(Rating: 5 of 5) |
This is straight forward what it's title suggests-- lots of recipes, 500 of them, for low-carb eaters. It doesnt' give much of the background to low-carb eating, there are other books for that. What it does provide is a nice beginning chapter on ingredients and shopping tips for label reading, brands to look for, etc.Then, recipes. Lots of them in all categories, appetizers to desserts. This is where the book is a benefit. There are simply put an outstanding array of good, simple to fix, delight to eat recipes for family or couples or singles. From a neat "English Muffin" recipe to make from scratch that is outstanding to a great pizza crust, this book has it. She has compiled this collection from many sources, including her own reserach as well as from other's research and cookbooks. Try the likes of: Stewed Chicken With Moroccan Seasonings; Mexicali Meat Loaf; Mu Shu Pork with low carb tortillas; Asian Chicken Salad; Kathy's Peanut Butter Butter Protein Bars; Maria's Flan. Good resource for low-carb cook who wants to plan and prepare some new thing for a menu. One might also check out another great resource: The Good Carb Cookbook.

- An EXCELLENT low-carb cookbook
(Rating: 5 of 5) |
I love this cookbook. There is a huge variety of recipes in all categories. I haven't made a recipe that I don't like. It has made leading a low-carb life style infinitely easier.I love breads and cereals and that is for me the most difficult part of avoiding carbs. The low carb breads that I have tried are great and fill that void extremely well. The hot almond cereal is divine. I was very tired of eggs for breakfast and really missed oatmeal. I love this cereal more than oatmeal and so do my children. That is really the greatest part of this cookbook. The recipes are truly suitable for the entire family. No double dinners with me feeling deprived anymore.

This book was recommended by a friend, and he was RIGHT. I'm not the best cook, and I usually gravitate to cook books that have lots of color pictures. This book has NO pictures - but what it DOES have are lots of very easy, very tasty, very low carb recipes. I'm astounding all of my family and friends with dishes they prefer to higher carb versions. Did I mention I've lost 16 pounds and am NEVER hungry? I LOVE this book!
