Low Sugar

The recipes here contain very little to no processed sugar, but there's no lack of delicious flavor.  In fact, most of the recipes on Marc's Recipes contain little to no sugar, and when sugar is an ingredient, evaporated cane juice is recommended.  These dishes have so much flavor, you won't even notice.

Welcome!

I started No Recipes back in 2007 as a place to share original dishes I'd created with friends. It's since evolved into something much bigger than I could have imagined, but as it grew, the focus shifted from inventing dishes to improving classics. In the spirit of how No Recipes began, I'm bringing back my weekly original recipes for all of my supporters and friends!
