Summary: The Schwarzbein Principle Cookbook
Review: I've subscribed to a lifestyle change following low-carb eating and recipes. With over 35 years of meal preparation under my belt, I wanted a cookbook to give me unique ideas as well as gourmet-quality recipes. While this cookbook offered interesting combinations, I was extremely disappointed. Yes, there are 300 recipes, but the same preparation and ingredients are used over and over again ad nauseum. Different meat, new recipe name, same ingredients. Very repetitive. It is, however a very good beginners cookbook. As long as you have garlic, green pepper, cilantro, and a few other "basics" you will enjoy this book; if you're looking for ingredients beyond those you've used for years, look somewhere else, you probably already know how to put these dishes together yourself. I would call this book a great primer for the beginning cook who doesn't cook by experience, rather, needs a step by step guidelines. An experienced cook will be disapointed.

Summary: I LOVE THIS BOOK!
Review: Since I wrote a review for the program book I couldn't resist writing one for this cookbook as well. How does a single mom of a 4 year old who works fulltime maintain a healthy eating program and lose weight? With this book! When I get home at the end of the day and have no brain left I can still make a great meal and feel good about it. Compared to other low carb cookbooks, this one is very well laid out. The recipes are very simple with simple ingredients but the outcome is something you could serve to company. Each recipe lists how many servings it represents and the carb count per serving. And while this might not matter to many of you, the book is written in a font that is actually large enough to read! I have about 1/2 dozen low carb cookbooks but this is the one that stays on top of the counter!

Summary: If you could only own one cookbook, this would be it!
Review: The chef who created these recipes, Evelyn Jacob Jaffe has a superb grasp of the concept of eating balanced meals. These recipes take us back to pre-fake food days, when people ate three square meals a day of delicious real foods. The best thing about both this cookbook and her Schwarzbein Vegetarian cookbook, is that the recipes are so easy to make. All of the recipes have carbohydrate and protein breakdowns so there is no guessing. If you could only own one cookbook it would be either this or her Vegetarian cookbook. Using these recipes for one year will give you a completely new, beautiful body. I have been using these recipes since the book came out and I am excited with the results. Thanks to Evelyn Jacob Jaffe and The Schwarzbein Principle.

Summary: LOVE IT!!
Review: The only thing I don't like about this cookbook, is no pictures. Otherwise, it has great recipes. The salad dressing recipes alone are worth the price...
The reason this cookbook is so good, is because it has recipes that fit into her way of eating exactly. No more trying to modify recipes you already have and don't know how to change. I love that it gives lots of healthy meal ideas, since I'm so used to high-carb meals, I needed some new recipes.
If you like Schwarzbein, you'll want this cookbook too!!!

Summary: My New Favorite
Review: The Schwarzbein Principle Cookbook has become my new favorite (and I have collected cookbooks for years!) I have tried more than fifty of the recipes, and most have been rated "excellent" or "great" by my family and friends. I disagree with the reader who said that experienced cooks would be disappointed. I have been cooking for over thirty years, and I love the recipes in this cookbook from appetizers, soups, and salads to main dishes, sauces, and vegetables. In the eight months that I have been following this program, I have lost more than 30 pounds and my sister has lost more than 60 -- all while eating delicious meals prepared from the recipes in this cookbook. My only question is: Where can you find nitrite-free bacon?

Summary: Schwarzbein Principle
Review: To much reading before getting to the diet. I would have perfered to have the diet explained in the begining of the book and why it works near the end.
