Customer Reviews

at last !
I stopped eating carbs about 18 months ago - I haven't missed them at all and feel great for it. However I do encounter problems cooking for friends when I want to produce something a bit more exciting than my usual fish / meat with veg / salad.

Hence this book has been a godsend! It is written by a proper, top chef who would be loath to scrip on flavour for the sake of a diet.

The author shares my aversion to the concept of a 'diet' – we all love food and food should be enjoyed. He has found he can happily marry this with living a non-carb lifestyle. I think eating such creative dishes must be the secret! The recipes are interspersed with hints of how it has worked for him, to take one example, he extols the virtues of cocktails in place of puddings (love it!)

There are plenty of low-carb cookbooks out there, but most sell by virtue of their dishes' carb-count. In this book that is secondary to what’s important if you enjoy cooking – whether you enjoy the food!

If you want to eat 'real' food, buy this.
This is the best low carb recipe book I have found. The recipes work, they do not need any 'manufactured' ingredients and they taste great. Do you need to know anything more than that?
