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.

Review of Extreme Lo-Carb Cuisine: 250 Recipes With Virtually No Carbohydrates (Paperback)

I have to say that I use Sharron's 'lo-carb' cuisine book almost every day. I've had parties, holidays, you name it and have used this book to everyone's delight! Really, I haven't found one recipe we haven't loved yet.
When I started eating low carb I quickly became bored with what I thought my options were. I felt discouraged because I couldn't imagine eating another cheeseburger, but I liked the health benefits this new way of eating was giving me. I picked up this cookbook, and all of that changed. There were so many tasty options available now- I couldn't wait to start trying recipies.The Fake Fudge and Silky Choco-Peanut Butter Pie are lifesavers!!!
The funny thing is, before I found this book I hated cooking. In fact, I just about knew how to boil water, literally, and that was it. My whole family is amazed how I've become "domesticated" now that I cook/bake all the time, but the truth is I have so much fun using Sharron's recipies and loving what turns out!!!You will too- I highly recommend this book!

Review of 500 Low-carb Recipes (Paperback)

Even though I have always loved to cook, I lost the desire to do so after starting the low carb lifestyle a little over a year ago. Bland salads and grilled chicken breasts were my staples. I found myself browsing the cookbook section of a book store one day and began flipping through Dana's book - I was hooked. I picked it up and spent 4 hours straight reading everything (I had a long car ride to do so). I spent about two weeks making all sorts of recipes from this book and fell in love with cooking all over again. I still use recipes from this and several of her other books several times a week, but I finally popped back into the creative mood and spend the other days experimenting with my own low carb recipes!! Thanks Dana. (c:
