Complicated Cooking 2 out of 5 stars.
8 of 9 people found this review helpful.

I am a big fan of Dr. Ornish and his vegetarian approach to treating and preventing heart disease. When I am trying a new recipe I surround it with simple additions so I can concentrate on the new fare, especially if it includes alot of ingredients. Most of the meal plans in this book are complicated, requiring alot of ingredients for each new item on the menu for that meal. I could not successfully use this book as written, except to try one item at a time.

Wow...my favorite cookbook! 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

I am so thrilled with this book. Everything I've made is wonderful...coffee cake, black bean brownies (it's true!), chocolate mousse cake...I think the chocolate custard is the best dessert I've ever had. Update: I just made the Lemon Cheesecake Bars and they are out of this world. Buy this book!

There's no substiute for sugar but this comes close. 4 out of 5 stars.

The Chinese recipes were very good but to be honest I usually don't add sugar to my Chinese. The crepes were very good but again I normally don't add sugar to mine. There were recipes that are advertised as "you'll never taste the difference" well, you do taste the difference but if you cannot have sugar this is a good substitute. For example the brownies which are made with black beans and splenda are great if you really need to give up sugar. But of course as you can imagine, they are not the greatest brownies you've ever had but are good if you have a craving for chocolate and are forbidden sugar. I think for dieters try portion control with better food. If you are diabetic it's a must have if your system can't have the real thing.

The Good Carb Cookbook: Secrets of Eating Low on the Glycemic Index

Editorial Review:

One bad carbohydrate can't spoil the whole batch, but studies show that too many of the "wrong kinds" can lead to a slew of nasty health conditions, including obesity, insulin resistance, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. Sandra Woodruff, author of several bestsellers (including Secrets of Fat-Free Cooking and Secrets of Cooking for a Long Life) goes far beyond the realm of breads and pastas to offer a comprehensive look at nutrition, followed by a trove of carbo-smart recipes. Healthy eating, Woodruff asserts, requires keen attention to the glycemic index (GI), "a ranking of foods based on their potential to raise blood sugar levels." By choosing foods that rank low on the GI, and balancing higher GI foods with protein, she says, individuals will achieve better overall health. While the first section reads a bit like a college text (heavy with charts, grams, and serving sizes, plus all the numbers associated with the glycemic index), Woodruff gracefully applies this knowledge to real-life scenarios. Her meal-planning and dining-out tips accommodate a wide variety of eating habits and cuisines, with ample hints for hearty eaters, snackers, sweet-tooth sufferers, and those who enjoy international fare. More than 200 recipes include options for vegetarians, meat-and-potato types, adventurous chefs, and keep-it-simple cooks, without calling attention to any such stereotype. Two minor beefs: teaspoon and tablespoon appear in their unabbreviated forms, potentially making for easy errors; also, a fancy typeface makes reading the ingredients somewhat tricky. --Liane Thomas

Editorial Review:

End food boredom and diet burnout with more than 400 sophisticated, low-carbohydrate dinners that are bursting with flavor--and on the table in under 30 minutes!

Hundreds of thousands have embraced the low-carbohydrate lifestyle finding that a diet based on lean protein, fruits, and vegetables and less dependent on simple carbohydrates has helped them look and feel better. But a monotonous menu of steak and salad or expensive, additive-laden prepared foods has been the undoing of many a successful diet regimen.

The solution? Linda West Eckhardt and Katherine West DeFoyd have devised more than 100 protein-rich, low-carbohydrate dinners that will satisfy even the most demanding diners. Drawing on their experiences as award-winning cookbook authors, Eckhardt and DeFoyd have developed a tempting range of high-protein meals that are quick enough to make on a weeknight but elegant enough to share with guests -- and so delicious they'll never know they've been shortchanged on carbohyd rates, fat, and calories.

Each entree in The High-Protein Cookbook
* Provides at least 30 grams of protein, yet is light on fat and calories.
* Is styled for two people but can easily be doubled or tripled
* Uses short lists of fresh, healthful ingredients
* Is based on simple cooking techniques requiring no special equipment
* Avoids "artificial" products and flavorings
* Contains reasonable amounts of high-quality protein balanced by ample servings of vegetables and fruits

With chapters devoted to side dishes and salads, sauces and condiments, and even sinfully satisfying desserts that won't break the carbohydrate bank, The High-Protein Cookbook is the perfect companion to many of today's most popular dietary regimens and an enticing argument for cutting back on excess carbohydrates.

A working mom favorite. 5 out of 5 stars.
7 of 7 people found this review helpful.

I am a working mom and eating well is very hard to do when you have to please the palates of a trucker husband and an 18 month old too. I have made about 50% of the recipes in the book since I have bought it and I have not found one we didnt like yet. They are fast and not short on flavor.

My favorite cookbook yet! 5 out of 5 stars.
4 of 4 people found this review helpful.

I have a million cookbooks, and am a food network addict. This is by far the best cookbook. It has pics to go with every recipe as well. There aren't a huge amount of recipes, but what they have is all delicious. I don't think theyre extremely FAST to make though. Some still have a lot of prep work. But that's fine for me.... I make some of these recipes when I have company and it's always a huge hit! I definitely think everyone should own this cookbook!

A permanent addition to my kitchen! 5 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

I have made 4-5 recipies from this book and each has turned out great. They are suprisingly easy and do not taste bland, like so many other light recipies I have enountered. Be sure to try the artichoke, lemon and goat cheese stuffed chicken and the garlic fries. The wasabi tuna and shiitake port mushroom steaks were also good. Probably one of the best cookbooks I have!

Awesome light cookbook! 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

I was skeptical about the recipes in a "light" cookbook, but I've tried a couple of the recipes so far, and they've been FABULOUS! I made the "Italian Meatloaf" recipe for dinner last night, and it was better than the full-fat version I usually make.

Awesome cookbook 5 out of 5 stars.

I use a lot of the cooking light recipes online, but it got annoying always looking for the best rated ones. This book compiles it all into one and I love all the recipes!! Definately a good book to have!
