I've been lowcarbing for over 2 years now and I have to say that this cookbook definitely helped me stick with it! I love the muffin recipes because they're easy to make and great for a fast breakfast...15 seconds in the microwave and they taste like they were made fresh that morning. There's a treat in this book for everyone on a low carb diet and the ingredients are easy to find and inexpensive to buy. I also love the fact that she's beefed the recipes up with protein...I'd recommend this book highly!! -Wende Fisher from Vernon Hills, Illinois
"I recently purchased your book Baking LowCarb. It is without question the BEST lowcarb cookbook in existence (and I probably have them all). The fact that most of the recipes are so high in protein really shows the effort you put into it. EVERY other low carb cookbook I have seen does not bother to take this into account - leaving you with many recipes you wouldn't want to eat every day. Thank you for doing such an excellent job!" -Ron Penna
I recommend Diana's book only slightly less often than I recommend my own. It is utterly indispensible for the low carber who is tired of eggs for breakfast, for the vegetarian low carber who doesn't want to live on tofu, and for anyone who just wants to eat muffins and brownies and zucchini bread again. Oh, and my sister made Diana's bread recipe to make Thanksgiving stuffing from, and gave it rave reviews. I especially like the fact that Diana's recipes don't depend on soy; I've become worried about the effects of a great deal of soy in the diet. Diana's recipes are low carb *and* high protein without it. If you're on a low carb diet, and it's working for you the way that it's worked for so many of us -- you're losing weight and feeling better than you ever have in your life -- then diversifying your low carb menu is essential, so that you'll be happy and satisfied, and stay with this way of eating for life. Diana's book is a *big* help!! BUY IT! -Dana Carpender from Bloomington, IN
"I received the cookbook about a week ago. The bread recipe is wonderful and worth the price of the whole book!. I'm telling all my low carb friends to get the book!" -A Satisfied Customer
Diana Lee has some wonderful recipes in her Baking Low Carb cookbook. I like how she uses whey protein powder + oat flour + vital wheat gluten as the "flour" for most of her recipes. It gives the finished product a different texture than "regular" baked goods, but they're very delicious and satisfying. The one complaint I have is that I've encountered a few recipes that have ingredients missing in the list of ingredients, while in the instructions it mentions it. For example it'll say to add the baking soda, yet there's no mention of baking soda in the list of ingredients. -R Miller from Portland, Oregon
After reading the mixed reviews on this book I was reluctant to buy but at this price, I figured if I liked even one recipe, I was ahead. I was pleasantly suprised to find I liked most of the recipes. Having muffins, with high protein and low carbs, for breakfast was great. The coffee cakes and bread recipe were good. Loved the peanut butter cookies. I have tried some of the mixes that are for sale these days and found them just ok and some not good and expensive. I would rather make my own. I like that these snacks have low carbs but get the protein up. -M. Frields from Indiana
"If it weren't for these indulgent (yet legal) treats I probably would've fallen off the low-carb wagon many times giving into cravings. They are so unbelievably delicious you feel like your cheating. Even my non low-carbing and sugar-loving husband and kids love these goodies. I look forward to trying all the recipes!" -Christie from Illinois
This is one of the BEST low carb cookbooks I have come across! The recipes are absoultely fabulous! Ms. Lee's Bread recipe is the best I have ever tried! Bread is one thing we low carbers tend to miss, but not any more!! The whole book is super and a bargain at this price!! The recipes are easy, simple to understand and follow, and turn out mouth watering! There is no excuse to cheat, when these options are at your disposal! I especially appreciated the "Before You Begin" section and how she took the time to explain how low carb baking would differ slightly in baking time, storing ect. She also gives ingrediants to have before hand, which are featured in her recipes. Where you can find them, online or off!! Complete with url's and phone numbers! I also love the fact that whey powder is used in the recipes as I have never like the flavor of soy protein powders. Could explain why I have not found one recipe that was not devoured by my whole family, low carbers and non low carbers! All the carb counts and protein counts are listed with each recipe making this book excellant for any low carb program follower. This book has got it all! A MUST for any low carber, diabetic, or just plain anyone in my opinion!! I just LOVE IT! -Annie from Sioux City, Iowa
I purchased Baking Low Carb some time ago, and have come to depend on it tremendously for providing my family with wonderful low carbohydrate, sugar free treats. Diana's recipes cover a wide range of baked goods, the recipes are well-written and consistent, and the results are terrific. I hope she writes a second cookbook. -Diana E. Bauer from Cincinnati, Ohio
This is a fabulous book if you like to bake and are low-carbing. The author makes it easy to start by giving you tips on what you need to have on hand and where to get them, which is really helpful. Some of our favorites are the zucchini and pumpkin breads and the peanut butter cookies. The nut recipes are good too! I would highly recommend this book for anyone that is low-carbing. It's nice to have a treat that doesn't screw up your way of eating healthy. -K. Goodwin from Georgia
