Summary: Not Really Low-Carb, Just Small Portions
Comment: This is actually a good cookbook with many delicious recipes. However, it's almost as though the authors prepared a lovely cookbook and decided at the last minute to call it Low-Carb and so downsized the portions so as to manage the carb count. People who are on low-carb diets often do so because they're overweight and have large appeitites. 1/16 of a piece of cake from an 8-inch cake pan isn't going to make anyone happy to have consumed 1/3 of their daily carb allowance.

Summary: Deceptive title
Comment: The consensus is that this book is not very good. The title is suspiciously similar to "500 Low-carb Recipes" by Dana Carpender, which is highly recommended.

Summary: 501 Recipes for a Low-Carb Life
Comment: This is a really tempting book at first full of all sorts of foods I didn't know I could have on a low carb diet but then there's a catch. One salad recipe is for 12 servings, another dessert recipe is for 8. There's hardly one recipe for less than 6 servings and it's not like the servings are large, they're tiny. I estimate most of the recipes would feed two or three people realistically, which really boost the carbs-per-serving. Sure, you can have an approicot dessert, as long as you have two bites. Advice: watch what they consider a "serving."
