Good Food: Low-Carb Cooking (Everyday Goodfood)

Very pleased - just what I wanted. As always, purchasing from Amazon was easy and delivery was super fast!

I was sceptical buying this book since it was super cheap and i thought the recipes would just be mainly chicken and vegetable dishes which as a vegetarian is not very helpful but i am so amazed by the recipes in here. There's a good balance of meat and veggie options so it appeals to anyone. The ingredients are also super easy to get unlike some recipe books that want you to use a magical ingredient from outer space that you've never heard of. I also love that it tells you the macros to each recipe, super helpful to anyone tracking them. Im so excited to try some of these out, they all look so delicious. Very happy with my purchase!

I absolutely love the GF books, I am slowly collecting the set, I have marked this down as I was upset that my copy arrived bent and torn at the corner. 😏 I am only just looking into low carb diets, and I'm looking for basic ideas, I don't know how accurate the information that is given per recipe is, but have read a few sad/disappointed comments. I however love the look of a lot of the recipes and I'm keen to try them out. I have the Mediterranean one of these books and have loved loads of recipes in that and so have our children. I have posted a few pictures. Happy cooking.

Using several of the Good Food cookbooks together with portion control, I have lost 6 stones in fifteen months. This book is as good as all the others with tasty, speedy, calorie counted recipes which are easy to prepare and very healthy. If you are being careful with your carb intake, I can recommend this book heartily.

The first recipe in this book is a blackberry compote made with 100g sugar! They get the carb content down to 14g per portion by dividing it into 10! So my initial impression was not good. However, there are some reasonable recipes if you are not being strictly low carb (10-15g carb per portion). I guess this would be Atkins maintenance. I consider myself a bit of an expert because I have lost 8 stone and controlled my diabetes by low carbing. Certainly these recipes would have been out of the question when I was consuming about 40g carb per day. But now I can get away with a bit more, I can use this book, and indeed some of the recipes look delicious. There is a rash of low carb cookbooks out at the moment, written in haste, I suspect, to jump on the bandwagon. It is obvious that the writers don't understand what true low carbing is all about. George Stella is the only one that comes close and he has actually solved his own weight problem by low carbing. He is too American, however, for my food tastes. What we need are British aimed low carb cookbooks with recipes containing 5-10g carb per portion, reasonable sized portions and recipes aimed at 2-4 servings. Don't tell me to buy a tub of yogurt for a recipe, use a tablespoonful, chuck the rest away and divide the portions into 8! This is a useful book for maintenance only.

BBC good food meal book with low carb recipes, tried loads so far and they are all yummy. Easy to make and simple store cupboard ingredients.

Very good

Small and easy to transport around. Easy to read.

Easy to learn

Eines der besten Low-Carb-Kochbücher, die ich kenne. Für den sehr günstigen Preis habe ich nicht viel erwartet, aber das kleine Buch ist voll mit schönen Rezepten, die einem sofort den Magen knurren lassen ;) Fast alles ist mit wenig (Zeit-)Aufwand nachzukochen, die Rezepte sind frisch und modern und die meisten verwendeten Lebensmittel im normalen Supermarkt (sogar hier auf dem Land) zu bekommen. Auch ist eigentlich alles gut nach dem eigenen Geschmack abwandelbar, oft sind dafür sogar direkt Tipps mit im Rezept vermerkt. Des Englischen sollte man schon einigermaßen mächtig sein, bei eventuellen Sprach- oder Umrechnungsschwierigkeiten hilft aber Google. Das Sprachniveau ist nicht künstlich erhöht, sondern gut verständlich.

Good recipes.

An Sich ist das Buch ganz gut und für den Preis bekommt man viele tolle Rezepte. Was ich daran nicht so gut finde ist das viele der Rezepte für den 'normalen' Alltag viel zu umständlich sind oder es werden viel zu viel Zutaten benötigt. Trotzdem gibt es von mir 4 Sterne da ich vorhabe einige der Rezepte irgendwann mal auszuprobieren.

Ich habe mir eigentlich nicht sehr viel erwartet, da es so günstig ist, aber wurde sehr positive überrascht. Alle Rezepte sind einfach beschrieben, und die meisten Zutaten leicht zu finden ( Mit Koriander scheine ich aber leider keine Glück zu haben). Ich hab jetzt schon fünf Rezepte innerhalb ein paar Tagen ausprobiert und alle waren toll. Ich kann jedem, egal ob man ein Low-carb Lifestyle führt oder nicht, dieses kleine kompakte Kochbuch empfehlen.
