I received this link from a LC friend, amazed to find that HCPs across the lake advise teir patients to adopt the Low Carb lifestyle, this goes for people suffering from cancer, diagnosed with diabetes, autistic children, and so on.
The recipes, in German, are from a national hospital website, click through the pictures, the total carb content is shown at the bottom of each recipe in red 'KH'.
Just say if you would like to have any of these recipes translated.
I wonder how long it will be before the NHS will follow suit and advise to eat low/reduced carb?

Don't whatever you do show it to Chocoholicnomore!

The Walnuss-wotsits look good - would you mind translating that one, please? And some of the savoury ones, if you have time? :D

Many thanks WhitbyJet, hope you are feeling better. Yes many of the recipes look very interesting, is there any way we can get a link in English? as I can't really tell any of the ingredients in German, thanks, Debra x
 
diadeb - sorry there is no link in English, that's why I offered to translate any recipes for anyone if they see anything they are interested in.
I dont speak German, but sister-in-law does, she is offering to translate. I have already tried out a couple of the cookie recipes, they are lovely.
So diadeb, you want a recipe translating give me a shout, it seems all ingredients are easy to get, nothing outlandish anywhere in the recipes from what I have seen.
Just interesting to see new recipes and from a hospital site as well, I am impressed.

I would be very grateful if you could get translated

sweetener
5tbsp milk
1 pinch cinnamon

Separate eggs, whip egg whites until stiff. Beat egg yolk and oil until creamy, add rest of ingredients and mix to a smooth batter. Fold in the egg whites. if the batter is too stiff you can add a little more milk to it.

Heat the waffle iron, medium to hot, bake the waffles till nicely browned, cool on a rack. The waffles are best eaten when fresh, they are suitable for freezing.

Hi again Whitbyjet, I am definately going to try the recipes you have translated so far but now when I try to access the site I ger HTTP Forbidden, so can you perhaps post it again, or it may be my computer, thanks, Debra
 
diadeb - how strange, I have no idea why the link isnt working any more, we have checked all the small print and legal stuff and its perfectly ok to download the recipes.

This is the website of the University Hospital Mannheim>>> http://www.umm.de/4757.0.html - once you have this open look on the right hand side, click on "link zum PDF Rezeptheft" .
If that doesnt work, send me your email address via PM and I will send you the pdf file with all the recipes, I have saved it.
The recipes are a Godsend, there are various low carb pastry recipes in there, am looking forward to trying them.

I am really excited whenever I find new recipes, I dont want to low carb on just bacon, boiled egg and ham with almond flour and a few lettuce leaves, that would be boring.
 
Several members sent PM to ask for recipes to be translated, if you see any other recipes you might fancy, send me a PM.

1 Tbsp. dried marjoram leaves

1 Tbsp. dried thyme leaves
2 tsp. dried orange zest, powdered
1 powdered or ground bay leaf
1 tsp. fennel seeds
2 tsp. dried lavender
1/8 tsp. white pepper

Combine all ingredients, store in a small tightly closed jar, keep in a cool place out of sunlight.
 
Yes Viv, as usual you are absolutely right - I have corrected it. Thanks for pointing it out, btw the bread is very nice, I added a few caraway seeds to it, had 2 slices with butter and boiled eggs this morning YUM!!
 
Hi again WhitbyJet, I quite fancy making the Quark bread but the recipe calls for a tablespoon on protein powder, do I really need this and if so where would I get it from, thanks, Deb x
 
diadeb - I dont know if its really necessary to add the protein powder or not, the recipe has been translated exactly as it is.
To be honest if I were to make this bread and didnt have the protein powder home I would probably be tempted to make it without and hope and pray that it still turns out right, if not I could always feed it to the birds :lol:

You can buy the protein powder from Holland & Barrett, health food shops, ebay or other online suppliers, do a google search.

Be careful though that you are buying an unflavoured one, I once made the mistake of picking up a vanilla flavour protein powder, didnt notice until we all sat round the table just about to tuck into a steak pie with vanilla flavour crust YUK.

Really every low carb kitchen should have a good stock of flaxseeds, coconut flour, almond flour, protein powder and xanthan or guar gum, they are staples.
 
Oh forgot to say, a member sent PM to me singing the praises of the 'Bread Herbes de Provence' - personally have not yet tried that one, but apparently its simply 'delish'.
