Product Description
The Vegetarian Low-Carb Diet Cookbook is the ideal accompaniment to the successful Vegetarian Low-Carb Diet - the fast, no-hunger, healthy way to lose weight. One of the joys of the low-carb lifestyle - and one of the reasons why people find that this is a diet they can stick to - is that the food is delicious, and this book is full of tasty ideas for vegetarians who want the slimming benefits of a low-carb diet. With over 100 fantastic recipes ranging from energising breakfasts and light lunches to satisfying suppers and even sweet treats and desserts, there's something for everyone - vegetarians or vegans wanting to shed some pounds, successful low-carbers looking for new ideas, or anyone who loves fresh-tasting, quick and easy recipes. All the dishes are straightforward, high in protein, low in carbs and packed full of fresh vegetables. Protein and carb counts are provided for each recipe, along with details of which diet phase the recipe is suitable for. There are plenty of vegan recipes and vegan variations are suggested where appropriate. It couldn't be simpler!

Format:Paperback
I found this book very similar to Rose Elliot's other veggie low carb book 'The Vegetarian Low Carb Diet: The Fast, No-hunger Weight Loss Diet for Vegetarians' with some duplicate recipes. However, the extra recipes makes it well worth purchasing this book. Compared with other veggie low carb books, this one makes it very simple to understand how many carbs are in each recipe and therefore make losing weight extremely easy. I would (and do) recommend this book to those wanting to lose weight the veggie way.

I often cater for people with certain dietary needs. One of them is vegetarian, on a low-carb diet and has a wheat allergy.
The veggie bit I'm used to, but the other stuff is tricky until you get this book.
It may not say it on the cover, but this is just as useful for somebody on a wheat-free diet (though not necessarily a gluten-free one) as somebody on a low-carb diet. Since recipes containing wheat are nearly always high carb, they're not in here.
It seems like a bit of a niche product, this recipe book, but the food you make from it is just great food, like anything you'd expect from an experienced food writer like Rose Elliot. It introduces you to a few ideas you wouldn't try otherwise perhaps, but that can only be a good thing.
The recipes I've tried all turn out really well, and the food is so good that the phrase I often hear is, Why can't restaurants serve food like this when it's so easy to do?

I followed the original Atkins diet and forced myself to eat a limited amount of meat. I still lost 2 stone in 3 months but pined for vegetables and vegetarian food. So it was a revelation to find Ms Elliot's low carb vegetarian cookbook. The recipes are easy to follow and the ingredients can be found in either the local supermarket or health food shop. They are also inexpensive, unlike all that meat! I must admit that there are quite a few tofu recipes and also there is a reliance on cheese and eggs, which may be difficult for vegans. Tonight I am trying mockaroni, a tofu based version of macaroni. But it if lets me continue to achieve weight loss without the meat I'm willing to learn to love tofu!
