Summary: A Decent Alternative
Comment: As a low-carb dieter, I was really craving some baked goods. I received this book and promptly went out and purchased the special ingredients she uses in most all of the recipes. Such ingredients as Oat flour, High Gluten flour, Xanthan gum, Vanilla Whey Protein Powder and Splenda(a sweetner). It cost a bit of money to get started, needless to say!
I love gingerbread. Especially with whipped cream. Since all low-carb dieters know real whipped cream is okay, I figured this would be a good place to start. I baked it up in no time. I have to say although the taste was okay, the texture was definitely a disappointment. Don't look for fluffy and light. The cakes and breads I tried all had a dense texture with some sponginess. Overall though, it hit the spot with my morning de-caf coffee!
My favorite recipe is one for the Pumpkin Cheesecake. It sounds kind of strange, but the wonderful flavor of the spiced pumpkin goes great with the creamy cream cheese. I would recommend this one for Thanksgiving dessert.
I only gave Baking Low Carb three stars because of the "same-ness" of the textures in the recipes. I understand that until food chemists come up with a low-carb cake flour we will all have to find other alternatives. This is a good start.

Summary: I LOVE THIS COOKBOOK!!! A MUST FOR LOW CARBERS!
Comment: This is one of the BEST low carb cookbooks I have come across! The recipes are absoultely fabulous! Ms. Lee's Bread recipe is the best I have ever tried! Bread is one thing we low carbers tend to miss, but not any more!! The whole book is super and a bargain at this price!! The recipes are easy, simple to understand and follow, and turn out mouth watering! There is no excuse to cheat, when these options are at your disposal! I especially appreciated the "Before You Begin" section and how she took the time to explain how low carb baking would differ slightly in baking time, storing ect. She also gives ingrediants to have before hand, which are featured in her recipes. Where you can find them, online or off!! Complete with url's and phone numbers! I also love the fact that whey powder is used in the recipes as I have never like the flavor of soy protein powders. Could explain why I have not found one recipe that was not devoured by my whole family, low carbers and non low carbers! All the carb counts and protein counts are listed with each recipe making this book excellant for any low carb program follower. This book has got it all! A MUST for any low carber, diabetic, or just plain anyone in my opinion!! I just LOVE IT!

Summary: Low carber for life!
Comment: I am able to low carb as a way of life because I have been able to bake the muffins and breads in this book. Diana Lee was one of the first people to write a low carb baking cookbook and you can tell she took the task to heart. She spends time telling the reader where to find the ingredients for her recipes and will answer any questions you have via email. It is obvious she cares about what she writes. This book is a great value for the price.
