 Disappointing for me, but... January 6, 2009
B. J. Morris (Covington, GA United States)
I haven't tried a single recipe in this book. It just made food much more work than I, personally, am willing to do. I'd rather just go without high carb foods or find a low carb substitute, lol.
Many of the recipes call for ingredients that I couldn't find at my local supermarket, even though I think I have the most LC friendly supermarket I've ever seen. (Not saying much, I know.) Drs. Eades even recommend that it's cheaper to get many of your ingredients in the mail, which might work for advanced planners. I'm just not one of those.
And forget about making low carb 'pasta' or 'rice' if you don't know where to buy a pasta-making attachment. I'm showing my lack of cooking skill, maybe, when I say I've never even heard of such a thing! And tack on another 30 minutes if you want to do it by hand. I find it's much easier (and cheaper) to buy a package of shirataki noodles if I'm jonesing for pasta.
And I can't tell if the carbs listed per recipe are net carbs (total carbs minus fibers, etc.) or total carbs. Some people absorb sugar alcohols, etc., while others don't. So, I would be cautious about using this book while dieting if you find you're sensitive to different varieties of carbohydrate (fibers, starches and sugars). But if you're not, and you enjoy cooking, have at it! Also, if you don't need to lose weight but like to eat low carb, this might be a good cook book for you.
Bottom line is I'm too lazy to make any of the recipes that sounded good to me. If you like spending time in the kitchen, though, and you don't mind grocery shopping online, it could work for you.
Every recipe has dairy March 15, 2008

There are some useable recipes in this cookbook, but for someone sensitive to dairy it is almost useless. There are no suggested substitutions for dairy free cooking and believe me if you don't tolerate whey powder you will not like this book. Full of sour cream, whey powder, gluten etc. you will be in a world of hurt if you are like me who gets arthritis and rheumatic pain from these allergens.
Nice try, MD's. Too bad you know next to nothing about alternative nutrition!

Recipes are good but loaded with fat and calories...don't use unless you are a strict Atkins's dieter.
 Great lowcarb cookbook- a must have August 5, 2005

I love this cookbook. Full of some fantastic recipes and mounds of information on low carb products. Try the chili recipe with black soybeans, I couldn't tell the difference from any original recipe using kidney or pinto beans. YA gotta have this one.
 yes tiny cookies have fewer carbs...no kidding June 20, 2005

There were alot of hard to find/expensive ingredients. The foods sounded yummy, but when I would go to make the items I would always come up missing one of the harder to find flours or powders. I am also a stay at home mom on a budget and some items are just way to expensive to purchase and cook with on a regular basis!
The carb count is still offly high in a few items and i found it easier to purchase already made low carb pasta rather than spend all afternoon going from health store to store looking for the different glutons and powders. Being a sweet junky I also made the low carb chocolate chip cookies. Sure a cookie the size of a quarter is low carb. That one doesn't take rocket sience to figure out. It is frustrating to put all of that work into making cookies and find you can only have 2 miniature cookies. Many of the recipes are yummy but in very SMALL portions. I am all for portion control it's helped me lose 30 lbs, but there is a moment where portion control crosses the line...a chocolate chip cookie the size of a quarter is not worth my time...limited carbs or limited calories!!!
