Book Reviews of The Low-Carb Comfort Food Cookbook

Book Review: The Best Collection of Low Carb Comfort Foods
Summary: 5 Stars

The intent of this book isn't necessarily to give you all the low carb recipes you'll ever need, but to provide you with tasty substitutes for those foods you really miss so you won't fall of the low carb wagon. These are comfort foods, sorely needed by me and most of my low carb friends!

A couple of the reviews I've read here seem to indicate the reviewers a) haven't used this cook book b) don't understand the logic behind low carb living or c) both.

The Magic Rolls are terrific -- yes, they call for flour, but not unprocessed white flour. No, it doesn't use sugar at all. For recipes needing sugar, they suggest a well-known sugar substitute. The rolls came out fabulously; we have used them as rolls, bagel substitutes, hamburger rolls etc. All of the ingredients were found in a large chain grocery store here in Ohio. The preparation didn't take too much hard work, I made a lot and froze what wasn't devoured (only takes a microwave moment to warm them up from frozen).

Why I love this book best -- I recognized many of their recipes, found (and used by me) scattered through other low carb books -- this one has all the ones I love tucked inside, plus more. And they have helpful low carb cooking information in the opening part of the book. They have info in every recipe showing how much carb and protein counts are in each serving.

The authors focus on comfort foods (rolls, meatloaf, gravy, apple brown betty, now there's a meal I no longer need to miss!) along with simplicity -- these are foods you can cook for the family that don't require a gourmet kitchen, training, budget or lifestyle. There are also a lot of Italian and Mexican recipes, two of my family's favorites.

I am suggesting this to all of my friends who are trying low carb, not no carb, eating because this has recipes that can help sustain a change to that lifestyle!
