It’s always nice to find a good guide to something you are into and in this case, this book does offer some basic recipes for the low carber who maybe doesn’t have a lot of experience cooking. I didn’t find anything different in the way of unusual recipes as Mr Pryor is also on one of the low carb forums and offers lots of recipes and advice on converting recipes using low carb ingredients which I have found very helpful. I thought he would have a lot more innovative recipes in his book so I was a little disappointed.
If you aren’t a gung-ho cook you might like this compilation of recipes, they are simple and use ingredients that available in most stores.
Rating: 3 / 5
Every low carb eater should own this book. The recipes are simple and straightforward and use only two specialized ingredients — Splenda and Expert Foods ThickenThin Not Starch. This book does a good job of teaching cooking *principles* and *techniques* and how to convert high-carb recipes to low carb. The editing is *atrocious* — lots of misspellings left in, and my chief gripe is that he gives a carb count per serving without always telling the serving size. Despite these problems, this book is indispensable and I hope the author does more!
