For vegetarians, trying to follow a low-carb diet is difficult, as they depend on grains, pasta, bread, and other high-carb foods to get required calories and nutrition, while the popular low-carb diets are based on meat. The authors first present a comprehensive introduction to low-carb dieting for vegetarians -- why it works, what to eat or avoid eating, what to expect as a realistic weight loss, and how to keep it off. The recipes, all entrees, include Eggplant and Zucchini Casserole, Quiche Lorraine, Artichoke Pie, Apricot Cheese Melt, Swiss Cheese and Spinach Pinwheels, Greek Lentil Stew, and over a hundred fifty more. Each recipe includes net carbs and complete nutrition data.
Every recipe I've tried so far has been excellent - Lentil Vegetable Soup, Mixed Bean and Cheese Salad with Ginger Dressing, Tacos with "Chorizo" and Potatoes! Some of the soups include sides that use low carb bread, for example open-face cucumber cream cheese sandwiches with dill, which also make great snacks. I am a lacto-ovo vegetarian, and loved that this book included cheese and egg dishes. I love beans and lentils and this cookbook showed me some awesome new ways to use them. I also like that it occasionally uses some vegetarian convenience foods, like veggie sausage. All of the ingredients are easy to find in any grocery store. The recipes are easy to follow.
