If you love bacon as a part of your low carb diet plan, this is the perfect way to add new recipes to your diet.Although one recipe contains quail eggs, generally speaking, the ingredients are ones that you will find readily available.I didn't find any real organization in the book, Margaritas are between stuffed shrimp and eggs in a cloud. Besides the margaritas, there is one desert recipe, the remaining ones are for meals. The Table of Contents simply lists each recipe by chapter number.This is not organized in the way that a traditional cookbook is done. It begins with pictures of the process before the list of ingredients and cooking steps. It makes it colorful, but unusual.Generally speaking, the recipes are designed to be made in larger quantities so that you can freeze and warm them up one at a time, making this a nice recipe book for people trying the low carb diet on their own.Why three stars -in Amazon language "it's OK?"I'm personally allergic to nitrites and sulfites. Bacon is very heavy in nitrites, and bacon grease is even worse. While I expect some bacon in low carb recipe books, the fact that bacon and bacon grease is a primary ingredient means that I can't use a significant majority of the recipes.Many others avoid bacon for health and dietary reasons. If this book were a bacon cookbook, I wouldn't think twice, but since it is a health oriented cookbook, I find it important to note for future buyers.
