Amazon.com Review
From the wife of the late Dr. Robert Atkins, here is an inventive cookbook that will allow low carb devotees to keep the faith without cutting down the fat. Grounded in the carb counting, fat allowing formula that launched millions of dieters, Veronica Atkins has designed a book "to make doing Atkins a permanent part of your life." Following a refresher course on the four phases of Atkins, she includes 250 easy to follow recipes and cooking tips geared for people close to their weight goals, in which she underlines the essentials of low carb ingredients and preparation (substitute wheat for white, splenda for sugar, nuts for breadcrumbs, cream or broth for flour). Gathered into three main sections ("day by day", "on the weekend", and "party and holiday menus"), recipes range from family dinners, brownbag lunches and snacks to brunch dishes and camping treats. Singles "tired of dividing recipes by four" will also enjoy the "cooking for one" section, and those who fear the holiday temptations will find inspiration to stay on track in such creative fares as Atkins-friendly Thanksgiving side dishes, low carb Xmas eggnog, Zucchini Hanukkah latkes, Superbowl pomegranate guacamole, Oscar Night chocolate martinis and a dozen uses for leftover matzo. Readers may be distracted from the simplicity and freshness of the recipes by a few zany suggestions (alphabetizing spices to save time) and the marketing of the Atkins brand products in the many recipes that use Atkins mixes, pastas and flavorings. Yet the book’s creative approach will assure the faithful that a low carb diet can be a moveable feast. --Barbara Mackoff

The Atkins cookbook has helped me to be more creative when it comes to cooking. The meals I have been able to present to my family have been sensational! My family can't tell that we are all on a restricted carb plan! They just think that I am going the extra mile to fix delicious meals. A must have for those wanting to cut carbs.

I was flabbergasted in looking through these recipes. Has Veronica Atkins gone crazy or become "carb-liberated" since her husband died? These recipes are a disaster for the low-carb dieter or for diabetics. There is even one recipe that calls for a teaspoon of sugar! How disappointing. I took mine right back to the store.
After all the work and sacrifice of Dr. Atkins and all the good he has done for seriously ill people, it is criminal to put the Atkins name on a book like this. It is dishonest and misleading. Veronica Atkins, you should be ashamed of yourself, to compromise like this!

A Wonderful Source for a Beneficial Lifestyle

It's too bad and unfortunate that Dr. Atkins has passed. With his widow compiling and publishing this cookbook, it keeps his memory and his beneficial lifestyle alive. The book is informative, easy to read and easy to navigate.
