If you are just starting a low carb diet/lifestyle you may feel confused with which low carb flours to use. You may never have used any of them before and how to use them properly can be daunting. Low carb flours do not behave like wheat flour, and how to use them in your old regular high carb recipes is a common question. Of course you may also be interested, or want to know more about them. If that is the case then Libby at 'Ditch The Carbs' site has a very good guide, and you can read it here 

Low carb flours are versatile, and make very good pie crusts!

It is almost impossible to get almond flour here but I have seen coconut flour, that sounds very interesting and I will give it a try.
