Review of The Best Low-carb Cookbook (Paperback)

I'm not usually one given to writing reviews, but this book impressed me so much that I had to share my opinion.
I have used 2 of the recipes so far with great results. Previous to this I have been eating low-carb for a while now and had got stuck in the rut of the types of foods I was eating, how I was cooking them and the spices I was using.
And while some may find that a couple of the recipes seem to be variations of another in the book,(and the zucchini boat recipe is actually a generic vegetable stuffing recipe that does not have zucchini in the recipe, but mushrooms instead...) it has re-opened my eyes to the creative possiblities while eating low-carb.
The other benefit of the book is that the writer does make an effort to keep the recipes lower-fat than many atkin style recipes.
I am using another 2 recipes out of the book tonight and if the ingredients are any indication they should be delicious as well.
(I would have given the book 5 stars except for some of proof- reading errors that should have been caught before publishing.)

Product Description
An outstanding collection of more than 475 low carb recipes.
By now all of us are aware of the low carb phenomenon and how enthusiastically it has been embraced by the general population. There are several popular low carb diet plans available and everyone seems to have their favorite. While the popular diet books contain loads of information on why and how low carb diets work, they fall short when it comes to recipes.
Delicious food that is easy to prepare and follows the low carb philosophy is the key to these diets. After the initial delight of consuming previously forbidden foods, like meat and cheese, recipes that are interesting and flavorful are crucial to staying on a low carb diet.
With more than 475 recipes to choose from, The Best Low-carb Cookbook provides literally a different dish to have every day for the next year, such as: - Mushroom Sun-Dried Tomato Cheese Pate - Seafood Garlic Antipasto - Chicken Salad with Tarragon and Pecans - Mussels with Sweet Bell Peppers and Garlic - Curried Red Pepper Chicken - Oriental Beef Bundles in Lettuce - Bistecca alla Florentine - Company Pork Roast with Fruit Stuffing.
Each recipe has a complete nutritional breakdown that includes the carbohydrate count.
