The book contains a reasonable number of recipes and lots of 'hints' that if you've done ANY reading about low carbohydrate eating, will be superfluous.The recipes run the gamut of carb counts, though I thought that the bulk of them were much higher carb than is helpful.Following the suggestions in this book and the recipes, it wouldn't be all that hard to hit 80-100++ grams of carb per day... which is simply TOO HIGH for many people who are following low carb lifestyles.
Many recipes call for sugar, white flour, semi-sweet chocolate and cornstarch.Come ON... those are NOT "low carb" ingredients.
This is more or less a repackaged low fat/lower cal cookbook with "low carb" thrown on the cover to try to generate some market share.My copy is being donated to a charity, it isn't worth the space on the shelf for someone interested in real "low carb" cooking.
