Usually a cookbook has numerous recipes I never try. This cookbook is page after page of great flavor for the palate. I have used some of the salad recipes for dishes at parties and have had lots of compliments. Well worth adding to your cookbook selection even if you don't care about carbs.

LOVE THIS!!
such a wealth of ideas for low carbers. and it really highlights how healthy low carb food is. next time i hear someone say you can't eat vegetables on a low carb diet i will show them how wrong they are with this book. who needs starch when there's so much delicious REAL food?
(the one exception to my enthusiasm is artificial sweeteners used in the book. those are most definitely NOT real food).

The book is 7 1/2 by 9 1/2 inches, and 1 1/4 inches thick - 496 page hardcover. The 4 stars is for the recipe variety. But I am no longer low carb dieting.

From the book cover: "500 recipes from snacks, to dessert, that the whole family will love......
Okay, you've finally done it. You've gone low-carb! And no matter which one of the many low-carb diets you've chosen, you've discovered the joys of weight loss without hunger......
Just one little problem. If you have to face one more day of eggs for breakfast, tuna salad for lunch, and a burger without the bun for dinner, you're going to scream......
Rejoice....help is here....In this book you'll find options galore. You'll find dozens of new things to do with your protein foods and vegetables - and you'll find recipes for foods you thought you'd never, ever be able to eat on your low carb diet: Cinnamon Raisin Bread, Feta Spinach Salmon Roast, Sour Cream Coffee Cake, Obscenely Rich Schrimp, Chocolate Mousse to DIE For, Mom's Chocolate Chip Cookies, Mockhhlua Cheese Cake, French Toast........."

This bok was a very good start to a low carb diet. The book is well written and the recipes are not difficult. It gave me information that I did not have and was easy to follow the information behind low carb eating. A verygood edition to my bookshelf. Naomi
