Cookbook Recommendations?
Looking for a GREAT low carb (preferably GF using almond & coconut flour). I'm new to this Low Carb Lifestyle and I really don't want to feel deprived. I'm getting a little nervous...my first time cooking with coconut flour (found a recipe online that required ridiculous amounts of eggs but I followed this popular diet exactly) and it was disgusting. Turnip fries...gross (boiled them and they were still nasty)
![]() ![]() Is this what I have to look forward to. So I'm asking..NO, Begging ![]() ![]() |

I also love George Stella's cookbook, Eating Stella Style, because he includes calorie counts as well as carb counts and he makes suggestions for changing up each recipe. Of all his cookbooks, this is my favorite.

ANY of Jen Eloff's cookbooks are fantastic! I have most of them and love them all. She has some great GF flour blend recipes and shares freely of them on this very board, so it's always nice to support her efforts by purchasing one or more of her books!
![]() I also love Dana Carpender's books and have a couple of them, along with Sharron Long. I'm not such a fan of George Stella because he uses so much soy flour and 1) I don't care for the taste of it and 2) because my sister is hypothyroid, I avoid soy as much as possible unless it's fermented (tempeh, soy sauce and the like).

Its not a cookbook, but Linda Sue's website has some awesome recipes. I really like a lot of her main dishes. I don't think I am allowed to link to it, but if you google Linda Sue Low carb, you will find it.

I just answered this question in your first post about using the flours. Here is a copy/paste of my answer:
I just got Elana's cookbook that uses almond flour. It is called "the almond flour cookbook" LOL. She has a great website and it is elanaspantry. The recipes are there. She also has a cupcake cookbook that I just got. I just got these books and have not had an opportunity to cook anything from them yet. But I got them both because I love almond flour and we love cupcakes!! I also have Dana Carpender's low carb books. She has quite a few great low carb cookbooks!!! They are fantastic! Those are the 2 I recommend. Anyone who uses soy flour I steer clear from. Simply because I don't like it and I know that George Stella (Food Network low carb chef) uses that. So I don't recommend any of his, but I know that a lot of folks here do. There are other threads on here about low carb cookbooks. I always suggest starting to look for them in your library. That way you can try before you buy! Here are a few threads you can look at: http://www.lowcarbfriends.com/bbs/lo...addiction.html http://www.lowcarbfriends.com/bbs/lo...g-solenda.html http://www.lowcarbfriends.com/bbs/lo...n-allowed.html http://www.lowcarbfriends.com/bbs/lo...soy-flour.html http://www.lowcarbfriends.com/bbs/lo...cookbooks.html http://www.lowcarbfriends.com/bbs/lo...-opinions.html http://www.lowcarbfriends.com/bbs/lo...ook-books.html This should get you started!!!

Not a cookbook but the website Nom Nom Paleo has pretty good recipes (and glorious food pics) too. Just made her Oven Braised Mexican Beef last night and was delish.

While it is true that many of George Stella's books do have a number of recipes that use soy flour, Eating Stella Style emphasizes using almond flour. None of the dessert, "bread" or pancake recipes uses soy, usually only almond flour or some other healthy ingredient. In fact, I only found one recipe in the entire book of over 200 recipes that uses soy flour, and that recipe could easily sub any flour, as it's used only to coat something before frying. I like the book because the recipes are full of fresh, healthy ingredients, all of the food counts are given, and he suggests ways to change them up to fit your eating style.

SO glad I found this thread!
My husband does 99.9% of the cooking and asked me to find a cookbook for him. BOY, was I excited to see that there was a low carb friends cookbook out! Just got it on Amazon and it'll be here on Monday! WOOT WOOT! |
