I've bought the "New Atkins New You Cookbook. It has 200 low carb recipes which it claims are quick to make. I have only browsed it so far, but it's going to increase my repertoire.
Yes I have made a Christmas cake, covered in Royal Icing no less. Still I expect visitors, children and grandchildren to dispose of it. I MIGHT taste a tiny bit as I've used a variation on an old recipe. I put in pale coloured fruits mainly. Pineapple, apricots, papaya, mango and lots of Almonds. Lidle were selling these loose, so I bought a bagful. Great value, even if I had to blanch them myself. I have to make mayonnaise this afternoon. I have 3 yolks left over from making the Royal icing. I also have raspberry vinegar, which I'll use to flavour the mayo. home made of course.
I keep a Czech Christmas Eve. Fish with potato salad [I have green salad available too] The fish should be carp, but since I don't like it, we have cod or plaice as chosen by the family and best quality fish fingers for the children, plus chips for them too. I am going back to my roots forclassic Czech Recipes.I have to "Low carb" them. Czech cooking adapts fairly well.
