BOOK REVIEW
The Low-Carb Gourmet: 250 Delicious and Satisfying Recipes
by Karen Barnaby
Over the past few years, low-carb, high-protein diets have changed the way America eats. But how much steak, nuts, and cheese can a person eat? If you’re a low-carber, you have been looking for a cookbook that will provide the variety, sophistication, and sublime taste sensations that the true food lover craves - and yet will allow you to reap the weight-loss and health benefits of low-carb eating.
In The Low-Carb Gourmet, anyone who is currently on -- or contemplating embarking upon -- one of the many low-carb diets will find a wealth of recipes, tips, and inspiration. Professional chef and award-winning cookbook author Karen Barnaby applies her carb-cutting techniques to more than 250 recipes that are at once elegant and uncomplicated, such as Prawns with Peppery Garlic Vinaigrette; Soy, Sake, and Butter-Glazed Mushrooms; Pancetta-Wrapped Salmon with Red Wine Butter; Tamarian’s Peanut Butter-Frosted Brownies; and Strawberry Shortcakes with Mascarpone Balsamic Cream. Filled with lush color photographs, tips on low-carb shopping, and menus and ideas for entertaining, The Low-Carb Gourmet raises low-carb dining to new heights.
