From Hollywood to South Beach, the latest craze in the diet world is low-carbohydrate, high-protein meals. However, until now, low-carb cookbooks have been decidedly lowbrow, more concerned with prepared ingredients and overly simplistic recipes than with flavor or presentation. THE LOW-CARB GOURMET takes low-carb eating beyond the hamburger sans bun and explains how to maintain a healthy, gourmet lifestyle that will leave you looking and feeling great. Complex enough to impress foodies and discerning guests yet simple enough for everyday family meals at home, THE LOW-CARB GOURMET raises the concept of “diet food” to new culinary heights. An upscale low-carb cookbook featuring 70 recipes that emphasize vegetables, heart-healthy fats, lean protein, and eggs. Low-carb diets are rapidly gaining acceptance as safe and effective ways to shed pounds. According to market research, 17 percent of the U.S. population has tried the Atkins diet. Nearly two-thirds of Americans are considered overweight.

My New Favorite,

This review is from: The Low-Carb Gourmet: Recipes for the New Lifestyle (Paperback)
This is one of the best cookbooks I've bought in a long time, and I buy a lot of cookbooks. I made the Haricots Frites with Tarragon Sauce for a small cocktail party I had recently, and everyone raved. It was great to be able to tell my guests that they shouldn't feel guilty because these frites are low-carb! I also just tried the Seared Scallops with Cauliflower Florets, since scallops are in season, and the recipe was flawless. Whether or not you intentionally eat low-carb, these recipes are great!

This review is from: The Low-Carb Gourmet: Recipes for the New Lifestyle (Paperback)
I found this book great because I love food and don't want to feel deprived in this style of eating.
The Burrata and Seared Fig Salad is fantastic and the Deep-fried Egg Frise Salad is out of this world. Do your self a favor. Get it and Cook.
