Format:Paperback
This book is printed on poor quality grey paper with no photo or illustrations. The recipes are fast because they are often microwaved and use bought sauces and other shop bought ingredients. The whole book is far too American. not just in the use of cups as a measurement but with lots of unfamiliar ingredients.
Many of the food combinations are odd and unappealing to a British palate.

Tasty, tasty success.
8 Jun 2011
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
When I started low-carbing, I soon realised that if I wanted to maintain my weight loss and new lifestyle that I would have to basically re-learn how to cook. I began a messy, experimental phase - downloading dodgy recipes off the internet, hunting down rare and expensive ingredients and throwing out batches of ruined food when I messed up. I'm a lazy chef at the best of times, and I didn't want to be spending so much time, money and energy trying to maintain my diet.
Enter 300 15minute recipes.
This is exactly what I was looking for to solve my daily dinner dilemmas.
- The recipes are easy to follow, including multi-tasking instructions (e.g. when part of the meal is in the oven, do the vegetable steaming in the microwave) which simplify my evenings (who wants to spend an hour in the kitchen when you get home from work?!).
- The book uses common ingredients that even an Australian can get her hands on.
- Techniques and specialty ingredients are very clearly described up front, then explained again as needed.
- And the recipes have been trialled and tested, so tasty, tasty success is pretty much assured.
I'm still stunned by the sheer variety of recipes in here. I may not need to buy a cook book again for a while.
Highly recommended.

Even more great quick lo carb recipes

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Dana Carpender is a great cookbook writer. Every book I have purchased is a good read,with easy to follow directions and they always work. I just made her 15 minute bbq ribs and they turned out great. It was as simple as dry rubbing the ribs, placing them in the slow cooker on low for 8 hours and enjoyiong them for supper. The ribs were firm enough to place on the grill for a finishing touch. I enjoy the variety of recipes. The low carb menues have helped me to lose weight and keep my blood sugar in the normal range. You might enjoy"Dana's Low Carb for Life" web site which includes informative pod casts on low carb living and cooking.

Love it

I find this book to be very easy to navigate and use. True to its word, the recipes take 15 min or less to make. Every recipe has been great. It is so nice have someone already de-carb my favorite recipes. I have yet to find one I don't like. If you only get one of Dana's cookbooks, I would strongly suggest this one.
