I love cooking/baking and i've been on atkins for about a month and I'm cooking/baking for my family.
Do i need to spend my money on those cookbooks? Theres so many recipes online! And whenever i buy cookbooks, i only use a few recipes and never look at them again.
Should i just buy them? if so, which ones would u recommend?
The atkins new cookbook? or other regular low carb cookbooks? (the regular low carb cookbooks have MUCH more recipes and is cheaper than the atkins cookbook)

I get my recipes online and I have the "Atkins for life" book it has quite a few recipes in it.You could probably check out some low carb cookbooks at the your local library,then you wont be wasting money on books you wont look at again lol!HTH

I think Dana Carpender's 500 Low-Carb Recipes is invaluable. I've never yet gone wrong with any recipe of hers I've tried. (I really enjoy her Lowcarbzine! newsletter too -- see www.holdthetoast.com.)

I cook a lot and try at least one new recipe a week. I get a lot of them online, too. Here are some sites:

Good thread.

I'm actually just beginning to cook for the first time in my life NOW. (And I'm 40) In the past, I've always worked 2 jobs or the equivilant craziness. I even bought a Kitchen Aid !


I wish there was a cookbook named, Very Low Carb Recipes your whole family will love, with 7 ingredients or less" Now THAT would be grand!!!

I also bought the Dana Carpender book. It looks fabulous, although I have not actually tested any recipes. They look pretty easy. too!
I found a good on-line source for some recipes, too. Although I think she is publishing a book also. The last time I checked the site there were not as many recipes accessible.
