Product Description

HERE’S A NUTRITIONALLY SOUND, VARIED, AND TASTY REGIMEN FOR ANYONE ON A LOW-CARB DIET

In The Low-Carb Gourmet, Harriet Brownlee proves that low-carbohydrate diets can be both rewarding and full of flavor. Her variations on soups, salads, main dishes, and even desserts are simple yet sophisticated, allowing each dieter to modify his or her food plan to suit taste as well as nutritional needs. In The Low-Carb Gourmet you will find

• more than 225 recipes–including appetizers, breads, pastas, ethnic foods, and desserts
• carbohydrate counts for every recipe and every portion
• nutritional hints for low-carb dieting
• comprehensive gram- and calorie-counting charts

This accessible guide is the perfect cooking companion for people who want to lose weight the low-carb way, as well as for those who simply want to maintain a healthy diet. It is a book for everyone who appreciates fine foods–but wants to stay slim.


About the Author

HARRIET BROWNLEE received her master of arts degree from Columbia University and has taught home economics in the New York City school system. As a child, she suffered from a severe weight problem that was ultimately solved under the guidance of Dr. Robert C. Atkins. The Low-Carb Gourmet developed from her understanding of and belief in low-carbohydrate dieting, coupled with her skill and good taste as a cook. (Her mother was actually a trained professional chef.) In recent years, Brownlee has applied her creativity to studying watercolor at the Art Students League of New York and has won honors for her paintings. She lives in New York City and is at work on another cookbook.

3.0 out of 5 stars Pretty Good Source, May 21, 2007
This book is a good source of information, but some of the recipes aren't so realistic. Either way, the recipes I have made from it have been great!

3.0 out of 5 stars Delicious recipes, but the net carb count needs work., October 9, 2006
This book has some delicious recipes, yes. However, it makes mistakes in its net carb count. I don't know why but almost every low carb cookbook and/or recipe (in a book) that I read does not properly count the 24g per cup of Splenda and fiber. So you have to count it yourself.

I own about 7-8 low carb cookbooks and I think I will stop there :) From now on I am using the Internet, and I recommend you do the same. Why buy a book when you have to do the net carb count yourself? If you need a place on the Internet to start, here it is: [...]

And I think this is the exact link that I have been using:

[...]

Many of the recipes already have the correct count, but even if they don't, THEY'RE FREE!!
