If you want the lowdown on the constantly changing diet info that is out there, THIS IS IT! This book contains a wealth of good advice from a woman who cooks for a diabetic husband and shares her kitchen experiences with her readers. As a diabetic myself I found this book incredibly helpful, lots of background info on her research and great recipes. Simply a "must-read" for people who want a down to earth cook book.

I am impressed with the info on low carb in this book. I was really just expecting recipes and was pleasantly surprised.

I would be disappointed in this book, simply because Ms. Baker is a gourmet cook, and I am a plain jane everyday simple cook. However, there are some very good tips in this book that we have been able to put to good use.
Just the tips were worth the cost of the book. But I doubt I will ever really use any of the recipes. I just don't fancy spending hours in the kitchen. Some of the ingredients are not attainable for me unless I spend a lot of money ordering them online. Just not practical for me.
I know this sounds like a downer, but if you eat low carb (we do), and if you love to cook (we don't), you will love this cookbook. Now if you eat low carb, and need some tips on how to get a little variety in your low carb cuisine, you may get enough tips out of this to make the purchase worthwhile.

I am a cookbook "reader" and I really liked the information at the beginning of the book, with sections on sweeteners; starches, flours and thickeners; and fats and oils that were very helpful. I also liked the extended section giving sources for sometimes hard-to-find ingredients. The author has many creative low carb recipes - including use of pumpkin and rutabagas as substitutes for white potatoes, and use of spaghetti squash for its more familiar counterpart.
I liked reading the recipes and marking off the ones I could eat -the only reason the book did not get a 5 rating was a kind of selfish one - I am intolerant of wheat, corn and dairy, and many recipes do rely heavily on those ingredients. The flour substitutes she uses often contain wheat gluten as an ingredient, for example. It is true many desserts use Splenda - this is the sugar substitute that is most recommended by sources that rate alternative sweeteners, it is considered "safe" and should not be a problem for most people unless they dislike the taste of it.
The other thing I might mention is that this is not a "simple" or "quick" cookbook in terms of most of the recipes - you would have to like to cook and be willing to try new ingredients to make the most of it. I am looking forward to trying many of the recipes - especially the Moussaka when I can figure out what to substitute for the heavy cream. It looks like an authentic Greek style recipe. Don't miss the tips and notes she includes in the margins - they are very informative and interesting.
