Cooking for a family where only one or two people follow keto requires creativity, efficiency, and the base-plus-add-ons approach that makes everyone happy with one cooking session.
Every family meal should have a base protein and vegetables that everyone eats. The carb-eaters add rice, pasta, or potatoes on the side. The keto eater skips these and loads up on extra fat or vegetables instead.
Cook 2kg of minced beef with onion and spices — serves as bolognese (over pasta for family, over courgetti for you), cottage pie filling (with potato mash for family, cauliflower mash for you), and stuffed pepper filling.
Roast chicken, slow-cooked pulled pork, and batch-cooked salmon fillets all work for both keto and non-keto family members — it is the accompaniments that differ.
Keto chicken nuggets (almond flour coated), cauliflower cheese, and keto pizza bases topped with usual toppings often appeal to children once they try them.
