Have Your Cake and Eat It Too [Paperback]

Nancy F. Bailey (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: November 2004

Did you ever stop to wonder why you're able to find and buy commercially prepared low carbohydrate baking mixes, but it's impossible for you and I to bake low carb foods for ourselves in our own kitchens? The ingredients to which we typically have access and have been taught to use are the flours and sugars in the supermarket--none of which can be used if you're counting carbohydrates. And, we haven't been educated as to what flours we can use or how to use substitutions for the standard flours and sugars. I have made great strides in this direction and would like to share them with you. Though after spending two years developing and writing this book, it's rewarding to find new products in the stores that are using the very same ingredients I will be teaching you to use at great savings to yourself.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cake and bread recipes for a low-carb diet, May 2, 2005

If you are on a low-carbohydrate diet you find out quickly just how many recipes have some sort of bread in them. To resolve this problem Nancy Fayrweather Bailey has come up with a recipe for a low-carbohydrate substitute for flour that can be used in most recipes for a surprisingly good result. The flour substitute is called MixQuick and contains soy flour and oat flour to increase the protein count while greatly reducing the carbohydrate count. Recipes in the book include pancakes, soufflés, muffins, quiche, lasagna, pizza, and burritos.

The MixQuick is the base for all the recipes and while I only tried making one unit of the MixQuick and two recipes the results were surprisingly good. These are low-carbohydrate recipes that I could live with. Have Your Cake and Eat It Too is recommended to most readers and highly recommended to anyone on a low-carbohydrate diet.
