Reader Reviews:
A GREAT low carb cookbook (1/1 people found this helpful)
If you're interested in low carb - or these days low gi/gl - then this book is for you. I've got lots of low carb books but I return to this one again and again probably because these two take a common sense approach: not all high carb ingredients are removed but are used in far lower amounts augmented with lower carb "alternatives". Consequently you end up with food that has got the the right properties and food you will actually want to eat. The Magic Rolls alone are worth the cost if only to get a low carb bread crumb recipe to crisp things up a bit in your own recipes. I really like this book and even if Southern Fried Chicken isn't on your list of comfort foods it really is good!

I think the first reviewer is missing the whole point. If you like North American food, this is for you. The best thing about this cookbook, besides the recipes, is the detailed carb and protein counts. Many variations are given, as well as substitutions if need be. All the ingredients can be found in the UK as well, maybe not at your local grocery but at least via online and in health food stores.

This may have hit 'North America by storm' but this food ain't comfort food in Britain honey!
For food to have a comfort feel it has to tap into one's social and cultural past and I'm afraid cinnamon buns, fettuccine alfredo, enchiladas, zucchini fritters, eggplant parmigiana ain't on my list of any food - comfort or otherwise. Now, as for iced cocoanut sponge and pink custard, a shepherds pie with a cheese topping, or perhaps hot buttered crumpets with just a smear of bovril (with a nice cup of tea!)....
