The Fat Gram Guide to Restaurant Food or Low Carb Baking and Dessert Cookbook

The Fat-Gram Guide to Restaurant Food

Author: Joseph C Piscatella

You can't cut fat if you don't know where it is, and now Joseph C. Piscatella, author of Don't Eat Your Heart Out Cookbook and other diet and health books, with over 2 million copies in print continues his quest to make fat-reduction easier to implement. The Fat-Gram Guide to Restaurant Food gives the fat-grams, calories, and percentage of calories from fat for over 3,500 of the most commonly ordered restaurant dishes. It includes fast-food offerings by franchise, and it is the only guide to sit-down restaurant meals. Here are breakfasts, from McDonaldís Pancakes to Sausage McMuffin. (Choose the pancakes.) Lunches and brunches. And of course all manner of dinner foods, from beef to fish, Mexican to Japanese.

In addition to its convenient alphabetical listings, the guide provides Joe Piscatella's own strategy for making smarter choices in restaurants. And he should know. A tireless speaker and promoter for his books, he is on the road 100 days out of the year, eating out during every one of them.

Low-Carb Baking and Dessert Cookbook

Author: Mary Dan Eades MD

Scrumptious, easy-to-make low-carb breads, pastries, and confections from a chef who is revolutionizing low-carb cooking and eating

"Ursula has worked tirelessly to develop scores of recipes for breads, biscuits, pastries, cookies, pies, cakes, candy, and confections that are not merely low-carb, they’re delicious to boot! Her culinary alchemy gives us all a leg up on the learning curve to make luscious low-carb treats that, if we use them wisely, will make it that much easier to stick to the low-carb plan for life."

–From the Foreword by Dr. Mary Dan Eades, M.D.

coauthor of The Low-Carb Comfort Food Cookbook

In The Low-Carb Baking and Dessert Cookbook, low-carb chef par excellence Ursula Solom–the ingenious chef who is revolutionizing the way the low-carb world cooks–proves that you don’t have to sacrifice the delights of your favorite high-carb treats to live a low-carb lifestyle.

From Basic White Bread, Date Bread, Peanut Butter Chocolate Muffins, Honey Spice Cookies, and Macadamia Nut Biscotti to Strawberry Soufflé, Tiramisu, and Praline Truffles, The Low-Carb Baking and Dessert Cookbook is packed with more than 200 easy-to-prepare recipes for savory treats and scrumptious sweets that will satisfy your high-carb cravings while helping you slim down, shape up, and realize all the benefits of low-carb living.

Library Journal

Despite the recent glut of low-carb cookbooks, few have focused only on baking and desserts, so this title might fill a special niche. However, not surprisingly, low-carb baking is not particularly easy. Solom, coauthor with Mary Dan Eades and Michael Eades of The Low-Carb Comfort Food Cookbook, uses a variety of special ingredients to adapt baked goods to a low-carb program, from soy protein powder and almond meal to vital wheat gluten, sugar-free chocolate, and xylitol, an expensive "sugar alcohol" that, Solom notes, may have undesirable side effects. Many of the recipes have lengthy ingredients lists, and while some of them may be healthful, they don't have much appeal as a sweet treat (Soy Grit Cookies, anyone?). Unlike those with wheat allergies and the like who must monitor their diets carefully or suffer often severe consequences, most Atkins fans may not want to spend hours in the kitchen making breads and desserts when low-carb baked goods are increasingly available in supermarkets.
