Anyone have "Dr. Atkins's Quick & Easy New Diet Cookbook"?

[katiewash]

Is it worth getting? Is there a specific print date that is good (like the book)? Thanks for any recommendations regarding this book.

Here's a real cheap one. Can't waste too much by trying (although I don't have one so can't vouch for it):

I have that one in a box somewhere...can't recall how good it is or not. I, personally, like Dana Carpenders 500 Low Carb Recipes and George Stella's Livin Low Carb cookbooks. Each of them have a couple (or more) books out. George Stella's books especially don't use a bunch of low carb baking products that are hard to find--you can easily find all the ingredients for his recipes at the grocery stores.

I think I have it somewhere in my bookcase. Haven't used it much. But then again, I haven't used Dana's 500 LC Book much, after the horrid results with a couple recipes I made from it.

Wasted my money, in my opinion, when I can get such wonderful recipes on the Internet, and they have been tried by "real" people.

But, perhaps my tastes are different.

I have that book as well, and like cmcole says, "it's somewhere.."

'Nuff said. LOL

I wouldn't buy it again, especially when there are so many recipes on the net that are incredible. Stella's book and Dana's books are worth the purchase though, IMHO!

Ya wanna know something? After being on Atkins for 3 years, I've found that there are loads of naturally low carb recipes in regular cookbooks and magazines. Baked goods and most desserts are exceptions. But meat, eggs, and veg/fruit recipes---you're better off looking in regular cookbooks, because regular cookbooks typically won't require you to find some gum thickener that might not be absolutely necessary to the dish.
