Product Description

Studies show that low-carbohydrate dieting works to take weight off and improve cholesterol. As more and more people switch to the Atkins diet or variations of it, they will need recipes! 15-Minute Low-Carb Recipes offers over 200 recipes that can be made in 15 minutes or less.

Capitalizing on the runaway success of 500 Low-Carb Recipes, this book offers all-new quick and easy recipes that will be a godsend to low-carbers everywhere.

About the Author

Best-selling author Dana Carpender was startled to discover that limiting her carbohydrate intake not only helped her control her weight, but produced the health and vitality a low fat diet had promised but never delivered. Fifteen years later, she laughs at people who say “You can’t eat that way long-term.” Her eight cookbooks are the result of her realization that the key to permanent dietary change is the answer to the age-old question, “What’s for supper?” To date they have sold over a million copies worldwide. Dana blogs about low carb nutrition at www.HoldtheToast.com; her weekly blog digest goes out to over 20,000 readers. She is also Managing Editor of CarbSmart Magazine at http://www.CarbSmart.com, as well as a featured staff writer. She launches her internet radio show, Dana's Low Carb For Life, on Labor Day 2010. Dana lives in Bloomington, Indiana with her husband and a menagerie of pets, all of whom are well and healthily fed.

5.0 out of 5 stars I timed these recipes., Mar 28 2004

This review is from: 15 Minute Low-Carb Recipes: Instant Recipes for Dinners, Desserts, and More! (Paperback)
I have actually used my stopwatch to time myself making several of these recipes, and I really was right around 15 minutes! The few that took me a minute or two longer I chalked up to my inexperience as a cook, or not having a certain ingredient at my fingertips before I started. My favorites so far have been Fish and Asparagus with Tarragon Mustard Sauce, Easy Mexicali Chicken, and Fried "Rice" (cauliflower). I've even made some of the recipes before work in the morning, taken a serving with me for lunch, then had the rest available for dinner, if I wanted it. Great idea for our busy lives, Dana!

5.0 out of 5 stars Delightfully Useful Surprisingly Good, May 6 2004
This review is from: 15 Minute Low-Carb Recipes: Instant Recipes for Dinners, Desserts, and More! (Paperback)
I've been low-carbing for years and years, so I have checked out most of what's on the market - especially as the "fad" aspects have increased, with fake-foods and marketing everywhere, most "low carb" cookbooks have been a real disappointment. This one is a keeper - useful, sensible, delicious and actually 15 minutes to prepare in most cases. I cannot recommend it highly enough. If you only buy two low-carb books, make one your particular plan's official tome, and make the other one Dana Carpender's book.

3.0 out of 5 stars Sometimes fast *is* more important than great, Mar 15 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: 15 Minute Low-Carb Recipes: Instant Recipes for Dinners, Desserts, and More! (Paperback)
There are some good recipes in this book, but too many of them seem to be of the throw-together-don't-really-need-a-recipe variety. If you really detest cooking I suppose those would be valuable. Dana Carpender *is* strict about adhering to her 15-minute rule, though, which is a big help on those too-busy-to-cook days. I wouldn't rely on this as my only low-carb cookbook, nor do I consider it a must-have, although it rounds out a collection. If time isn't your only concern, I recommend Extreme Lo-Carb Cuisine by Sharron Long, which has more interesting and inspired recipes.
