Customer Reviews

I've never been a good cook but this book has changed that

I have many recipe books but this one I keep going back to. The recipes are easy to follow but I was looking for something fast and great tasting. This book has it. The absolute best recipes are Filet Mignon with Portobello Sauce, Veg. Stuffed Chicken and the Turkey Enchiladas and they can all be prepared from start to finish in 30 minutes. Some of the recipes are not low carb but this is still a great book.

Maybe not too low carb... but

Delicious, healthy recipes! I have tried many recipes from this book and continue to go back to it. Most "low carb" book have no respect for actual calories and are full of full saturated fat dishes ("oh no, not the tomato, but pile on the butter!" kind of philosophy). This one has low cal dishes that are easy to prepare and always come out tasty. Easy every day ingredients, full nutrition info, broken into categories (eggs, meat, seafood...). Great book. Highly recommend!

Only Cookbook You'll Ever Need

This is an excellent book! Easy to read, 7 pages of unbiased useful scientific information, carb counter chart, non-extremist, 30 pages of all day meal plans, baking tips sheet, and 200 pages of really great recipes in 8 categories such as appetizers, salads, desserts, side dishes and different meats. All this and it's inexpensive. (I plan to give it as gifts to my friends, too.) Helps you balance carbs/protein/fats at any age or activity level. I hope this can counteract the very lame negative comments others have made about this wonderful book. Check it out for yourself!

This is SENSIBLE

Jeez, the recipes might have a smidgen of flour or cornmeal BUT they are not laden with mayo, high fat meats, and tons of cheese like the other low carb cookbooks I have seen. If you are interested in cutting back on carbs without clogging your arteries, this cookbook is AWESOME!!!!!!!

An excellent cookbook

My mother was recently diagnosed with diabetes, and I needed a low-carbohydrate cookbook to use when she visits for dinner. I bought this one, based on the reputation of Better Homes and Gardens cookbooks. I was very impressed. All of the recipes I tried have been delicious, and the carbohydrate counts for each recipe are clearly listed. The recipes are so good I even cook some of them for myself, when my mother isn't visiting!
