Lots of very good information. Haven't finished reading the information part and haven't tried any of the recipes yet, but they look good.

The recipes in this book look scrumptuous! This is hard to find in some vegetarian cookbooks.
Low GI but not Low GL May 25, 2008 2 out of 3 found this review helpful
I bought this book expecting to learn how to identify and use low-GI ingredients.
Why I'm disappointed:
(1) The recipes for more substantial dishes have a lot of rice and pasta. While technically these are low-GI, their glycemic load is high because portion sizes of these are typically largish and/or they have a lot of available carbs. I had hoped to learn about alternatives to these kinds of ingredients.
The photos are attractive and the recipes sound good and aren't too complicated. But too many of the use foods that I want to diminish in my diet. They are pretty conventional in the sense that no light bulbs went off as I read through the recipes.
I hope this helps.
Definitely NOT Low-Carb! March 31, 2008 11 out of 15 found this review helpful
Just got this book today, so haven't tried any of the recipes, but I'm very much let down. I'm not a vegetarian, yet I live and eat a healthy, low-carb, high-fat diet. I was looking for interesting vegetarian meals that fit into that lifestyle, but this was the wrong place to look. The carb count for a serving of, say, "Moroccan Bean and Pumpkin Tagine" (a main dish) is 98 carbs (less 7grams fiber...so 91 carbs) is insane. I live with 2 Type-1 diabetics, my hubby and son. Feed them something like this, and their blood sugars would sky-rocket, low GI or not. We try to keep total carbs per meal less than 30, and that's pushing it.
I notice the authors of this diet are young...many vegetarians are young and idealistic. Heck, I ate what I wanted when I was their age, and went through a similar period as a vegetarian. Hit about 40-50 where you can't eat a ton of carbs without gaining a ton of weight, and you have to be more realistic about what you put in your mouth. I prefer realistic. I also prefer Kat James diet in her book "The Truth About Beauty." Low-GI, healthy diet plans abound, without the trade-off of excessive carbs. To its benefit though, this is a beautifully prepared book...lovely photos with scrumptious-looking foods. I wish I could eat this way, but it's not what I consider healthy.
