    I bought both of these books and really hoped they would be good. I saw him the day before on TV. Well the books came and I should have returned them because the ingredients are not realisitic. These are not things that I would ever have on hand. All of the recipes are strange, I doubt I will ever cook one thing from them.

    This book had raving reviews so I bought it as a gift for my sister who is pregnant and has gestational diabetes. To avoid taking insulin she’s had to go low-carb but it’s getting monotinous. Hence, the loving sister ordered her a cookbook because she loves to cook. After I received it and looked through it I was surprised at the number of recipes that called for “Sugar substitute – recommended: Splenda.” Yikes! THE SUGAR SUBSTITUTE/SPLENDA RECIPES ARE MOSTLY IN THE DESSERT SECTION. Splenda is an artificial chemical sweetner which contains chlorine (a carcinogen) and a host of other chemicals. Although it has been approved by the FDA as safe (in short term studies only.) After reading George’s response to my comments I think there are less recipes than I though calling for a sugar substitute (about 20%) and if he’s right (which he should be) they are mostly in the dessert section. So this low-carb cookbook is mostly good for prego’s if you ignore the dessert section. Just know in advance what you’re getting!

    Yes, 1 star. So disappointed in this book. I raced out to purchase after reading reviews. My first experience with low carb cooking/eating. Recently diagnosed with diabetes. I’ve always watched fat. Boy this book is full of it! I tried the zucchini ‘fries’. Supposed to cook for 15 minutes, I cooked 30 – still no crispiness, and yes, I had them on a rack. They were limp as noodles. I thought well, just eat them with a fork – new zucchini recipe. Ate one bite, so salty they were disgusting. Into the trash. Got up with a new attitude this morning, made the ‘delicious’ banana muffins. Oh. My. Goodness. They never really browned. The appearance was lumpy, texture was grainy, they were so so heavy and so so sweet. Sure didn’t look nor taste like any muffin I ever saw! Recipe made 6 – 5.75 in the trash. Out the money for the book and many ingredients……I should put the book in the trash with the food. Lots of recipes for marinated veggies, roasted veggies……I don’t call these recipes, I call them common knowledge. I also bought his other book at the same time. Haven’t used it so that one will go back for 2 reasons. 1) bad recipes in the other book and 2) no calorie or fat content listed in the other book – only carbs. I have to see the fat content because I just can’t eat all that fat that’s in a big part of the book. Many recipes unusable right off the bat.

    I ordered both of the George Stella cookbooks and am pleased with the selection of recipes and narrative of his story with the low carb lifestyle. I would recommend the purchase.
