Don't bother. Check out my thread in general low carb. There is nothing low carb about the recipes. They are just scaled so the carbs are below 10.

Most recipes are just flour, sugar, honey, milk chocolate, etc. You would be better off buying the regular version with much bigger cookbooks and searching for the very same recipes that are in this one.

Remember, they made no attempt to make the recipes low carb at all. No substitutions, no tips on reducing carbs, etc.

Here is another funny example:

Samosas..

STUFFING
3 medium potatoes
1 cup green peas
1 cup shredded cabbage
2 medium onions
2 long green chiles
1 teaspoon ginger paste
2 tablespoons chopped mint leaves
1/2 cup chopped coriander leaves
3 tablespoons oil
Salt, to taste

DOUGH
1 1/2 cups refined wheat flour (maida)
3 tablespoons oil
Salt (1/2 teaspoon), to taste
Oil, to deep fry

Sure glad I have this low carb cookbook so I can make this nice atkins friendly recipe...
