501 Low-carb Recipes

I bought this last summer to offer some variety to my South Beach cooking regime. I've been really pleased with the recipes, can't think of one that has disappointed. Because I've adapted my eating habits to South Beach and not Atkins (low carb, as opposed to no carb)I've found some of the recipies to be a little higher in fat than I would like, but that is something that is easily adjusted. The author does assume some cooking competency and familiarity of kitchen "language" so the book may be a little confusing for the very novice cook. Overall though, I give this book a high rating for delicious, innovative, low carb recipes.
