Customer Reviews: Review #1: Low carb for life and loving this book 2007-01-29 I sucessfully did low carb in 1999 and lost all the weight I needed o and then in 2003 after birth of my daughter decided to go Low CArb for life as a lifestyle not a short term weigh reduction technique. ANd I absolutely love this book!!! I have actually made many many recipes from this book as well as Dana's other books...versus many other cookbook low carb and regular where I have only made 1 or 2 things. The recipes are more simple than her regular cookbook and that is perfect sometimes I just need a good idea when I can't think of anything to cook for lunch or dinner quickly. I enjoy trying more involved recipes with more specialized ingredents for special meals weekends or company. Any special ingreadents called for in the books I have been able to locate at Kroger, Walmart or for a few items my local health food store. Keep it up Dana many of us Low Carb for Lifers are still out there Review #2: Good for you food made fast and simple! 2007-01-06 I was very pleased with this cook book. The recipes are easy to read and understand and everything I've tried so far has been great! I would recommend this to anyone who's trying to keep their daily intake of carbs to a minimum but would still like to enjoy what they're eating. Review #3: Definitely more than 15 minutes 2006-08-27 I am not too thrilled with this cookbook. Many of the ingredients are not items that you would have readily available in your cabinets or refrigerator. Also, it seems like the preparation and cooking of these recipes would definitely take more than 15 minutes. Review #4: Quick recipes 2006-03-28 Have prepared several quick dinners with the recipes from this books and have been pleased with the results. Review #5: After all these years.... ONE bad review - how funny! 2006-02-21 I love this cookbook. Dana Carpender is serious about the recipes in this book only taking 15 minutes to prepare and they are GREAT. As for the bad review given on Feb. 7, Dana Carpender is actually PROUD of it. Listen to what she told her faithful followers in her latest newsletter to us: "By the way, after two years on the market, and 52 reviews, 15 Minute Low-Carb Recipes finally has a negative review at Amazon! And I'm kind of proud of it. The reviewer doesn't say the recipes aren't good, or the instructions aren't clear - just that the book doesn't have color photos in it (which is why the list price is under $20 - color is expensive!) And that I used outrageous, weird ingredients - you know, like lamb, or gorgonzola cheese. How awful that I didn't stick to ground beef, chicken, and blocks of cheap cheddar!" So buy this cookbook, try the recipes and ENJOY. Especially the ones with the weird ingredients - which I have no problem finding in Missouri. :-)
