Summary: One of my favorites
Review: One of my most-used cookbooks. Ingredients are easy to find and preparation is really easy. Excellent side dish recipes too. Pictures would make it even better.

Summary: Don't let the cover fool you
Review: So far, I have tried out several recipes, all with great success. The directions are simple, concise, and easy to follow and the food is just amazing (esp. recommend the Polish-style beef with sauerkraut). The only negative thing that I would say is it needs pictures. . .Badly. The cover gives a false sense of visual culinary exploration meaning I wanted cool pictures and didn't get none! Call me a shallow consumer, but a good cookbook isn't great until it satisfies my eyes as well as my stomach.

Summary: Love that Cabbage Soup!
Review: The cabbage soup is "duck soup" to prepare in quantity, freezes well, and is delightful for quick repasts when the rest of the family is scarfing carbos! Worth the price by itself.

Summary: Happy Eating
Review: This book has helped me to stay with my low carb new eating habit, I refuse to call it a diet. I have found the recipes easy to prepare, taste wonderful and keep me satisfied with low carbs. The salad dressings alone, make this a must have in my kitchen.

Summary: A life saver
Review: This book is a remarkable find for me. It was recommended to me by a friend a couple of months ago and it has changed my life. I am a type II diabetic and have recently settled on the low carb way of life to control my diabetes, partly due to this book. With this cookbook I can now have real foods like ketchup, French Dressing, 1000 Island Dressing and Worcestershire sauce and, unlike other low carb cookbooks, I have a very good estimate of how many carbs I've had. Many of the meals, such as the Quiche Lorraine Frittata and Caesar Salad (one of my personal favorites), can be fixed in 20 minutes or thereabouts. Most of the rest of them take no longer than a normal meal to prepare, 45 minutes or less. The book has also brought my family closer together because now I don't have to prepare two separate meals, one for me and one for them. My teenagers are especially fond of the pizza, the Pepperoni Chicken and the various Bar-B-Ques. I'll be ordering several copies for everyone I know who needs to be eating low carb.

Summary: Everyday Low Carb Cookery - Revised Edition
Review: This book is the answer to anyone who is serious about going on a low Carbohydrate diet. Mr. Haas has taken the bland and added enough "spice" to make these recipes good enough to serve to friends. I especially enjoy the mixture of cusines. Highly recommended......

Summary: Great cookbook, even for non-low carbers
Review: This is an amazing cookbook. I have made at least one recipe from it each day since getting it a month ago. The recipes feature an incredible variety of flavors and cuisines, yet doable from ingredients in your pantry and freezer; these on-hand ingredients are transformed through the cooking techniques in the recipes to yield very complex flavors. My non-low carb family has enjoyed the recipes as well. There is also great personality in the intros to the recipes which makes the book entertaining to read. Last but not least, a frequent feature of the recipes (although optional in many cases) is hot pepper flavorings. The pepper buzz is a welcome alternative to the sugar high that we recovering carb addicts sometimes still miss.

Summary: My favorite cookbook
Review: This low-carb cookbook has been one of three that I use for all my cooking, and I found it excellent. One of the best features is that every recipe has a breakdown of carb count for each ingredient. For instance, 1t. garlic powder is 2 carbs! I am able to lower the carb count of each recipe simply by adjusting the ingredients, something no other cookbook offers. There are tons of wonderful pork, chicken, beef, and seafood main course recipes. I have cooked over half of them, and enjoyed all of them. Unlike McCullough's book, which uses unusual items and is a gormet cookbook, this is a down-to-earth, quick meals, regular cookbook of food that my whole family likes. I lost 25 pounds in 5 months using the recipes in this cookbook, and my other two favorites: Lauri's Low-Carb Cookbook, and Back to Protein by Doyen, and staying under 40 carbs a day.
