About this category
French cooking relies on butter, cream, eggs and slow technique, which overlaps with keto more than almost any other tradition. Sauces like hollandaise are emulsions of egg yolk and butter with no flour involved, so asparagus with hollandaise sauce or eggs Benedict on spinach needs little adaptation. The challenge lies mainly in bread, pastry and flour-thickened sauces.
Braises such as coq au vin with bacon and mushrooms depend on reduction and long cooking for depth, and a duck leg confit turns slowly cooked meat into something crisp and rich. An onion soup gratinated with Gruyère is a bit higher in carbs because onions are the star, so keep the portion moderate and skip the baguette underneath the cheese.
For dessert, crème brûlée with vanilla and erythritol keeps the silky custard and swaps the sugar, though the topping behaves a little differently from sugar under the torch, so give it a moment of patience. Keep good butter, heavy cream, Dijon mustard and fresh herbs such as tarragon and thyme on hand, and much of this kitchen becomes easy to cook at home on a regular evening.
