 Great BBQ and Grilling for Low Carbers |
| Review Date: June 5, 2004 |
| Reviewer: Lisa Shea, |
| Dana Carpender has done it again with The Low-Carb Barbecue Book. I really have to say this is the book to have to create delicious, healthy summer foods! Grilling is of course just about perfect low carb food - it involves fresh fish, fresh chicken, and lots of fresh vegetables. However, there are a few dishes in classic BBQ that are notoriously high carb, like potato salad and baked beans. Dana helps with everything. There are of course the rubs and marinades, the instructions on grilling and BBQing (and how they differ). There are lots of great spice combos that can be helpful to new cooks, but are second-hand to experienced grillers. Where the book really shines is in the side dishes and extras. The variety of mock-potato salad are great. There are various slaws and salads, plus a wide array of desserts. The drinks section is fun but again, what low carb drinker doesn't know about mixing rum and diet coke? Is vodka plus sugar-free lemonade really worth a mention? I'd much rather have had those pages pointed at appetizers or more side dishes. Still, summertime's parties and picnics will become much easier for low carbers who don't have to worry if something is OK to eat or not. By following the recipes in this book, you're sure to get a delicious dish that is truly low carb and healthy for you. Highly recommended! |

| I love all of the Dana Carpender cookbooks, and this one is no exception. Both her writing and cooking styles are a lot of fun, and I have yet to make a recipe I didn't like out of her books. The Chipotle Garlic Butter is already a favorite in our house, and we've only had the book a few days. The recipes are simple to follow with easy to find ingredients, and the results are delicious. |

| Outstanding! This is the 3rd Dana Carpender cookbook I have and it is probably my favorite. Great recipes and great fun to use! I have been de-carbing recipes from my favorite BBQ cookbook and was relieved to see that I was on the right track. |
Dana has done it again!!!

I love this book. For those of you who enjoy traditional barbecue and picnic-style foods, this book is a must have.
So many cookbooks are filled with fancy recipes that you would only make on special occasions. What do you do when you're craving onion rings or your Mom's cole slaw but know you can't have those on your low-carb diet? Dana Carpender's Low Carb Barbecue Book is filled with low-carb versions of all the foods you really want and crave.
The first of the book gives tips on grilling techniques and tools and lists some speciality ingredients that are used.
There is a large section on sauces and rubs, followed by pork, poultry, beef, seafood, and kebabs. There are also sections on vegetables, slaws, sides, beverages and desserts.
Dana Carpender uses Atkins bake mixes in the recipes for hush puppies and onion rings, just a warning for those who cannot find those in your area. She also uses Splenda in tons of the recipes if you don't like the use of Splenda.
I think the recipes are delicious and the ones for the low-carb baked beans, unpotato salad, and the peanut butter and jelly pie are worth the purchase of the book alone. |
Very good

| I love to grill, but have always felt bad about all the sugar most recipes ask for. This book uses Splenda as a substitute. So far what I've cook out of this book has been a hit with the family. Even grandma liked the stuff I was pulling off the grill. |
