A low carbers life saver!, Oct 11 2004
By Freesiangel - Published on Amazon.com
Even though I have always loved to cook, I lost the desire to do so after starting the low carb lifestyle a little over a year ago. Bland salads and grilled chicken breasts were my staples. I found myself browsing the cookbook section of a book store one day and began flipping through Dana's book - I was hooked. I picked it up and spent 4 hours straight reading everything (I had a long car ride to do so). I spent about two weeks making all sorts of recipes from this book and fell in love with cooking all over again. I still use recipes from this and several of her other books several times a week, but I finally popped back into the creative mood and spend the other days experimenting with my own low carb recipes!! Thanks Dana. (c:

Why would anyone sell this book!, Jun 9 2005
By seekingstyle - Published on Amazon.com
I bought this book used from Amazon.com and frankly I was skeptical. The reviews are what made me buy it. I have bought cookbooks in the past and paid up to $30.00 for them and was able to use only 1, maybe 2, recipes from the book. This book is AWESOME! I am actually reading it page for page. I tried 2 recipes the day I got it and can't wait to try more. I am about to order all Dana's other books. Again my question is why would anyone ever sell this book!

That Dana Carpender Knows Her Stuff, Jun 11 2010
By Mary E. Brian "Liz Brian" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: 500 Low-carb Recipes (Paperback)
Of all the low carb cookbooks I own, those by Dana Carpender really strike a chord with me. I like her books for several reasons.In the beginning, she covers items essential to a low carb pantry and her product knowledge is vast. For example, she explains the difference among soy powder, soy flour and soy milk as well as discussing different polyols and their pros and cons, and includes resources for online purchase of low carb products.
Her books do not just contain one or 2 recipes that one might use, but many that are worth a try. When I am looking for a low carb recipe, I go first to Dana. I have done breads, muffins, quiches, catsup, eggplant parmesan, mockalhua and stuffed mushrooms, to name a few.
Finally, she writes in a breezy style that I find appealing, and offers suggestions for options and substitutions in the recipes. Reading her books has given me many ideas as to how to create the foods I want to eat while keeping the carbs under control. As I am not great fan of eggs, seemingly the mainstay of low carb breakfasting, her breakfast and baked goods recipes are most useful to me.
I currently own 3 of her books and although I already own too many cookbooks, I'm being tempted to buy her slow cooker book. I would unreservedly recommend her books to anyone who wants to move those high carb foods out of his/her kitchen, replace them with low carb substitutes and use those substitutes to create tasty, low carb dishes.
