Keto recipes

Low-carb cooking that actually tastes of something. Fat is a feature, not a shame — rich sauces, properly seared meat, eggs, cheese, and vegetables that earn their space.

Branzino al Sale (Italian Salt-Crusted Whole Sea Bass) with whole branzino, coarse sea salt and egg whites — Italy recipe

🇮🇹ItalyMedium

Fish and Seafood Dishes

Branzino al Sale (Italian Salt-Crusted Whole Sea Bass)

Branzino al sale is the classic Italian salt-crusted sea bass — a whole fish buried under coarse sea salt mixed with egg whites, baked at 200°C for 30 minutes, then cracked open at the table. The salt forms a hard dome that turns the oven into a sealed steam chamber: the fish cooks in its own moisture and the aromas of lemon, thyme, and rosemary. Despite the dramatic amount of salt, the flesh emerges perfectly seasoned, never salty — the skin and scales keep the salt out. Restaurant-style Mediterranean seafood in its simplest form: high-protein, gluten-free, keto-friendly, and entirely hands-off once in the oven. Active work 10 minutes, bake 30 minutes. Serves 4 from two 700 g fish.

Chicken Adobo

The national dish of the Philippines — chicken thighs braised in a tangy-savory mix of soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, bay leaves, and black pepper until the meat is fall-off-the-bone tender and the sauce is thick and glossy. Simple, deeply flavorful, and even better the next day.

Chicken and Mushroom Julienne with chicken, mushrooms and onion — Russia recipe

Appetizers and Sandwiches

Chicken and Mushroom Julienne

Julienne in Russian cooking is not a way of cutting vegetables: it is the name of a hot appetizer (жюльен, zhulyen), chicken and mushrooms in cream sauce baked under cheese in small individual cocotte dishes. The word comes from French, where it means thin strips, but in Russia it stuck to this dish, a popular item on Soviet restaurant menus. You boil the chicken, sauté the mushrooms, make the sauce, fill the dishes and bake; start to finish takes about an hour.

Chicken Liver Pâté with chicken liver, bacon and butter — France recipe

Chicken Liver Pâté

Chicken liver pâté is a smooth, buttery spread for toast: livers cooked with bacon, onion and carrot, then blended with more butter and a splash of milk. Cook the livers until the centre reaches 70°C and holds it for 2 minutes, then stop — longer frying makes the pâté grainy and bitter.

Chuka Seaweed Salad with wakame, sesame oil and rice vinegar — Japan recipe

🇯🇵JapanMedium

Salads

Chuka Seaweed Salad

Chuka is a seaweed salad served as a cold starter in sushi restaurants outside Japan, made here from rehydrated dried wakame leaves in a sesame-soy dressing. The name is misleading: 'chuka' (中華) means 'Chinese-style' in Japanese and describes the dressing, not a type of seaweed. The seaweed is wakame, sold dried as cut wakame (カットわかめ). The dried strands soak in cold water until silky, then get tossed with rice vinegar, chili paste, and grated ginger. It comes together in under 15 minutes and keeps well chilled for a day or two.

Cloud Bread (Egg White Bread) with large eggs and full fat cream cheese — USA recipe

Cloud Bread (Egg White Bread)

Cloud bread is not really bread — it is a whipped egg white and cream cheese round that bakes into something light, slightly crispy on the outside, and soft inside. Zero flour, zero gluten, near-zero carbs without the honey. Popular on keto and low-carb diets as a bun substitute, but also works as a base for mini pizzas, a light breakfast with berries, or a soup accompaniment. The technique is the whole recipe.
