Chic Lasagna
Published on: Mar 23 2022, 11:09
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…
Carpaccio with Mediterranean Zucchini Bread
Published on: Feb 15 2022, 21:52
When I lived in Saxony, I had a favorite Italian restaurant. "La Traviata" has the best carpaccio in all Frankfurt. It's traditionally prepared with the best beef (sliced paper-thin), celery, and grated parmesan. The marinade is made with olive oil and aromatic balsamic vinegar. The highlight is a bread baked in a pizza oven. It's flavorful and can be dipped in the marinade. This bread was an obstacle to making carpaccio myself, and since I went low carb it's been even harder to meet the standards…
Zabaione
Published on: Nov 21 2021, 14:25
Zabaione is the classic Italian dessert. It tastes amazing and is made with simple ingredients. The original contains vast amounts of carbs - not just sugar, but also the super-sweet dessert wine Marsala. For cooks who make zabaione, though, the dessert offers plenty of physical exercise. Zabaione has to be beaten continuously with a whisk for at least 15 minutes while in a water bath. Of course, you could use an electric mixer, but that doesn't work as well_(and anyway, it would be unsportsmanlike).…
Schneider's Pizza
Published on: Aug 19 2021, 20:22
The recipe I want to introduce today goes back to Adolf Schneider, a village butcher from the Westerwald mountains. According to my aunt, he was a big influence on my life. When I was a baby my mom often took me shopping with her. Whenever Mr. Schneider the butcher waited on her, he would give her an extra little piece of beef. "Inge, that's for the little one, because he always has such a nice smile!" Pizza dough for 6 portions: 750 g_(1 1/2 pound)ground beef 3eggs 250 g_(10 oz)almond…
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…
Carbonara!
Published on: Feb 04 2021, 14:36
Italian carbonara is one of the classic sauces. Since it's not exactly low in calories, it has unfortunately fallen into disrepute. But low-carb fans don't worry about calories, so we can enjoy carbonara to our hearts' content. The real question is what kind of pasta we should put the sauce on. We've developed a special kind of gnocchi made with almond flour. In homage to the great jazz/soul musician, we call them "Mandgnocchi". The gnocchi dough consists of almond flour, gluten, 1 egg, 2 tbsp…
Noodles

To serve 4: 50 g_(2 oz)almond flour 75 g_(3 oz)gluten 75 g_(3 oz)soy flour 2eggs 2 tbspolive oil 3 tbspwater 1 dspsalt Nutmeg, chili Noodles are quick and easy to make. The flour should be sifted very finely. We don't use wheat flour, but - as always in our low-carb cooking - gluten and almond flour. Then we add the eggs, oil, salt, spices, and water, and knead to form a smooth dough. The real challenge of making noodles is the noodle shape. For beginners, I would recommend making…
