The book also includes recipes for lc simple syrup, irish cream, etc. as well as many mixed drink recipes.

A lot of time and research went into this book and it's definitely worth its low price. I am so pleased with the book that I ordered four more for Christmas gifts.

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 Extreme Lo-Carb Meals On The Go: Fast And Fabulous Solutions To Get You Through The Day (Paperback)

Those who gave this a good review must not have tried any of the recipes.

The book title says extreme lo-carb meals on the go. It is none of these things.

A lot of the recipes contain low carb breads, pastas and tortillas which is fine if you have no weight to lose.

The book promises fast recipes but tells you in the introduction that to the author fast means that the recipes can be cooked in less than an hour. Many of the recipes require that you prep ingredients in advance, the author calls "make ahead".

Many of the recipes call for expensive, hard to find substitutions for sugar, wheat, and syrups.

The only good recipes in the book, which were few and far between, I already had from free, online, low carb sites. (I saw two recipes out of the whole book that I would try and already had seen them online.)

A huge disappointment and I was very excited by the reveiws given so I thought this would be a good resource for me.

Save your money. Search online for the same recipes without the expensive ingredient substitutes.
