Low-carb eating continues to gain adherents as people discover that they can lose weight and help manage chronic conditions such as diabetes and high cholesterol by eating more low-carb foods. Everyday Low Carb Cooking—here in its third edition—contains 225 recipes from two dozen cuisines that provide a wide variety of low-carb options. The recipes are designed for the entire family to enjoy, and cover salads, soups, and a wide variety of seafood, chicken, beef, pork, and vegetable choices. Haas has already been praised for the incredible variety of his recipes and for offering low-carb versions of such foods as salad dressings, chicken wings, crab cakes, and coleslaws—that are not readily available in other low-carb cookbooks. Each recipe includes macronutrient counts for each ingredient. This is an accessible, proven book of low carbohydrate recipes for everyone who wants or needs to be on a low-carb diet.
First of all, this cookbook is a library book so I won't be using it on a regular basis. I don't like it well enough to purchase it, but I will probably borrow it again. I frequent the library several times a week. All-in-all I gave this book a 4 stars rating. I haven't found any recipes I can't live without, but there were some I would like to try. I would recommend this book to anyone on a Low Carb Eating Plan.
I wish every cookbook was written like this. Each page has one recipe, each ingredient has nutrition info and totals are included then divided into serving size. With this info, you can easily adapt carb counts when substituting ingredients. When you are counting carbs to calculate insulin, this is a huge time saver!
