Summary: Yum... oh, and healthy too!
Comment: Laying it straight out is "Low-Carb Meals in Minutes." Though being pushed by their marketing guys as a "hot diet," it is a legitimate and tasty cookbook and planner.
A lot of the difficulty in diets is getting the infrastructure together. You've got to buy the stuff, budget things, and then schedule your meal plans.
In "Low-Carb Meals in Minutes," you still need to do your homework, but Gassenheimer lays in out in a sensible, easy-to-follow way. She teaches you how.
In fact, one of the first things you'll see is a two-week menu plan to get you going.
I fully recommend this "Low-Carb Meals in Minutes," but I'd better stop writing. Her whisky pork chops would taste great about now.

Summary: This cookbook really works
Comment: When I read the first review, of this book posted here, I thought, this person doesn't get it. Linda Gassenheimer has created a very smart collection of recipes which she groups in three stages of a low-carb diet. The recipes in LOW-CARB MEALS IN MINUES are based on three separate 14-day menu plans for beginning, middle and advance low-carb lifestyles. Each recipe in the menu is part of a particular 14-day plan so that all fat intake is planned. You may get an individual recipe that seems to have more fat than it should, but Gassenheimer has compensated by offering recipes with less fat for breakfast or dinner. Most recipes found in such books as The Zone, Sugar Busters and Dr. Atkin's New Diet Revolution, are not very appetizing. This books is the exception.
I'm a cook so I want to good food and Ms. Gassenheimer, a Cordon-Bleu trained teacher, host of her own NPR food show and James Beard Award-winning author of DINNER IN MINUTES (based on her syndicated column) offers delicious, easy, quick and healthy recipes that the low-carb dieter can live with. Ever try to buy breakfast in a coffeshop or a take-out? Most breakfast items are loaded with carbs--bagels, danish, cereals, bread, french toast, pancakes, waffles, hash brown potatoes--you name it--loaded with carbs. Gassenheimer takes the guess work out of this difficult to organize meal. There are even desserts to enjoy.
Some of my favorite whole meal recipes menus include: shrimp caesar with pears and yogurt, mussels mariniere with mesclun salad, pesto chicken with steamed artichokes and fresh figs, nuevo tex-mex layered salad, pecan ham roll-ups with cinnamon oatmeal, sirloin burger with fresh slaw, asian ginger salmon with sesame broccoli and yellow bean salad, sunny-side up swiss melt, and grilled potobello and canadian bacon omelette.
This is the recipe book us low-carb addicts have been waiting for.

Summary: Well I liked it!
Comment: I thought this book was really good. I did the Atkins diet for 2 weeks then saw the BBC TV programme on the latest research how protein affected appetite. I switched over to the recipes in the book and I feel great and am still losing pounds and not hungry between meals. The book makes everything easy to shop for. We don't have all the ingredients in the UK but its easy to substitute. The grouse from some people is that the meals have too many carbs for a proper low carb meal but the recipes are grouped into 3 parts, 35 to 45 grams, 85 to 95 grams and finally 135 to 145 gram meals. Once I saw the research that it appears to be the protein thats satisfies appetite there was less panic for me in being silly with only eating 20 grams a day. All the recipes were also checked over by 2 cardiologists and nutritionist - I have no complaints whatsover!
