Product Description

LOW-CARB ISN'T JUST A DIET—it’s a lifestyle. Yet current low-carb cookbooks offer only standard, follow-the-plan recipes. None take the innovative “food-as-pleasure” approach that only a trained restaurant chef—and low-carb weight-loss success story—can offer.
    Karen Barnaby is Executive Chef at Vancouver’s award-winning restaurant, The Fish House in Stanley Park, and the author of several popular cookbooks. Five years ago, she discovered low-carbing and lost 70 pounds. Now she lives a low-carb lifestyle, teaching classes and spreading the word through her exciting new cookbook.
    With over 250 easy-to-prepare dishes, from simple to sophisticated, The Low-Carb Gourmet is for food lovers who enjoy preparing delicious meals that follow low-carb principles. Try Chicory with Hot Pancetta Dressing, Thai BBQ Chicken and German Chocolate Cake. Tips on living the low-carb lifestyle, including meal planning, grocery shopping and entertaining, round out the book. A terrific cookbook even for those not following the Atkins or the South Beach diets, The Low-Carb Gourmet sets a new standard in pleasurable, healthy eating.
