2.0 out of 5 stars Should be "some things" low carb, April 17, 2003

By	Doug Trouten (Crystal, MN USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Some of the recipes in this book are keepers, but a lot of them make you wonder if they've really thought through the low-carb idea. For instance, there's a recipe for "Glazed Bananas." Bananas by themselves are off-limits for most low-carbers, but this recipe suggests adding honey to the mix. At 20 carbs per serving this treat is described as "moderate."

Nutritional reporting is minimal. No calorie counts are reported for recipes. Carb counts include fiber, and fiber is not reported on its own, so good luck figuring out net impact carbs.

Dana Carpender's 500 Low-Carb Recipes is a much better bet.

5.0 out of 5 stars this one's a keeper, December 31, 2002

By A Customer

This is a great book because the recipes are creative, easy to prepare, and very flavorful. I had a dinner party using some of the recipes, and all of my friends went out and bought the book. We're groupies!

5.0 out of 5 stars Very creative recipes, January 11, 2009

By	Miriam Gongora "Mimi Gongora" (Bronx, NY USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you're serious about low carb or want to try something different... this book is good. I'm not a hard core low carb cook so I don't go out of my way buying half of the ingredients being Atkin's brand or whatnot.
