15-Minute Low-Carb Recipes: Instant Recipes for Dinners, Desserts, and More Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was so excited to see that Dana Carpender was coming out with a 15 minute recipe book. I have the 500 low carb recipes book and am tremendously pleased with it, but this new book is so awesome that although I have used my 500 recipes book religiously for months, it has sat on the shelf for the last week. I have made a different recipe every night this week using this 15 minute recipe book and am enthralled. I've made Sour Cream Ham Supper (my husband loved this), Spanish Rice (scrumptuous, I think I found my new favorite), Beef and Artichoke Skillet (fabulous),Ham and Beans Skillet (so easy, and absolutely delicious), and tomorrow I'm making Pepperoncini Beef; I can't wait. I've never enjoyed cooking so much. All the recipes are so fast and easy. So far, they've all been extremely tasty, too. Dana, keep up the good work.

15 Minute Low Carb Recipes: Instant Recipes for Dinners, Desserts, and More Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Hooray once again for Dana Carpender! These are really delicious and fast to prepare, as advertised. You won't need a lot of crazy ingredients. There's usually something I can make from my pantry and freezer, and my husband has been enthusiastic about each recipe we've tried.
For each recipe, she gives you the counts on total carbs, fiber, and net carbs, as well as grams of protein. She doesn't give you the fat grams, but most of the recipes seem to use moderation in the use of oils and fats. There also aren't a lot of artificial sweetners in her recipes; just a tsp of Splenda here and there as needed.
You get 13 chapters of 15-minute recipes: Eggs, Tortilla Tricks (low-carb tortillas, of course), Burgers (no buns of course), Poultry, Fish and Seafood, Steaks and Chops, Main Dish Salads, Skillet Suppers, Slow Cooker Meals, Side Dishes, Soups; Condiments, Sauces, Dressings, and Seasonings, and Desserts.
Her burger recipes are really juicy and awesome. They always make my husband happy. Her Main Dish Salads are really creative and range from things you would serve to company, like Italian Roast Beef Salad, Satay Salad, and a lovely crab and avocado number, to things people will be happy about in packed lunches, like Egg Salad Francaise, Curried Tuna Salad, and a cottage cheese/tuna concoction that is actually very tasty and can be whipped up in 5 minutes flat!
I also like the Skillet Suppers, which include a ground beef skillet with the flavor of stuffed cabbage, a couple of asian-flavored creations, chicken alfredo, farm fry, Spanish "Rice" and Fried "Rice" (where "Rice" equals cauliflower).
The meat, poultry, and seafood sections are pretty much what you'd expect, but the flavors are awesome, and she really does keep it under 15 minutes.
In the dessert section, she has some sumptuous creamy coffee drinks and some things to do with fruit, along with carb counts for servings of various fruits.
I need to explore the condiments section further, because it looks like there's some gold in those hills, too.
I love how many vegetables we're eating with this cookbook! In fact, these recipes could get your kids eating more veggies, too. She gives you hints about serving the recipes to your carb-loving family, too, such as noting where brown rice (or her delicious Cauli-rice) would be a good addition.

Lauri's Low-Carb Cookbook: Rapid Weight Loss with Satisfying Meals (2nd Edition) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Without going into too many details, let me just say that THIS COOKBOOK is the only reason my wife and I are still on the Atkins diet. We bought four cookbooks (all highly recommended), only to find that, while providing tasty recipes, three of the cookbooks asked for all manner of "fancy" ingredients. Stuff not normally found in our "average" kitchen. Expensive stuff. And many of the recipes weren't quite as low-carb as we had hoped (20g for one serving?).
Lauri's cookbook took care of those problems. I think the only "fancy" ingredients we had problems with were Kitchen Bouquet (it was in the gravy section at the store) and shallots (never had one before). The rest is just plain, everyday ingredients. And low-carb? All of her recipes list the nutritional information right there. It's nice to eat a large, tasty dinner with only 2.3g per serving! Most of the recipes are below 10g, and many are below 5g. Serving size is very generous.
I consider this book to be the best diet/way-of-eating investment I've made so far. This cookbook is just too good to pass up.

1001 Low-Carb Recipes: Hundreds of Delicious Recipes from Dinner to Dessert That Let You Live Your Low-Carb Lifestyle and Never Look Back Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Was excited to see that there was a new book out by Dana. Wondered why I hadn't heard about it on her web site, so I emailed her asking about it. (No response)
So then I find out, after having paid for it, that this is a compilation of several of her previous low carb books, all of which I already own. If you already have her other Low Carb books, don't buy this one. If you want to dip your toe into Dana Carpender's low carb cookbooks and don't own any of them, then this would be a good place to start. You can sample recipes from many of her books this way, and if you like what you try then you can spend the money on the other books to get a more comprehensive collection.

500 Low-Carb Recipes: 500 Recipes from Snacks to Dessert, That the Whole Family Will Love Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First let me say that I own many, many low-carb cookbooks, and this one is THE best I have ever read! Not only does it offer 500, yes, 500 recipes that are easy, fabulous and low carb, but the introduction and ingredient chapters were SPECTACULAR! The introduction was warm, witty and informative. I typically skim through the beginning chapters and get right to the recipes, but I couldn't put this one down! So many questions that I had were answered in the Low Carb Specialty Foods chapter, not to mention the Polyols chapter and the Where to Find Low-Carb Specialty Products chapter (she doesn't like paying through the nose for this stuff, either)!
The Ingredients You Need to Know About section was the absolute best--necessary and unique information about eggs, fats/oils, flour substitutes (what the heck are guar and xanthan gums, anyway--she answers that, too!), sweeteners (wow, I can have molasses!), vegetables (and I can have carrots, too!), and oh so much more. Her first recipe is addictive enough to eat every day (Heroin Wings)! I wish I could say that I've made all the recipes, but I'm so busy trying out the recipes from the first chapter, I haven't even looked at the other chapters yet, but believe me, I know they'll be outstanding.
This author is down-to-earth, funny and charming. I can relate to her so well. She stresses over and over again to listen to your body and let that be your guide regardless of whether the food is low-carb. This works so well for me. The BEST book you will ever purchase on low-carbing and low-carb recipes. DON'T MISS THIS ONE!

Low-fat or low-carb? A recent New York Times Magazine (July 7, 2002) cover story answered this question and said that Dr. Atkins was right all along, "its not fat that makes us fat but carbohydrates." Though the government has spent hundreds of millions of dollars in research trying to prove that fat is the cause of obesity, there has been a subtle shift in the scientific consensus over the past five years supporting what the low-carb diet doctors have been saying all along: if we eat less carbohydrates, we will lose weight and live longer.One of the toughest challenges of any diet is having enough variety and choices to keep the dieter from losing interest.The most common reason that people abandon their diet is boredom but 500 LOW CARB RECIPES: 500 Recipes, From Snacks to Dessert, That the Whole Family Will Love by Dana Carpender has more than enough recipes to keep even the most finicky dieter on track.With recipes for everything including hors dÆoeuvres, snacks, breads, muffins, side dishes, entrees, cookies, cakes and much more, this is an endless supply for creating meals for the whole family night after night.Whether everyone in the family is on a diet or not, these recipes are proven winners with adults and kids alike. Also included:
Many one-dish meals for single people--main dish salads, skillet suppers that include meat and vegetables, and hearty soups that are a full meal in a bowl.
Ideas for breaking out of old ways of looking at food with suggestions that save time and money and change what is considered a normal meal for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Information about where to find low-carbohydrate specialty products and descriptions of low-carb specialty foods found in grocery stores everywhere.
An entire chapter that lists and describes low-carb substitute ingredients such as fats and oils, flour substitutes, liquids, seasonings and sweeteners.
Dieters will be pleased to know that they can eat foods like guacamole, omelets, pizza, steak, ham and dessert without giving up great taste and still lose weight.There are enough recipes to create the perfect menu for any holiday of the year--including Thanksgiving.Each of the 500 recipes includes a carbohydrate count to help calculate the total carb intake of each menu.There are more recipes for main dishes and side dishes than most low-carb dieters will ever be able to eat--everything from down-home cooking to ethnic fare; from quick-and-easy weeknight meals to knock-their-socks off party food. 500 LOW CARB RECIPES is the last cookbook any dieter will ever need to buy and certain to be used until the binding is worn out!
