Synopsis

Over 230 delicious recipes and each are less than 10 grams carbohydrates per serving! Lauri's Low-Carb Cookbook contains a large variety of cooking styles with both easy recipes and those that cater to a gourmet.

This wonderful collection of recipes will be your constant companion in the kitchen to support your low-carb diet. These recipes were designed specifically for the Dr. Atkins' diet, yet they are great for any type of low-carb diet including, Protein Power, Sugar Busters, the Carbohydrate Addict's Diet, etc.

The first edition of Lauri's Low-Carb Cookbook was a limited edition to test the market demand for such a cookbook. Due to its overwhelming success and some great suggestions from readers, Lauri has completely revised the cookbook, including a new easy-to-read recipe format, correcting typographical errors, many new recipes, additional nutritional information, a new paperback binding which lays , and so on.

More than 50 new recipes have been added including a section of Vegetarian Main Dishes. The "Helpful Hints" section has also been expanded, responding to frequently asked questions to the author from dieters new to the low-carb program. A section on Menu Planning & Shopping List has also been added.

Each recipe now includes a per serving analysis of calories, fat and protein, in addition to the grams of carbohydrates. Although this supplementary nutritional information is not necessary for those on the Dr. Atkins' Diet, it could be useful for those on the many other variations of a low-carb diet. The calculations for the nutritional analysis are based on United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) publications with some additional information obtained from food manufacturers.

1. Rapid Weight Loss
2. More Energy
3. No Hunger
4. Satisfying Meals

About this title

About the Author

Lauri Ann Randolph is a master in the kitchen! She loves to cook and loves to eat good food. Weight gain has been a life long problem complicated by a slow metabolism, a hypothyroid condition and now menopause. Over the years, Lauri has tried almost every diet available to her but with no success until the Dr. Atkins' diet when she lost 45 pounds in just 5 months. Lauri's diet support friend, Suzan, lost 85 pounds in only 6 months (and Suzan even cheated from time to time).

Lauri's motivation for publishing her cookbook came from the overwhelming demand for copies of her recipes. Lauri attends one or more pot luck events per month. She always brings a low-carb dish so she is assured something great to eat without cheating on her diet. Friends are constantly asking her for her recipes, not even aware that all her recipes are diet food.

Sister Cream Cheese
Makes 8 servings.
Each Serving has: 2.3g carbs, 390 calories, 37.0g fat, 13.7g protein

8 oz cream cheese
2 scallions, chopped
1 garlic clove, finely chopped or crushed
8 green olives w/pimento, chopped
6 walnut halves, chopped
1/4 tsp black pepper, coarsely ground

1. Soften cream cheese (you can heat it in the microwave).
2. Coarsely chop olives and walnuts.
3. Mix all ingredients together and serve.

Serving Ideas: Serve on Alpine Bakery flat bread, endive leaves or on squares of cut bell peppers. Stuff in celery, mushrooms or hollowed out cherry tomatoes. It can also be rolled up in roasted red bell peppers (pat dry) secured with a tooth pick. For a light lunch, try rolling it up in a thin slice of roast beef, ham, turkey or a fresh leaf of lettuce.

Please note that many of these serving methods will add carbohydrates, so be careful what you choose and how much you eat. I most often cut up a green or red bell pepper (patted dry) and place 1 serving of the Sister Cream Cheese on each square. The peppers will add about 1g carbs per serving.

This is one of my favorite appetizer to bring to a party, it always gets many praises!
