Summary: Can't do without this book!
Review: As a carb addict, this book is invaluable to me! It makes a Low-Carb lifestyle EASY! I have the Eat Yourself Thin Like I Did: Quick and Easy Low Carb Cookbook, too - I highly recommend both! Many ingredients are available through the website www.low-carb-cookbooks.com, which is nice if your local grocer doesn't cater to the low carb folks!

Summary: Artificial cooking
Review: Disappointing. No single recipe in this book is based on natural ingredients. And I am not talking about Splenda. Each recipe contains prefabricated shake or pudding mixes.

Summary: Fabulous Desserts
Review: I just received my copy of Nancy's latest book Fabulous Desserts, and can't wait to try these low carbohydrate variations of my favorite recipes. Nancy uses everyday ingredients and simply and clearly guides you through making these desserts. There are examples of low carb pie crusts that can be adapted to your favorite recipies. Recipes use some of the common sweetners, such as Splenda and Stevia, and the recipes range from chocolate to custards to pies. Nancy, hats off to you for another successful cookbook !

Summary: Awesome Recipes and a Must Buy Cookbook!!!
Review: I purchased this cookbook in hopes of finally statisfying my sweet tooth while on a low-carb diet. I followed the recipes but initially used the shake mix I had in the pantry. The results were less than what I had hoped for. However, after contacting the author, I discovered heaven! She advised me that I MUST follow the exact brand and type of ingredients, including the shake mix called for in the recipes. WHAT A DIFFERENCE - I will be eating desserts again thanks to this wonderful cookbook!!!

Summary: Incredible, Incredible, Incredible!
Review: I received my copy of this low carb dessert cookbook thinking that if was even half as good as Eat Yourself Thin Like I Did, I'd be happy. The recipes I've tried so far have been INCREDIBLE! I was just amazed at the Vanilla and Chocolate Cookie crusts. They only took me 5 minutes from start to finish and I had them in the oven. The aroma was heavenly and the pie crusts looked just beautiful when baked. Then came the true test. I decided to make the Banana Peanut Butter Pie filling with the Vanilla Cookie crust and the Grasshopper Pie filling with the Chocolate pie crust. I had both pies made and in the refrigerator in about 30 minutes. After they had chilled I just couldn't wait any longer. Every bite was just FABULOUS! They are without a doubt, the most wonderful low carb dessert recipes I've made. A few days later I made the low carb sugar cookies. Again, the simple ingredients allowed me to have cookies in the oven baking in 5 minutes. After the cookies chilled I tried them and was amazed. Not only did they have the same texture as the real thing but they tasted identical to a sugar cookie. Another important thing to me is ingredients. The main ingredient used to make a lot of these recipes I was able to get at my local...store. It's about time someone came up with a low carb dessert cookbook that is easy to use and the ingredients are affordable and easy to get and the recipes taste FANTASTIC! I especially like the Sources page with locations, phone numbers and websites, making it easy to find products. This is the best low carb dessert book I now own and the others I've purchased (and I have them all) are now in the bottom draw in my kitchen. Great job to the author on this low carb cookbook!

Summary: Not recommended
Review: I was anxious to try many of the recipes in this book as the descriptions made them seem almost too good to believe. Well, as they say, if it seems to good to be true than it probably is. The first thing one will need to do if they plan to try the recipes in this book is find a good source for Carb solutions shake mix as it is the favored flour substitute in most recipes. I found the claim that mixing Carb solutions vanilla shake mix with butter, vanilla, splenda and an egg would produce sugar cookies that tasted just like the real stuff hard to believe. Alas, I was right. They have a taste and texture nothing like real sugar cookies and I would hesitate to try any of the other cookie recipes using essentially the same ingredients. I was disappointed in this cookbook and would not recommend it.

Summary: Great recipes!
Review: Since beginning low-carb eating, I have found it difficult to find good dessert recipes that I could share with my family and friends. Nancy's cookbook has solved that problem for me. My Dad is a diabetic and now I can make desserts that even he can enjoy.

Summary: Eat Yourself Slim Low Carb Cookbook
Review: This is a great book. The author has combined together in a clear and simple format some of the best and easiest recipes I have seen for low carb eating. The recipes are quick to make and delicious to taste. One of my favorites was a Ruben Lasagnea. This conbines corned beef, swill cheese and sour cream for a blended taste. The recipes are well laid out and it is easy to find variations on your favorite recipes. The ingredients are simple and found in most kitchens. I highly recommend this book !

Summary: Grasshopper pie was awesome
Review: This is an awesome cookbook. Everything in it is pretty easy. The grasshopper pie recipe was in Low Carb Energy last month and after I tried it I knew I had to get the book. True, most of the recipes use Carb Solutions Shake mix, but it sells at Wal-Mart. You can also use different shake mixes than the ones in the book. The Keto chocolate shake mix makes awesome crust for the Grasshopper pie. All of the recipes I have tried are good and easy. One jar of Carb Solutions shake mix is 8.49 at Wal-Mart. You can't get much cheaper than that.
