Reducing your carbohydrate intake is proven as not only the fastest way of shedding those unwanted pounds, but keeping them off in the long-term. Here is a book that shows you how to achieve that without giving up any of your favourite dishes. Award-winning food writer Annie Bell approaches the Low Carb diet as a food lover and passionate cook, which is reflected in her approach to this way of life throughout the book.

Annie’s 140 well-loved classic recipes show you how to cook food that is full of the yummy factor we all cherish, at the same time as helping you lose weight. Recipes include healthy, Low Carb versions of family favourites such as Simple Spanish Tortilla, Spicy Wraps, Fish and Chips with Tartare Sauce, Cottage Pie with Leek and Cauliflower Mash, and a Very Dark and Moussey Chocolate Cake. Many recipes include optional extras and variations such as an Apple Chutney with a Spicy Root Veg Soup, a Bernaise Sauce to accompany Minute Steak with Asparagus, and Fattoush with Lemon and Spice Roast Chicken. With chapters like Burger Bar, Chop House, Pies and Casseroles, and Mash, Chips or Roast, these relaxed and comforting recipes are a trawl through today's popular food culture, reflecting both how we eat at home as well as when we when we are out and about. This book is indispensable for anyone seeking to follow a Low Carb regime to either lose or simply maintain their weight in the long term, with a foreword by a leading specialist Dr Alexander D. Miras MRCP, PhD. Recipes include nutritional analyses which list carbohydrate and protein values and can be readily adapted to fit in with everyday life.

Review:

'No don't worry, I'm not on a diet, but whatever book Annie Bell writes is always sure to contain recipes i want to cook. Her latest is no exception. --Nigella Lawson

'There's no pretence at complete carb denial here there's even a moussey flourless chocolate cake and a couple of fruit desserts but carnivores, gluten-avoiders, sugar-deniers and bloat-haters will find plenty to conjure with. Followers of Dukan and Atkins will be able to pluck and adapt too, especially as the carbohydrate and protein count of each recipe is given[...]Part of the plan is that, if diners still want carbs, you can add some on the side. It was sorely tempting to boil some rice to go with the slow-roast salt-and-pepper duck with spring greens and sherry gravy I tried but, as promised we didn't miss it. After three hours' cooking and a quick blast to crisp the skin, the duck was tender and gloriously burnished and easy to pull apart rather than carve; I doubt I'll bother cooking it any other way now I've tried this. And when a 'diet' book teaches you a better way to cook, it's a keeper.' --Emma Sturgess, The Metro

'If the January detox failed to have the desired effect then you could give Annie Bell's Low Carb Revolution a shot. [It is] a new way of eating to stay slim, rather than a one-off diet[...]made easier by Bell's easy-to-do recipes employing simple ingredients, which she used during her own attempt to stick to a low-carb diet.' -- Carolyn Hart, Telegraph Magazine

'Highly recommended for everyday cooking' -- --Alexandra Shulman, Vogue
