Review of 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!

Product Description
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. In THE LOW-CARB GOURMET, Brigit Binns proves that it's possible to follow a low-carb regime and still eat well-in fact, exceedingly well. With 70 recipes for sophisticated yet approachable dishes like Gratin-Style Spinach and Aged-White Cheddar Soufflé, Hazelnut-Crusted Freshwater Trout with Preserved Lemon Relish, and Star Anise Flan with Blackberries, 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.
