Four low-carb cookbooks, any of these good?

[JohnSantos]

They're all rated highly on Amazon, was just wondering for anyone that owns these: What phase are they aimed for? Induction, Phase 1, etc. I'd hate to get all of them, and find out that none are applicable for induction.

thanks!

Re: Four low-carb cookbooks, any of these good?

I don't have advice about the books, but I'd recommend trying some of the recipes by Dana Carpender & George Stella before you buy the books. I've not heard good things about Dana Carpender's recipes. I've tried some of George Stella's recipes...some I liked, some I didn't. Here are some online recipe resources that I like:

Linda's Low Carb Menus & Recipes - Home I try to read the reviews before making the recipe. These can be hit or miss, as she seems to post some very mediocre recipes, but there are also some that are very good.

Atkins Recipes - Course - Just be sure to avoid any recipes using "frankenfoods" or ingredients that aren't suitable for induction or whatever rung you're on. I've made tons of these recipes and I've been very happy with them.


The Lighter Side of Low-Carb - Again, make sure they are suitable for induction or whatever rung you are on. I love the "Pizza", but I'm in OWL.

Simply Recipes Food and Cooking Blog Not specifically a low carb website, but she has many low carb recipes. These are very good. I never thought I'd make Ceviche before I found this blog.

Yes those are pretty good. I like Carpender. I have not seen the Stella cookbook. I like his recipes from the food network. He is not quite Atkins though. Take a look at google books too. You may find some examples there.
