Perfect Yolk Hard Cooked Eggs 🥚🍳 {keto | low carb}
The most indispensable of keto snacks, hard cooked eggs are the one food item people seem to have the most trouble with. This process is the one you have waited for. Perfect vibrant yellow yolks and easy to peel every single time. The best part? You don't need any expensive equipment, just an inexpensive stainless steel steamer basket.
Eggs and the Keto Diet 🥚
Eggs may very well be the perfect keto food. They have virtually no carbohydrate and ...
Caramelized Mashed Cauliflower + Cheddar Cheese Gravy 🧀
This is the mashed cauliflower of your dreams. One that people will prefer to potatoes. But how? By cooking it beyond any point that seems reasonable or sane.
Moisture: The Mortal Enemy Of Transcendant Mashed Cauliflower 💧
The main place where people go wrong with their mashed cauliflower comes down to the water content of the vegetable. It's where a lot of the loose, mealy textures that are so off-putting to people originate from. There's really only one remedy for that, and that's ...
Keto Cranberry Sauce
The story of how I ended up developing my Keto Cranberry Sauce is not one where I set out to create a keto-fied cranberry sauce. I have an instinctual skepticism of "substitute" foods on low carb diets. It's not really a matter of dogma, I think they can occasionally be good. It's just difficult to do. Copies of iconic originals are generally doomed to failure.
You only have to look at the amount of "fathead pizza dough" recipes to see that there is a bit of an obsession in the keto commun...
Kohlrabi French Fries
Yes, you read that right. Keto french fries, and no, they're not potatoes.
Everyone who has ever switched to a keto lifestyle has kryptonite foods that you miss periodically despite conquering general carb cravings. Like a lot of people, mine was McDonald's french fries.
In the past, I've been known to make multiple stops to assemble the perfect fast food meal. Fries from McDonald's, burgers from In-N-Out, milkshakes and deep fried cheddar cheese curds from Culver's. You can't say I ...
Thai Coconut Curry Cauliflower Rice
In my Madras-Style Mild Curry Powder post, you first heard me discuss the idea that we don't have to re-invent the wheel when it comes to creative ways to flavor our food in the absence of carbs and commercial processing. There are ready-made flavor combinations and dishes just waiting to be adapted to the parameters of a low carbohydrate diet. For this post on Thai Coconut Curry Cauliflower Rice, we will follow the same theme but will move east across the Bay of Bengal from India to Thailand...
Creamed Curried Baby Greens
One of the things that I try very hard to convince everyone of on this blog is the notion of a foundational model of home cooking driven by the quality of the end results. As much as we shouldn't let what we see on Pinterest and the food media affect our self-esteem about what we put on the table at mealtime, we still do. It's easy to forget that almost everyone has staff in the form of assistants, food stylists, professional photographers, and the like. That's not to say that you can't compete ...
