New Feature - Dieter's Corner

If you look above, you can see that we added a new feature to our "menu" - Dieter's[...]
The Shabbos Morning Seudah
It has taken me several weeks, but I am learning all the time. This past Shabbos, we again enjoyed the Slow Cooker Mediterranean Stew, which I found on All recipes.com, and modified to fit Dukan guidelines. Two weeks ago, we had a stew which was more Italian in nature, with tomatoes and green beans, and […]
“Cheat a Little, Not a Lot” Shabbos Desserts
Although fruit may not be allowed during the Cruise Phase, it can take many weeks to get through this phase, and the dieter’s family will invariably want a dessert at the end of a Shabbos meal. Dessert is one of those things which in our family, for example, sets the actual food part of the […]
The Little Things That Add So Much
O.k., we’ve established that it is not so hard to find Dukan friendly fish, chicken and meat recipes, though I would like to share some of my favorites with you, bs”d, in due time. Why not share the wealth? And we’d love to receive some of your favorites, as well. But we start the Shabbos […]
More Shabbos Oneg–and some Simchas Yom Tov, too!
I’m sorry I haven’t posted in a while–I’m trying to build up a store of recipes to share with you, but what with Purim, a vort we made for some great graduates of Meor Maryland, where my son is involved in outreach, etc., I’ve been a bit overwhelmed. I have been cooking, and trying out some […]
My Thursday Night Inspiration
Since I am deep into Shabbos preaparations on Thursday night, I cannot bother with a complicated recipe for supper. I told my husband we will just use our galette ration and make cold cut sandwiches–but I read something on another Dukan site which got me thinking……..so tonight, I made a cold cut wrap, using one very […]
Shabbos Without Cholent, But With Something Heartwarming
I think that if you are anything like me, your biggest concern with getting Dukan onto our Shabbos table will be the cholent. Most of us have at least some fish recipes which fit into the Dukan diet, or are easily modified. Same goes for chicken, and even vegetables and salads. More difficult are kugels–we’ll […]
The Third Food Category
I do not refer here to the main food groups–proteins (cheers!) which in our case will include the group of dairy products, grains (boo!…..or boo hoo! at their conspicuous absence), vegetables, (on again, off again), and fruits (sigh–we’ve got a ways to go before we get to eat one of these luscious little gifts from […]
Our Dukan cream cheese
Here in Israel, we were unable to find a 0% cream cheese–1/2% “gevina levana” (translates as “white cheese”)was the closest we could come, but I’ve always had the problem of whatever percent gevina levana being rather watery, not the thick spreadable consistency we were used to in the States, where we never feared
Our Pareve Oat Bran Galette
Making the galettes pareve gives you the possibility of making meat sandwiches. (we like to add mustard, pickles, and we’ll talk about other toppings some other time.) I based my galettes on the original Dukan recipe, which is, naturally, milchig–fear not, we persevered. I like to use two whole eggs and two egg whites, or four whole […]
