Embark on a culinary journey and make these simple Georgian badridshani - aubergine rolls filled with walnut paste and garnished with pomegranate seeds. They are nutty, flavoursome and simply delicious. Treat the aubergine slices first with some salt, which helps draw the water out of the aubergine, so they won't become mushy after grilling. You can take Badridzhanis to your next gathering as finger food or serve them as an appetiser at a dinner party. In Georgia, these walnut stuffed aubergine rolls are traditionally enjoyed with bread and white wine, or served as a hearty side dish with grilled meat.

Juniper berries have been used as medicine for centuries and in the kitchen. Delicious and healthy juniper berries are usually added to sauces for game dishes, fish stock, sauerkraut, or pickled vegetables, but they are rarely used in baking. I have used juniper berries in a very unusual way: as a spice together with some pink peppercorns for these delicious lemon cookies. The ground juniper berries give these cookies a sweet, aromatic and completely surprising flavour - be sure to try them! They are particularly tasty for the holidays, but of course also all year round, and go wonderfully with coffee, tea or hot chocolate.

If you know kohlrabi mainly as a salad or side dish or you simply nibble it plain and raw, then it's about time to change that. The preparation of this kohlrabi gratin is really easy, but of course you first have to peel the kohlrabi and then cut it into thin slices. I boiled them in a pot of salted water for a few minutes before layering them like a roof tile into a greased casserole and baked at very hight temperature for 15 minutes. You can also bake them without boiling them first, but then you need to cook them longer with lower oven temperature.

These marinated eggs are soft/hard boiled eggs soaked in a savory Asian marinade made with gluten free soya sauce, coconut sugar, rice vinegar, broth, spring onion, garlic, ginger and sesame seeds, transforming them into the perfect low carb snack or enjoying them over some steamed rice or noodles. Soak the eggs for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight or up to 24 hours. I wouldn't leave the eggs in the marinade for longer than 24 hours as they can get pretty rubbery. Store the eggs in an air-tight container for a week.

Endives and thinly sliced apple are tossed with fresh herbs and toasted pine nuts in a simple vinaigrette for a light, crunchy and refreshing winter salad. The bitter flavour and crisp texture of Belgian endive pairs particularly well with sweet tart apple and nutty pinenuts. I have also added some chicken skin cracklings, a delicious by-product of making schmaltz, for extra flavour and crunch. You can use croutons or bacon instead.

You’ll find 15 not-eggy and delicious bread recipes plus one bonus pancake recipe that can satisfy your carb craving every single time.

1. Keto Sandwich Loaf

   Bread is probably by far the food many people miss the most when switching to a keto way of eating, but there are great alternatives. You can try using finely ground blanched almond to make this sandwich loaf. (Check out this one that I baked with ground pumpkin seeds, chia and flaxseeds.) It seriously looks and tastes like a real thing, and still keeps you in ketosis. You can order psyllium powder (not the whole psyllium) at amazon. Try not to over mix the dough, or the bread will become gummy.

These panseared scallops are simple, easy, and just so quick and flavorful. Make sure to thoroughly dry the scallops. This step is crucial for creating a crust and so the scallops don’t steam from their own moisture. You want to keep an eye on them the entire time while they are cooking. You can easily overcook and make them hard and chewy. The best pan for searing scallops is a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet, but you can use non-stick skillet too, just make sure it can stand high heat as you don't want to cook scallops at low heat or they will become rubber before even developing a beautiful caramelized crust.

Dhansak is a popular Indian dish with it's roots in Persian cuisine. Traditionally, dhansak curry is made with mutton or goat, lentils and vegetables. This recipe uses eggplants without meat, but is still bursting with flavour and sure to become a favourite if you enjoy curry. You can use whatever vegetables you like, pumpkin, carrot, or cauliflower all work great. Dhansak is normally quite mild, but if you prefer really hot curries then it is easy to spice it up.

Marzipan, rose water and almonds - these are the key ingredients for traditional Frankfurt Bethmännchen. Sounds marvellous, doesn't it? For those who don't know them, Bethmännchen are the jazzed up Marzipankartoffeln / marzipan potatoes (Christmas without marzipan is like Lübeck without the Holsten Gate - simply unimaginable for many German) from Frankfurt am Main. In fact, the name Bethmännchen is derived from the Frankfurt Bethmann family and they are a must during the Christmas season. Another typical feature of the Frankfurt marzipan speciality is that exactly three almond halves are pressed into the balls before baking. They give the Bethmännchen their typical appearance and additional crunch. Store them in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
