Review Summary: Not a good book if you have PCOS
Review: I was lead to this cookbook because of my searches related to PCOS. And, though PCOS patients need to monitor their blood glucose levels, this cookbook called for a lot of ingredients that are not recommended for PCOS patients. This is the ONLY reason I was unhappy with the book. I ended up giving it to my father-in-law who has diabetes as many of the recipes did look appetizing, otherwise, I would have sent it back.

Review Summary: Too Gourmet...
Review: I was actually looking for a book that would be easy for me to pull groceries out of my fridge or off the pantry shelf to make. This was a little too "gourmet" for my liking. But I will make some of the recipes, there is noway that I would be able to these a couple nights a week.

Review Summary: Very Yummy!!
Review: Every single recipie that I have tried is easy to make and tastes wonderful!! My husband and I really enjoy the Pork chops with Honey Glazed Apples (pg 135) and the Beef and Noodles with Chile Jam (pg 111). It's hard to find recipies that are Low GI, taste good, don't require odd ingredients and give you lasting energy -- this cook book offers all of that!!

Review Summary: Terrible cookbook if you're actually following the GI Diet
Review: I started following the GI Diet (Rick Gallop's book in case there are other versions). I'm not crazy about all of his recipes, so I wanted to get another cookbook that would give me some additional recipes that I could use while on the diet. The cover of "The Low GI Diet Cookbook" even says "The World's Foremost Authorities on the Glycemic Index". Hah! As I flip through the pages, every recipe that calls for a sweetener uses honey, maple syrup, sugar, brown sugar, and even confectioner's sugar! There aren't even any conversion charts on how to substitute with agave nectar, stevia, or xylitol. My biggest gripe is with the sweets, but I'm not thrilled that many other recipes call for non-green-light ingredients.

Review Summary: Dissappointed in the recipes
Review: The Low GI Diet Cook book is nicely organized and illustrated. The problem is that there are ingredients in so many of the recipes that my family will not eat and some that I have to pass on. The best way for me to use this cookbook is to modify the recipes as I use them. Then, some of them just can not be changed due to core ingredients.
Perhaps this book is due to the more varied palette. I still think that it does give some good ideas.
