This book by Brigit Binns is just fantastic. I've needed to revamp my culinary repertoire with less carbs and this is just the book to help me do that. I love to cook and eat and consider myself a gourmet home cook so I really welcomed the opportunity to add this book to my large collection. It is a go-to book for me now and has also taught me ways to modify some of my existing favorite dishes. I am so glad that Brigit wrote this sensible book. You will not miss your potatoes or pasta when you cook using these recipes. I would recommend anyone even looking at the book here on Amazon should buy it. You will love it.

Since I began following a low carb eating plan a year ago, I keep on the lookout for interesting cookbooks. If you're a gourmet cook, you will probably really like this book; I am not and it really doesn't suit my simple menu style or my family's tastebuds. There are some interesting recipes I probably will try to expand my horizons, but it won't be a "go to" cookbook for me. Guess I should have considered the title!

This is a lovely cookbook, beautifully photographed and presented, with a variety of wonderful recipes. I recommend it, but if you're on a low carb weight loss regime (as opposed to maintenance), it's important to note that most of these recipes are low carb but not VERY low carb... mostly around 10-15 net carbs. That's fine as compared to most cookbooks, but it's kind of a lot if you're counting carefully, so it's not things that you're going to be eating every night. But that's ok, because my other caveat is, this IS a gourmet cookbook. It's not something to pick up when you are trying to think of something for dinner, because you can bet that you won't have all of the ingredients in the house or the time to cook it. But when you think ahead and shop for the right things, you'll have an absolutely wonderful (and relatively low carb) meal.
