I hate to put a dampener on things, but I have this book and I'm not overly impressed...

A lot of the recipes have more carbs than I like to eat at one meal (Lentils with Mushrooms - 72grams, White Bean Soup - 60grams, etc).

Many of the meals are not really recipes but just carb guides - like Oatmeal with Raspberries and Basic Vegetable Salad.

I've only tried a couple of the dishes as I didn't find them very inspiring, they're OK, but nothing better than I've come up with myself by just throwing low carb ingredients in a pan.

And maybe it's because I lack imagination, but I do like recipe books to have pictures of the dishes - this has none.

I'm a big fan of high-protein meat replacements like soya-mince, veggie burgers, quorn, and the like, but they don't really appear in the recipes here - I have seen one with veggie sausages tho and she does use a lot of tofu.

I'd have liked to have seen more breakfast ideas - something I've seen a lot of posts about on here. But they're mostly cereal or fruit based in this book - which is a bit high carb for me.

But at £6.99, it's not a bad price (altho, it is only a small, paperback book) and might have some ideas for you - I'd say it'd be best for a vegetarian just starting to learn about LC who is not going very low on the carbs.


Sorry, I really hate to be negative, but I'm afraid this book just does do it for me.

I have this book and am not very impressed with it either. For those that are still looking, if you search at google, you'll come across a link to a low carb vegetarian cookbook (ebook). It has tons of recipes - all better than this little book.

I also like the vegetarian e-book; it was well worth the money. I am gradually printing out all recipes and keeping them in a loose-leaf folder.

There is a great book out here called 'The Vegetarian Low Carb Diet' by Rosie Elliot. It has some great information on protein sources and also has recipes as well. It can be found at http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos...7833412-6560660

I too have the Vegetarian low Carb Diet by Rose Elliot, and it is awesome. It can be ordered through amazon.com

She has a cookbook coming out soon, and I'll be ordering that too, but it seems as of this date, it's only available through amazon.com uk. Hopefully when it's released amazon.com US will carry it tool.

I really like her style of writing - very casual and friendly - and the recipes are really nice. I can't wait for her cookbook!
