Fabulous Lo-Carb Cuisine

Rating:
Summary: Simple but delicious recipes
Review: This is a cookbook of "normal" recipes, not "guests are coming what can I make to impress them" recipes. As the author says in the prologue (and you MUST read the introductory passages, they contain vital information on how serving sizes and carb counts are computed), these are the recipes that she and her family use day in and day out. They are all fast, simple, and straightforward. Time saving tips are also included. And (with the exception of the sloppy joes) I've found them to be good-to-excellent ("I'd make this again" to "Can I make this again tomorrow?"). For the kitchen clueless, there are also some helpful "goes well with xxx on page xx" notes to make assembling a complete meal a breeze. I'd prefer if there was a general index in the back for main ingredients ... the "xxx was on sale at the store, now what can I make with it" syndrome ... but the book is thin enough that scrolling through the table of contents or paging through the sections is a doable search.
