Summary: Great flavors with Every Day Cooking
Comment: Everyday Low Carb Cooking is written by Alex Haas - who was the lead cook for the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. It has great food for normal people!
The range of recipes in this book (240 in all) is phenomonal. There are many ethnic recipes, everything from soup to desserts, lots of appetizers, main dishes, salads, snacks, and more.
A nice feature of the cookbook is that the ingredient "grid" shows the regular carbs, effective carbs, fat and protein for EVERY ingredient. So if you start substituting things to suit your own tastes, it's very easy to know exactly how that changes the carb count.
There aren't any photos of food, but the descriptions and information make it pretty clear what each dish is about. A lot of the dishes seem 'fancy' but are really easy to make, like Burgundy Chicken and Chicken Bordeaux. There are tons of buffalo wing variations, as he feels buffalo wings are the "perfect low carb food".
A great book for any low carb enthusiast to have on their shelf!

Summary: Great cookbook, even for non-low carbers
Comment: This is an amazing cookbook. I have made at least one recipe from it each day since getting it a month ago. The recipes feature an incredible variety of flavors and cuisines, yet doable from ingredients in your pantry and freezer; these on-hand ingredients are transformed through the cooking techniques in the recipes to yield very complex flavors. My non-low carb family has enjoyed the recipes as well. There is also great personality in the intros to the recipes which makes the book entertaining to read. Last but not least, a frequent feature of the recipes (although optional in many cases) is hot pepper flavorings. The pepper buzz is a welcome alternative to the sugar high that we recovering carb addicts sometimes still miss.

Summary: Don't let the cover fool you
Comment: So far, I have tried out several recipes, all with great success. The directions are simple, concise, and easy to follow and the food is just amazing (esp. recommend the Polish-style beef with sauerkraut). The only negative thing that I would say is it needs pictures. . .Badly. The cover gives a false sense of visual culinary exploration meaning I wanted cool pictures and didn't get none! Call me a shallow consumer, but a good cookbook isn't great until it satisfies my eyes as well as my stomach.
