500 Low-Carb Recipes: 500 Recipes from Snacks to Dessert, That the Whole Family Will Love

Summary: I LOVE THIS BOOK!
Review: Simply stated, I love this book. I am not a great cook, so when I decided to do low-carb eating, it was challenging for me to find things to eat. I quickly became tired of bunless burgers, and the like!
500 Low-Carb Recipes solved this problem for me. It has delicious recipes in a variety of categories, and most of these are very easy to prepare. My husband has actually said that since I got this book, I've been cooking some really good meals!
The beginning portion of the book is very helpful, with a very thorough section on ingredients, as well as other useful information such as how to determine the usable carb count, low-carb specialty foods available and more. And the recipes! Suffice it to say that there really are recipes for chocolate chip cookies, cheesecakes, breads, etc., that not only taste good, but are healthy!
I am still losing weight and, even more importantly, feeling much better--all while enjoying scrumptious food prepared with this book's recipes.

Summary: Yummy!
Review: I am so glad I found this cookbook. When I bought it, I figured out of the 500 recipes, I would probably find a hand-full I would like. But, that is not the case here. So far, I have only found 1 that I didn't like! (but I think I am the one who messed it up) I have been using this cookbook daily for the last 10 days. I can't give it enough thumbs-up! The Heroin Wings, Fried Cheese Taco Shells, to the Cream Cheese Frosting. This book is an investment, not an expense! She also has an awesome website.

Summary: The best by far
Review: Forget the Dr Atkins cookbooks - if you are looking for low-carb versions of simple, wholesome homecooking, then this is exactly the book for you. The recipes work, and they are well thought-out and explained. The section at the beginning explaining exactly what each low-carb ingredient really is is worth the purchase price alone. The baking section contains the best low-carb breads I have ever tried. An excellent aid to weight loss and healthier living.

Summary: Finally-A Low Carb Diet with Variety!!
Review: Before I purchased this book, low carb dieting for me meant eggs, cheese, and bacon for breakfast; deviled eggs and jello as snacks; and meat and vegetables for lunch and dinner. The diet was so hum-drum, with absolutely no variety. Sure, I brought all of the supplemental cookbooks to the low carb diet books---and the recipes usually required ingredients that were not easy to find. This book changed all of that! There is so much variety in here that it makes it impossible to get bored with low carb dieting!

Summary: Too good to be true?
Review: I am amazed! I have been using this cookbook for 2 weeks - every night and have only found 1 recipe I would not make again! I rank my recipes 1 thru 5 and just that one received a "3". All the others are 4+ or 5! This is better eating than "normal" let alone than "lo-fat"! Even my husband likes it. The Ranch Chicken and Mustard Sauced Ham will replace all other baked chicken or ham steak meals in our house!

Summary: The Best Low-carb book I can find
Review: I have probably most of the low carb books that Amazon[.com] sells. This one is the best. The hardest part of cooking low carb for me is all the recipes with soy. They are virtually tasteless and difficult to get use to. This book while it has some recipes requiring soy, has fantastic recipes without the soy. Many of the recipes are quick and easy but still worth serving to guests. What a treat the desert section is! And you haven't lived until you have Fried Cheese!!!

Rating:
Summary: Excellent choice for quick, easy, good meals
Review: Since using this book almost daily for over a month, I've only found one recipe that didn't turn out excellent (possible user error). Everything tastes wonderful and having this sure has kept me going strong in this new way of eating right. There are also some great personal touches added by the author. I sure hope she does a follow-up!

Summary: a few more recipes under my belt and I will give it 5 stars
Review: I have tried approximately twenty recipes so far and my husband and 4 year old daughter, and myself, have liked them all. The Meatza is a fantastic idea for ex-pizza-holics. The pumpkin cheesecake is great for holidays and guests. A worthwhile addition to any low carb cookbook collection.

Summary: This is an excellent book - highly recommended!
Review: I love this book. It has not been closed since I purchased it. This book makes low-carb living very easy and inspires me to eat healthy. The recipes are great because they mostly use common ingredients you have in your house already. The beginning of the book explains in detail each not-so-common ingredient, so it makes it really easy to go out and purchase these items if you want to.
The book gives carb and fiber count on all recipes. It is very well laid out and easy to read. This is one book that definitely won't be stuffed in my bookshelf with all my other cookbooks.

Summary: Plenty of Variety
Review: Recently purchased this book, so I have only tried a few recipes. So far, so good. The lasagna is now a family favorite. The author understands that low carb does not mean no carb, so there is plenty of flavor in these recipes. I agree with a previous reviewer, the book is hard to keep open on the counter; would be nice if it was in a binder. That is my only criticism however. Great recipe book!!
