Customer Reviews

Response to reviewer who complained of no index

I agree it's too bad there's no index in this terrific cookbook, but don't blame the author! As a publishing executive, I can say that it is not the author who decides whether to include an index, but the publisher, unless, of course, the book is self-published (which this is not). Please do yourself a favor and order this book...it's great.

Must have for zoners!

If you are a busy zoner then you will love this book. The recipes are easy to prepare and all the ones I have tried, have been outstanding. Even my picky husband and daughter love them. I like the fact that Mr. Taylor adds suggestions for balancing a meal, if the recipe is not balanced. No sitting and planning meals for hours. Just pick your meal and what your craving. It's so easy!

Great, Easy, and Balanced too!

Although I am not a die hard zone fanatic, this book allows me to eat a balanced and delicious meal. The receipes are fast, easy to follow, and loved by my whole family (including my choosy children). The best receipe is on page 112, szechuan chicken, the best i've ever had. OPRAH NEEDS THIS BOOK.

tasty and easy recipies!

This is the book I've been looking for! I have two kids under five and not much time to cook. My husband and I have been trying to eat 40-30-30 for the past year. Dr. Sears needs to hire a good chef though! The recipes in his books just don't have the flavor that Bill Taylor's do. Thank you Bill!

Delicious, easy meals for carbohydrate-conscious people!

My doctor recently pronounced that my eating, although considered healthy for many years, no longer suited my "older" metabolism. As I searched for advice on changing from a high carbohydrate diet based on my years of physical exercise to low carb, I found myself confused and dismayed. The 40-30-30 philosophy led me to Bill Taylor's cookbook. My family loves the recipes, and his bits of advice are understandable. I highly recommend this book if you are stuck on delicious meals in the 40-30-30 way of eating.
