Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Whether for weight loss or for counteracting diabetes, many have found a happy solution to health issues by following a high-protein, low-carbohydrate diet. But temptations to break that regimen abound, and people hunger after starchy, sugary comfort foods. Jackie Hanna comes to the rescue with Not Your Momma's Cookbook. Hanna creates low-carbohydrate versions of southern-style home cooking. Some of Hanna's solutions are simple: eliminate carbohydrates from Eggs Benedict by removing the English muffin. Others are less obvious: substitute turnips for potatoes in potato salad and in potato soup. Soy flour replaces wheat flour as thickener, and sugar alternatives abound. Recipes are generally simple and homey, but some require hard-to-find prepackaged flour substitutes. Nutritional analyses in the recipes limit themselves only to carbohydrate grams. Mark Knoblauch

1.0 out of 5 stars You need a cookbook to learn how to do this...?, March 20, 2006

This review is from: Not Your Momma's Cookbook (Plastic Comb)

I'm only rating this a one star because there are way too many recipes in this book that resemble this: Barbequed Steak: salt and pepper the meat, and cook it on the barbeque til done. I needed to spend $16.95 to learn that? I was looking for more comprehensive Southern recipes. This isn't the book.

I'm a chef, I'm Italian, and I like to eat. It's no big surprise that Italians like to eat, and we're known for HIGH carb meals.
Pasta,pizza,garlic bread,tomato sauce!!!! I love it but I'd like to stay below 200 pounds.
This book gives a fine alternative and tasty recipes. I highly suggest you buy this book. Hey, I'm Italian, I would'nt lie.
