love to read cookbooks. If I can get even one or two recipes from one, I consider it worth reading. I particularly love low glycemic cookbooks and have collected all of them. But never before have I found a low glycemic cookbook that has so many recipes that excite me so much.
Advanced galleys of The Low GI Diet Cookbook arrived in the mail just a few days before this issue was due. I sat down to read it immediately and was delighted. Some of the recipes are similar to those I already make, and I have to admit that they certainly sound even better. Yesterday I went shopping for the ingredients of several recipes, and I started the day today with the first recipe in the book, a wonderful and simple recipe for “scrambled eggs with smoked salmon.” The rest will follow in the next couple of months.
This Low GI Diet Cookbook is a practical companion to the book I reviewed in January, The Low GI Diet Revolution. It has just 100 recipes, but it’s quality, not quantity that counts in cookbooks. The book has three authors, Dr. Jennie Brand-Miller, Kaye Foster-Powell, and Joanna McMillan-Price, who write that these are the recipes that they love to cook at home.
Marlowe & Company will publish The Low GI Diet Cookbook in November 2005. This soft cover book with 176 oversized pages will list for $19.95. The ISBN 1-56924-359-X.
