Product Description

Product Description
The number of people who follow the famous Atkin's low-carbohydrate diet has gone off the scale in recent times. But until now there has not been a single book for vegetarians who want to try a low-carb lifestyle. Not only that, but for the millions of people who want to reduce their carbohydrate intake, but who don't want to eat meat ALL the time, there has seemed to be no other option. Celia Brooks Brown's 'Low-carb Vegetarian' offers a complete range of easy, satisfying and stylish low-carb recipes designed specifically for vegetarians. With all recipes approved by the well-known nutritionist Fiona Hunter, the book offers a varied and exciting menu, that doesn't limit choice in any way. All the recipes are easy to cook, and are high in protein, but relatively low in fat and, of course, low in carbohydrates. Nutritional information is given with each recipe, and ingredients with special health-giving properties are highlighted (eg. Chilli Crust Brazil nuts are high in selenium). A complete diet is included, from fortifying breakfasts and satisfying main courses, to light lunches and snacks. There are even chapters on party food and sweet desserts. 'Low-carb Vegetarian' is the ideal companion for those who are trying to lose weight and also those who simply want to follow a long-term weight-maintenance lifestyle.

About the Author
Celia Brooks Brown was born in Colorado, USA, and moved to Britain in 1989. She now lives in north London. She runs a successful vegetarian catering company, with celebrity clients including Stella McCartney. As well as writing for magazines such as 'BBC Good Food', she makes regular television appearances on the UK Food channel and gives live demonstrations at the world-famous Books for Cooks Cookery School, the Sainsbury's Gourmet Club and Divertimenti Cookery School. She is the author of 'New Vegetarian' (Ryland Peters & Small) and 'Entertaining Vegetarians' (Pavilion).

5.0 out of 5 stars no weird ingredients and it all tastes good!, 12 Aug 2008
By mini_chick (Coventry, UK) - See all my reviews
I bought this as well as a couple of other low carb books a couple of weeks ago. The recipes in this particular book have really lifted my spirits for two main reasons. Firstly it uses foodstuffs which you can mainly find in your store cupboard at best, or in high street healthfood stores at worst and secondly because they make food which tastes good as opposed to worthy! I have yet to find a recipe involving wheat protein powder and the like!
There is a good balance of interesting and healthy food - each recipe allowing you to balance carbs, protein, calories and fat throughout your day. All the recipes I've cooked so far have been delicious - and enjoyed by me and others who have not necessarily known they were eating low carb.
If for nothing else, you should buy this book for the almond muffins for breakfast, I'm lucky if I get to eat them myself as the rest of the family have taken to them.
I would really recommend this book to any vegetarian wanting to low carb - it's been a relief to find it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yum!, 22 Sep 2008
By E. Parker (Leicester, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
CBB's recipes are quick and easy to follow. Moreover, the food is delicious - you'll want to eat these dishes even if you aren't vegetarian or on a low-carb diet. If you are, you'll be pleased to know that they work; I'm enjoying food more than before and losing weight. This is the best cookery book I've ever bought.

4.0 out of 5 stars Low-Carb Vegetarian, 15 Nov 2008
By E. Drew - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
An interesting mix of recipes, but I found them a bit over-reliant on cheese and somewhat expensive ingredients. That said, the ones I tried did taste very nice. Not a book for those watching the pennies!

1.0 out of 5 stars A little disappointing
I was a bit disappointed by this. The recipe's all seemed rather predictable and a little, well, dull. Not one that I will regularly dip into for inspiration.
