Low-Carb Cocktails : All the Fun and Taste without the Carbs

Rating:
Summary: Another great book by the author!
Review: Highly recommended book by writers who actually know about food and cooking! Much better than the book by Markham who seems to miss the whole point.

Rating:
Summary: persnickety
Review: I'm not sure why negative feedback was posted on 10/30/04 against Markham's book...when his book was released on 11/02/04. Sounds like someone needs to get on with their life!

Summary: A recipe book of more than sixty low carbohydrate cocktails
Review: Low-carb Cocktails is a pocket-sized recipe book of more than sixty low carbohydrate cocktails for those who enjoy drinks but are mindful of their waistlines. Including party favorites such as 4-carb Pina Colada and 7-carb Margarita, holiday treats such as 4-carp Eggnog and 6-carb Champagne Cocktail, and also featuring ultra-low carb or non-alcoholic versions of many recipes, Low-Carb Cocktails is easy-to-follow, quick-mix book especially needed in an era oversaturated with excessively fattening foods. All listed recipies are a snap to prepare, and include a calorie count as well as a net carb listing.

Summary: Great for Anyone Looking to Have Fun with Less Sugar
Review: My Mom has diabetes and although her doctors told her she could have a "glass of wine", now and then, she wasn't sure about all the other fun drinks out there. Now she is - Marlene and Chuck Koch not only do a great job of explaining the in's and out's of carbs and alcohol - but also have created a huge assortment of wonderful concoctions my Mom (and of course I) can enjoy - guilt-free! With both carbs and calories listed, there are so many to enjoy. I immediately made some of the Mock Kahlua over the weekend and was amazed. With only 2 grams of carb (and no sugar), instead of the usual 14 grams per ounce, it tastes even better than the real stuff. Sipping on a White Russian (only 3 grams of carb) was all it took to convince us both what a fun and great book this is. Last, if you know anyone cutting carbs, sugar (or even calories) this would make a terrific little gift!
