Summary: The only cookbook you will ever need!
Review: this is one of the best cookbooks i have ever owned, and i own A LOT of them.I recently started doing Atkins so i bought this. My very fit husband and my 4yr old daughter love the dinners i have made from the recipies. There have been a few dinners that i have served over rice or noodles for the carb eaters in the house, but it wasn't really all that necessary. these recipies are perfect for the whole family. The recipies are quick, easy and casual. Many dinners i choose to cook i will have all the ingrediants in the house. This is not the old fashioned "diet food" your used to. This is truly worth buying!

Summary: One of the best low carb books I have
Review: I bought this book hoping for a few good recipes, but everything I have made from this book is great, easy to fix and satisfying. These are great recipes for working cooks who can't take hours to cook something. The author understands that all ingredients are not available to all people and she offers suggestions for substitutions. The only think I wish the book has is a spiral binding because it is hard to keep it open in the kitchen :) Maryanne

Summary: A VERY useable book!
Review: This is the BEST low carb cookbook I have. I am so pleased with it - I think if you are serious about low carbing, this book is a must have. Reading Dana's writings are like talking with your friend; easy to understand, down to earth, and humorous! If you, like me, have gotten low carb cookbooks with weird recipes of things you would never eat, then have no fear, Dana is here! The recipes are easy to follow, with foods you will actually eat, not wonder where you are going to get the ingredients for. I can't say enough about this book - just buy it!

Summary: Low Carb=High Success
Review: I had been flirting with buying this book for some time, and after three months of dithering, I took the plunge. This has some great recipes and they are easy to prepare. No matter what low carb plan you are on, this book will fit in with it.
I am a Somersizer and I have allergies; but I don't find it at all difficult to make substitutions or deletions. These recipes are what real people make at home. I have all of Suzanne Somers' books and credit her with a 70 pound weight loss. I will buy every book that she publishes- they are visually beautiful, and have some terrific ideas. But Suzanne's books are the ones I read like novels, and to get ideas from. Somers' recipes are tricky- the directions are not always good at producing the expected results. You sometimes end up going to her web site to find out what others have changed to get the desired results. In some cases, it's more time and more steps.
Even though I am an experienced cook, I like something I know I won't have trouble with. This book is perfect for me and for everyone else. It's everyday food that you can serve to your family and guests with confidence. My husband was flipping through this right after I got it, and he was impressed. He even picked out some recipes for me to make. That's unusual for him! He doesn't usually show any interest in my cookery books. Or in any of my books. The cover is eye-catching and inviting, the writing style is homey, chatty, and informative. If you only buy one low carb book, buy this one.
I also bought her first book, How I Gave Up My Low Fat Diet And Lost Forty Pounds. It is a nice companion piece to this book, and very informative. It isn't necessary to have both of the books, but I'm betting that if you buy one, you will want the other. I wish I had bought Dana's books a long time ago. There are some fabulous recipes in every category. Give this book a try, and a place of honor on your book shelves. It's a keeper. I could only give this book 5 stars, but it's definitely a 10.

Summary: Every on a Low Carb WOE needs this book
Review: I have been low carbing 2 years with outstanding results and have purchased many low carb cook books. This is by far the best one I have seen to date. Best information and recipes.
After the holidays, I was finding it hard to lay off the junk foods, now I know I will be able to jump back in and enjoy eating every bit of it.
Thanks Dana, you have outdone yourself.

Summary: Wow! This makes losing weight a pleasant reality
Review: I had heard how great this book was but had to see for myself and I'm very impressed. I have never read a recipe book cover-to-cover before now. Dana Carpender has a refreshing way of approaching low-carb eating, cooking, and sharing her talents. I can't wait to try the next recipe!

Summary: What a delightful, useful, and witty book!
Review: When one opts for a low-carb lifestyle, it's easy to go into the kitchen lost as to what to prepare. This book is wonderful...it changed the way I looked at cooking. Every recipe I've tried has been great and even better than that, my boyfriend (who isn't on a low-carb diet and is a picky eater) is enjoying the recipes as well! The recipes are practical. Some of the baked goods involve ingredients that can be tricky to find...but for the most part, one can make any of these dishes with foods they have around the house. I cannot praise this book enough. It is by far the best and most useful low-carb I've found.
