized a painting and cooking event at our art club. It was very interesting to see what artists can do with food. And at the end, we ate the art. Besides various edible "paints" we provided vegetables, which are well-suited to creating works of art. At the end we had four beautiful stalks of chicory left over. Chicory leaves are white and tender, but also thick and fleshy, which reminded me of lasagna noodles. Thus, an idea was born: a "chic" low-carb lasagna. Chic Lasagna…

Breadsticks: 100 g (4 oz)finely grated Gouda cheese 100 g (4 oz)butter 2eggs 100 g_(4 oz)gluten 50 g_(2 oz)almond flour Salt, almond flour for rolling out breadsticks My first attempt at low-carb breadsticks took place six months ago. It was a rainy Sunday, and I was in the mood to experiment. The results could have been used to build a house, but they weren't fit to eat. They were tasty when they came out of the oven but turned as hard as a rock within minutes. I'd used only gluten…

I grew up in a family with three siblings, and with so many mouths to feed, my mother had to be careful with money. During the summer we ate vegetables, fruit, and berries from our own garden. When you grow your own food, you develop a totally different relationship to it. This led to a strict principle: never throw away food. While I haven't always paid attention to the things my mom taught me, the responsible use of food is one rule I've definitely internalized. My wife can attest to this after…
