5.0 out of 5 stars Great for Low Carb creativity, December 27, 2005

By

This review is from: The Low Carb CookwoRx Cookbook (Hardcover)

I first started the Atkins diet in 2004, when low carb was getting big. Suffice it to say, I did well on it but 2005 didn't work out too well, as it hasn't for others either, since the low carb "craze" seems to be gone. However, I wanted to get back on track. The problem is, Atkins doesn't excite me anymore and has a lot of don't do this, and do this but with products and specialty products that either are too expensive or don't exist anymore!

Then I saw the Drs. Eades' show on PBS, called "Low Carb CookwoRx" (which televises all these recipies) and I'm already mentally feeling like a new person. I just got this book for Christmas and checked out their diet books from my local library and am ready to start learning about their plans. Just from the show I'm amazed - not only are these recepies DOABLE by anyone, but they explain during the show WHY they are important. So not only am I getting low carb, but I know it's HEALTHY too.

Really, though, the main reason I was so excited for this book is that the recipies are not only foods that we all love, but involve using normal ingredients. Sure, there are a few that are specialty items, but for the most part, the only thing you'll have to buy that you're not used to is new, exciting, and healthier foods (e.g. celery root or butternut squash). Whether it's pasta, tacos, pancakes and syrup, or even pumpkin pie, they have real recipies that involve using foods and techniques that I KNOW and that are within my budget (and not just random, expensive, and specialty low carb products).

If you haven't seen their show and are unsure of this book, check your local PBS listings - the show is great, they're such a nice couple, and they make me EXCITED to cook (even more so this book)! I hope you all purchase this book not only because it's a great resource, but to show the Drs. Eades their plan is reasonable, doable, and beneficial to the REAL person.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hey, South Beach Dieters, February 23, 2006

From the PBS TV show! Two MD's change everyday favorites to acceptable South Beach type recipes and add other health related changes we could all use. I used their "pie" crust recipe and it was a hit with my dieter. The doctors are very smart when it comes to which oils to use and EVEN tell how to make a simple syrup from Splenda--unheard of until their book. Cocktail recipes are also in the book. Mexican dishes, fake "potato salad" and much more. Keeps things interesting with the pounds still falling off.

5.0 out of 5 stars Generally pleased with the recipes, April 11, 2007

Reproducing bread and pasta foods is a difficult task. I've tried a million low carb pastas and other foods / recipes with generally poor tasting results. I've also tried recipies that include a lot of really wierd ingredients that I have to hunt down at stores I usually don't shop at or the Internet.

This book's recipes are actually pretty tasty and made with common ingredients that you actually heard of and can buy at most grocery stores. This book has the first recipe for pasta that I think passes for a reasonable substitute although it was a bit tough to get through my pasta maker.

So far of the things I've made, I've been pleased with the results and would recommend the book.
