Review: Finally, a truly simple recipe book with easy to follow directions. Not to mention that the ingredients are few and mostly what you have in your refrigerator (really)! Since cooking with this book, my husband has lost 20 pounds and I have lost over 10 pounds! It is so easy to follow and the authors are humorous to boot! Cooking has never been more fun. Our kids even love my meals, and they are 4 and 2! I do not have them on a lo carb diet, but when they will eat salmon, I must be doing something right. We also LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the Fauxpototoes (cauliflower), I can't say that enough. BUY THIS BOOK!

Summary: Dana Carpender ROCKS!
Review: I am a cookbook junkie. I'm sure I have in excess of 300, all kinds, and I have to say, this is one of my TOP favorites! Most cookbooks I will read through, then put on the shelf, and that's it. Not this one! I have cooked a number of recipes from Dana's 500 Low Carb Recipes and have been very happy with the results.In addition, Dana's anecdotes and amusing writing style really add to the enjoyment. I plan to buy her newest, "15 Minute Low Carb Recipes", in the near future. I also own her "How I Gave Up My Low Fat Diet and Lost 40 Pounds" book and find it a great resource! If you're doing low carb, or just interested in watching your carb intake a bit, I'd recommend any of Dana's fine books.

Summary: Music to the Mouth
Review: What if I told you that you could compose the most beautiful symphony ever written, but it wasn't to be heard: it was to be tasted! That's precisely what this book did for me and more. Every recipe is like the 1812 overture as you are enjoying the quiet mood and pleasantry of the well-made meal, and then BAM! the orchestra (food)hits you with a cymbal crash of taste! I absolutely recommend this book to anyone that's even remotely serious or enjoys cooking. Excellientante! Deliciausicotioso!

Summary: Delivers Crock-Pot Full of Easy, Good Recipes
Review: 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.

Summary: An EXCELLENT low-carb cookbook
Review: 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.

Summary: Great Helpful Book!
Review: This is a wonderful cookbook for low carb dieters. Many "common" recipes transformed into low carb goodies. Good explanations of ingredients and instructions for reading labels, measuring, etc. I expect to be using it a lot! Fun to read as well!

Summary: A view from the other side of the aisle
Review: I'm not on a low-carb diet myself, but many of my friends (and frequent dinner guests) are. I picked up this book because one can only grill so many steaks and salmon fillets before one gets bored - I can only imagine what it'd be like if those were my only options every night! This book has been valuable for me. It's allowed some variety in what I cook for my friends and so far everything I've tried has turned out well. While I don't agree that mashed cauliflower is a perfect substitute for mashed potatoes, the recipe variations show that this is a pretty decent dish in its own right.

Summary: Dealing with the breakfast problem on Low-Carb diets
Review: You wouldn't think breakfast would be a problem on the Atkins or any low-carb diet, but after weeks of eggs for brekkie, it gets a bit old. And if you are eating with non-low-carb family members who are chowing down stacks of fluffy pancakes, crunching toast, well, it gets a bit annoying. This book solves the issue of boredom with eggs, meat and fish. You get substitutes for ketchup, protein pancakes (thank heavens), a decent cinnamon raisin bread, peanut butter cookies, strawberry desserts and some entrees to spice up the fact you probably fell into the "grilled meat and salad" rut that I did. If you are on Atkins or other low-carb diets, this will keep you from getting annoyed at the very smell of someone else's toast in the morning.
