Yummy food to inspire
On the advice of the low carb diet plan I am following I bought this book, and I'm so glad I have. The recipes are delicious and the pictures will make your mouth water. I have yet to cook a recipe that doesn't work! This book has helped me keep on course so that I haven't cheated.

One of the hardest things in a low carb diet is satisfying your sweet tooth. I know some diets recommend you cut out sweet foods altogether, or limit them to special occasions. This is fine if you are able to do it, but what some people find is that this craving for sweet things may lead you to cheat, so why not find 'legal' sweets. This book has some lovely ones, including brownies, silken chocolate pudding, coconut macaroons, ice cream and pancakes. MMMMmmmmm

Gourmet but straightforward!
I bought this book after I found myself searching for this lady's recipes on the web. I wanted the recipes in my own kitchen! Delightful recipes, straightforwardly presented. I hope she writes a follow-up book soon!

Buy this book!!
This is by far the best low-carb book I have ever used. It has DELICIOUS recipes and suggests realistic alternatives to rice, potatoes and so on. Well done to Kate Barnaby for creating such fantastic low-carb food!
