Fran McCullough is a faculty member of the annual food writing course for professionals taught at the Culinary Institute of America at Greystone.
While low-fat diets may work for some people, others have a quite different problem: an inability to metabolize carbohydrates properly, called hyperinsulemia. After McCullough (Great American Food Without Fuss, LJ 2/15/97) discovered that she had hyperinsulemia, she lost 60 pounds on a low-carbohydrate diet. Hers is not a diet cookbook per se?she refers readers to sources such as Michael and Mary Dan Eades's Protein Power (Bantam, 1996) and Rachel and Richard Heller's Healthy for Life (NAL Dutton, 1995) for weight-loss regimes?but a collection of delicious recipes for those forced to restrict their carbohydrate intake for the long term. After the glut of "fear-of-fat" books, here is a cookbook for those for whom pasta is the enemy, heavy cream an ally. McCullough is a good cook who enjoys food, and others in her predicament will welcome her book. Sure to be in demand, this is recommended for any diet collection.
