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.
Low-Carb Marzipan
Published on: Jul 06 2022, 00:49
Marzipan is unbelievably easy to make. The recipe calls for ground almonds, sugar, oil, and some rose water. All you have to do is mix the ingredients and let them air dry for a while. All done! Of course, our low-carb version replaces the sugar with an artificial sweetener. If you normally use Sukrin, you'll need to use something less gritty for this recipe. Liquid sweetener works perfectly, and is much cheaper. But there's a problem: the almonds must be freshly ground. Ground almonds from the…

Honey is very special stuff. Normally I would never have come up with the idea of homemade honey, since the bees can do it a lot better. Unfortunately, honey is almost 100% sugar and goes very poorly with a low-carb diet. I still think that a honey lover can eat some honey now and then; just try to eat less of it.

Low-Carb Candied Fruit
Published on: Apr 19 2021, 18:29
Candying is a lengthy process. The idea is to remove the liquid from fruit and replace it with large amounts of sugar. This also makes the candied fruit keep well.We didn't use sugar, of course, but our low-carb substitute erythritol (sold as Sukrin, Erythritol, Sucolin, or Xucker Light). The first problem is that erythritol isn't cheap, and for candying you'll need a relatively large amount of it. To make one batch we needed about 1 kg_(2 pound) of Xucker Light. At a price of up to 20 € per kg,…
Low-Carb and Vegetarian
Published on: Jun 18 2021, 23:05
Our local newspaper, the Offenbach Post, often reports on people or initiatives that make the town special. We thought they might be interested in Delicious Low Carb, so we sent the editor a brief press release. We promptly got an e-mail back saying that an editor would like to talk to us. When we spoke on the phone to make an appointment, I had an idea: "Why don't you come over for lunch on Monday?" The nice young lady agreed, but revealed a hitch in our plan: "I don't eat meat or fish." Of course,…
Lamb with Savory Pudding
Published on: Oct 01 2022, 22:31
When the lamb is ready, strain the gravy from the roasting pan and thicken it with guar gum. The gravy will be a gorgeous shade of dark red from the wine. Overturn the pudding pan to get the pudding out and then pour the mint sauce over it. This meal is both delicious and visually appealing - a feast worthy of a princess. If you've invited Kate Middleton over for dinner, it's perfect!
