 Addition At The "Top" of Low-Carb Cooking Jan 11, 2005
By rodboomboom
This is one of the best of the plethora of low carb cookbooks in the train that this glycemic index relevaltion has created.
Why one of the best? How about a family of four losing a combined total of 560 pounds on it? How about a gourmet chef who gives us what worked with them to achieve this? How about unique approach and recipes which apply this?
I was attracted to this after watching George on his FoodNetwork program. He is very humble, yet reliable credentialed chef who has experiemnted with many twists and combos of good cooking yet with low carb.
It avoids lots of the scientific stuff but emphasizes what must happen in pantry and cooking to achieve a healthier diet habit. Sugar and carbs are of course the focus. His approach is doable and the taste is exceptional. I especially like his approach with heavy cream, butter and low-carb foods.
What I find especially attractive is his breakfast section, one of the toughest meals of the day for most of us to habitually maintain healthy and yet one of the most important. So there is such variety and ease of prep here, with great muffin and omelet and blinis and quiche. Great advice to make them up in advance, freeze and then micro each morning with coffee. Try: "Ham and Cheddar Morning Muffins" or "George's Gorgeous Macadamia Banana Muffins" or "On-Hand Omelet."
The other menu sections are equally creative, filling and easy to prep: Grilled Country-Style Pork Ribs with Bourbon Barbecue Sauce; Ham and Mock Potato Soup; Chocolate Pecan Brownies with Cream Cheese Frosting; Jicama Matchstick Fries; Minute Steak Salad; Tequilla Chicken;
There are some 125 recipes in this collection, with easy to follow instructions and advice as well as some color photos. I appreciate the choice of paperback and resultant price for this. Great addition to one's collection or as only low carb source. Highly recommended.

 Very good low carb cookbook... with more soul than most Apr 16, 2005
By Lila B
George really believes in what he's showing both in the book and on TV. I enjoy this book and I enjoy the shows.
The recipes are solid and I haven't hit a turkey yet as I go through and try out various things. I do wish there was less reliance on soy in the baking section, but that's a fairly personal preference. I've heard some grousing about his enthusiastic use of and endorsement of Splenda. Frankly I have no problems with that. Change to a different sweetner if you don't like or want to use Splenda. Cooking is something of an art, and (at least in MY mind) recipes are meant as a "starting point", after which you can embellish, embroider and alter to your personal taste. This cookbook gives lots of good "starting points".
This is a great beginners low carb cookbook or one for someone who can't afford many on their shelves. Solid recipes, good gamut of choices, written by someone who isn't just jumping on the bandwagon, but actually LIVES a low-carb lifestyle.

Book of the year Jan 04, 2005
By Mark D. Harmon
People say this is a great low carb cook book, no it is a great Cook book. I feed George Stella recipes to my friends who are not on a diet and they love it. This man is a great chef. We need more books from him.

We're Believers of the Stella Way Jul 26, 2005
By A. Brown
I know I feel better when I eat a low carb diet but getting my husband to join me has often been difficult. I tried Atkins but I don't want to go out and buy all his prepackaged foods. Plus, they were't all that tasty. For the last two weeks, I have tried a variety of the recipes with great success. Our favorite is the Tequila Chicken, thought the Mock Mashed Potatos are delicious too. Baking with soy powder is fine, I can't tell a difference really. George has a sweeter tooth than us so we find we might reduce some of the sweetener in the recipes too. George uses more salt than we do so I just cut it out when I can. I am excited aobut cooking agina, about eating well, I feel better than I have in months and best of all, mu husband says everything I've made is fabulous and we share more dinners together. I recommend to anyone.

Best LC book on the market!1 Apr 10, 2005
By Janice M. Clare
"Salzajan"
Since I was diagnosd type II diabetic 2.5 years ago, finding really good Low Carb cookbooks has been a challange. I saw George on the Foodnetwork on his show Low Carb and Lovin' It and was floored by how easy and delicious his recipes looked.
As soon as i found out he had a book with all of his recipes in it, I bought it.
I was not let down at all. I have made so many of the delicious recipes, my weight has droppd, by blood sugars are wonderful.
Some of my favorite recipes are Easy Cheesy Chicken Chili, Crepes, Cheesecake...I could go on and on.
I strongly suggest you buy this book...you won't be let down!!!!
