If you have Linda's first book, Low Carb Meals in Minutes, with a green cover, don't buy this one. It's a re-print. Not that the recipies aren't fabulous--they are. Linda has a way of putting together a meal that is delicious, low-fat, low-carb, and it looks interesting on the plate. She offers useful tips and grocery lists with each recipe, which is a real time-saver. I cook one of these recipes each night and my husband doesn't realize how much healthier he's eating, but his clothes fit better.

I love to cook and my husband loves to eat. We are a perfect match. This book is fantastic. The meals are easy to make and they taste fantastic. In addition, they are not only low-carb, but relatively inexpensive to make.

When I read the title of this book I thought it meant that the recipes included good carbs (ie whole grains) however this is just another meat cookbook recommending a low carb or no carb diet which is not healthy according to my doctor. If you are on a low or no carb diet and need a cookbook to tell you how to make omelettes and tuna salad then this is the book for you. I found it to be a waste of money and plan to return it. There is actually a recipe for a green salad, which is iceberg lettuce, green peppers, and oil and vinegar dressing.... I am not an advanced cook by any means, in fact I would most likely classify myself as a beginner, but I certainly dont need a recipe for lettuce with oil and vinegar... Bottom line - dont waste your money!
