Summary: GREAT BOOK, PACKED WITH INTERESTING LOW CARB TIPS
Comment: I bought both this book and the one by D. Chud. They are both nice books, but I found this book, ("The Low-Carb Cookbook" by F. McCullough) to be more practical - Fran gives you a rundown of low carb pantry items and resource guide for finding these items - lots of unusual low-carb products that would be otherwise hard to find (low carb Tortillas, for instance). Many recipes are short and easy to prepare - there are "classic" American (Fried chicken with lowcarb crispy coating),French (vicchyssoise,beef burgoyne), and Italian style (caponata,Italian meatloaf) recipes as well as recipes using some more commonly found Asian and Southwest (carnitas) ingredients. The book is organized in the usual manner: appetizers,soups,salads,main dishes,condiments, veggies,side dishes, desserts and each section has good and interesting low-carb recipes. Each recipe has the carb,protein and fat counts, so you can get an idea of how the carbs would change if you make substitutions. In addition, she has some more unusual basic recipes (how to prepare your own pork rinds / cracklings)that I haven't seen before. My favorite parts are special sections spread throughout the book with topics like how to prepare a low-carb Turkey stuffing, how to make a low-carb "breadings" for meat,and low-carb wrappers of lettuce to mention a few. I really enjoy this book and have shared it with co-workers on the low-carb diet. One last comment is that another book for low carb eaters which is complementary in nature to the "The Low-Carb Cookbook" is "The Complete Meat Cookbook" by Bruce Aidells and Denis Kelly. In that book you get a lot of buying info on meat (difference between prime and choice, how to choose a ham,beef,pork,lamb and veal)as well as how to prepare meat easily and with good flavor and tenderness, while on a budget. The accompanying side dish recipes in this book are probably not low carb (you have to watch the ingredients, some are low carb), but the meat preparations are easy and delicious, a good complementary book to "The Low Carb Cookbook".

Summary: Excellent Recipes and Sources for Low Carb Dieters
Comment: My wife is very supportive of the Atkins Low Carb diet I am currently following. I have lost over 30 pounds and have maintained my weight while travelling for the last 4 months. On the weekends she cooks for me and is constantly looking for good recipes to add variety to keep me interested in staying on the Atkins Plan. She recently made the Vichyssoise recipe that is in this cookbook and I fooled 4 people at work into thinking it was potato soup that was pureed! If you like southern style cooking, there is a Smothered Pork Chops recipe that is to die for! The Garlicky Baked Chicken is another one of the excellent recipes. We have selected many more recipes that we are going to try and are having a 100% hit rate on good taste with this cookbook so far.
The sources provided by the author so that we can order items that supplement the Atkins Diet, i.e., low carb tortillas, Sugar-free syrups, Splenda, Blueberries, etc. are very good. In fact, my wife called and ordered a case of the tortillas tonight and I can't wait to try them! I would highly recommend this cookbook to anyone currently on a low carb diet!

Summary: The Best So Far
Comment: I have tried at least a half dozen low-carb cookbooks. Dana Carpenter's 500 Low Carb Recipes was down at the low end (lots of fakeouts, if you are into that). Deborah Chud's Gourmet Prescription is middle-high end (I'm talking ease of prep/expense/taste). I wanted a cookbook I could reliably use a few times a week and be sure of getting something tasty. So far, this is it.
