Summary: Great
Review: This cookbook has no pictures, but you will not need them. This is one of the best cookbooks (of any kind) with easy to follow instructions and a wide variety of interesting foods. If you like eggs, you will appreciate the large collection of omelet and scrambles recipes. The collection of beef, pork and chicken recipes is somewhat smaller, but good. You will find how to create every kind of sauce, dressing, topping, plus many deserts. Some recipes are as simple as two ingredients and some are much more elaborate. It is a cookbook for the rest of us who are not professional gourmet cooks. The first part of the book before the recipes is almost worth the price of the whole book.

Summary: Get It - Then Go To The Kitchen
Review: I have several low-carb cookbooks on my shelf. This cookbook is the most comprehensive, varied and is the easiest to use. 1. There are many recipes for delicious meals, snacks and desserts that I'd never thought of. 2. The ingredients are not hard to find to make these dishes. It is important not to keep eating the same low carb foods over and over again, because it can lead to boredom, and that can lead to slipping. In this sense this recipe book can get the low-carber to think "outside of the box," when it comes to what we eat. For the number of recipes and the price, this can't be beat. Here are some examples of great tasting meals for you and your family that are in it: mouth-watering marinades, vegetable lasagna, pizza with without the crust, all-meat chili, cheesecakes, and even coffee cakes. Spaghetti squash to chicken wings, it's written in a friendly easy to read style set in the kitchen. Pick up the book, then head to the kitchen.

Summary: Absolutely amazing!
Review: This is my first low-carb cookbook and I must say that recipes are easy to do and so tasteful you will not believe it! I am definitely going to stay low-carb for a long time. My first two trials were Heroin Wings (but I used the lower legs instead) and Creamed Spinach (to which I added zucchini). I was really impresed by the simplicity of the process and by the richness of taste.
I highly recommend it!

Summary: Awesome Book!!!!
Review: This book has it all: practical advice on low-carbing, realistic and delicious recipes (not too many ingredients nor too time consuming), descriptions of ingredients and where to find them, lots of variety, etc. I have made several recipes and all have been delicious. My husband doesn't really like hot and sour soup in restaurants, but loved the batch I made from the recipe in this book! I have made two of the low carb breads (I did have to purchase some ingredients online) and both were delicious. The texture is a little chewier than bread made from flour, but toasted it is great -especially for about 5 carbs per slice vs. over 20 in a normal piece of bread!! This book is SO worth the money!! If you are a beginner at low carb cooking this is a MUST! If you have been low carbing for a while, this book has lots of ideas to put some variety in your diet!!

Summary: Best In Its Class
Review: Struggling to figure out how to keep to your low-carb diet but still enjoy food (plus feed your family)?This book is the one you need. Recipes like Pumpkin Cheesecake (great for breakfast with some bacon on the side, by the way), Vegetable Lasagna (tip: add some strips of zucchini cut longwise with a veggie peeler for faux lasagna noodles), and frittatas keep us feeling happy, full, and not deprived. My family has enjoyed many of these recipes (had to arm-wrestle my 16-year-old nephew for the cheesecake - I finally taught him to make it himself). Some of the recipes - particularly baked goods - may require some nonstandard ingredients. Most of these are available in health food stores, natural food stores, or, if all else fails, online. Dana has a breezy, enjoyable writing style that makes you feel like you're in the kitchen with your best friend, and none of the recipes are beyond the average cook. If you can only get one low-carb cookbook, this is the one to buy!

Summary: Best LC Cookbook Ever!
Review: I have just about every low carb cookbook ever written--seriously! This one is by far my favorite!!! I've made many of the recipes in this book and all were fabulous. It was a lifesaver for my first LC Christmas this year. If you are low carbing, this is a MUST have!

Summary: Low carb cookbook that you will definitely use!!!!
Review: I own quite a few low carb cookbooks and I rank this as my favorite in terms of taste, ease of use and value. Boy, for the amount I paid for this through Amazon, I got a whopping 500 recipes!!! I have tried a few recipes and have been very pleased with this cookbook. I love the all-meat chili (I use it as the meat for my taco salad with sour cream, cheese and lettuce), chicken florentine (was this easy and delicious), and my young son loves the heroin wings. The marinades for chicken are also scrumptious. I look forward to trying more of her recipes. Because of her suggestions, I finally tried spaghetti squash and love it!!! The tips in the book are also very helpful (now I can really make great omelets!). I have yet to try the desserts and breads which do use some specialized ingredients but these are very easy to find in your local health food store or any reputable internet low carb supplier (there are a lot out there) and their prices are reasonable. I just have not had the chance to buy the ingredients but I am raring to dig into one of her chocolate chip cookies! Thank you, Dana, for sharing with us your culinary skills and making low carb an enjoyable and delectable eating lifestyle.

Summary: The BEST Low-Carb Cookbook Out There!
Review: I NEVER write reviews, but I had to with this book! The recipes are easy to follow, use ingredients that are easy to find, and, on top of all that, the food is absolutely delicious! We prepared our Thanksgiving dinner out of this cookbook! Everything from "fake mashed potatoes" to desserts..... This book is great!

Summary: Lots of great recipes
Review: Glad I bought this recipe book before Thanksgiving. I made the pumpkin cheesecake and EVERYONE loved it. I must have spent a couple of hours putting little "stickies" on all the pages for the recipes I plan to make. I was an avid low fat/ high carb chef, so finding a book with all these great recipes will help insure that I continue finding success with my low carb food program. I also recommend buying Dana Carpender's book about her journey in losing 40 lbs and keeping it off. It's a great inspiration for helping me persist in my quest to get healthy and lose weight.
