Great cookbook January 21, 2006
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
George has done it again. He has combined a wonderful short story about his life and family, and a great cookbook.
I highly recomend this cookbook to anyone who is diabetic, or wanting to lose weight.
But, you don't have to be either to enjoy it and the receipes.
George puts a lot of love into his books.
Finally! Cookbooks I actually "use"! January 20, 2006

My husband and I love the recipes in George's first book, so I knew we'd love these too. I've only had the book one week and have already made several recipes. The Mojo Pork - I've tried about 5 recipes in the past trying to get this right. I've always been disappointed, until I made George's recipe.
I love the fact that these are "down to earth" ingredients. None of the fancy, 'only available online' items. That means a lot to me. And these are recipes that I'll actually fix.
I really enjoy cooking & baking - but we're not into gourmet type foods. These recipes really fit the bill for us. Thank you George!

I'm a real Stella fan as you can read by my review of his first book. Either one will give you the basics to shed the pounds and keep them off with sensible low-carb life, not counting, but shopping wise and cooking really good food that'll work.
Again, my fascination and usage of George's books are especially for breakfast and lunch and snacks, for these and maybe you are the toughest for this reviewer to keep it creative and healthy. This collection is like his first, just outstanding. You'll enjoy such as: Riviera Omelet (with prochiutto or Parma; Southwestern Breakfast Bites; Cinanamon Toast Pancakes!!!!; Chirstian's Banana Bread Muffins; Uncle Al's Sausage and Peppers Casserole; Kim's Stuffed Chicken Breasts with Lemony White Wine Sauce; Thai Scallop and Prawn Stir-Fry; Roasted Pecan and Herb-Crusted Salmon; Forzen Custard Ice Cream.
Did I mention great Entrees and Desserts as well! Each recipe is not only given the needful nutrition breakouts and good instructions, but each further has "Make It Memorable" and "Healthful Hint" sections. These are really neat, as it has other menu recipe ideas and differences with those on rapid diet descent.
With some nice color photos and all the aids you'll need to keep on low-carb track, this is nice resource for our culinary time.
Great recipes January 8, 2006

Well, I didn't "Laugh or Cry" like my friend Dinah did and considering her and I are two of the four success stories in the book - you might think we are bias - but George Stella's recipes are great! I particularly like the success stories in any "diet" type book or cookbook - not because I'm one - I swear! but I love reading them - and I wish there were more. I'm not a make my own ketchup type of person - considering I have two children, a house, school and trying to start up a business - but most of the recipes I will make and I'm sure I'll get great reviews. Buy his first book too - it's well worth the investment - even if you don't low carb - his meatloaf recipe is the best ever - it's very hard to make good meatloaf and this one is great. The Stellas are warm, genuine people and yes, maybe George is a low carb genuis :-). I would like to add one more thing - the desserts are great for OCCASIONAL treats like once a month when you are trying to reach goal - (have them more when you are on maintenance) but lots of people trying to lose weight - make the desserts and eat to abandon thinking it's low carb you can eat to your heart's content - you can't. Calories are calories - so a word to the wise - eat the meat, veggies, salads and occasional treat, drink your water and exercise - and you will be at goal in no time. I've lost 126 pounds in less than a year - and this lifestyle works. I feel great and much of the credit goes to Stellastyle.
WOW oh WOW oh WOW... January 5, 2006

I couldn't agree more with the last reviewer. As the book arrived yesterday afternoon, I did the same thing she did: I read it from cover to cover. Obviously, as yet I haven't made anything...but chocolate pecan truffles, lemon meringue pie, breadless bread pudding (listed in the index under pudding, not bread), fried Ipswich clams, oh my...if the recipes in this book are even half as good as the recipes in his first book...I'm a happy cooker. George Stella is a genius...and a thin one at that. Thanks again George!
An afterthought Jan 2008 - since my husband and I started on George's wonderful way of eating, together we've lost 100 pounds (60 for me and 40 for him). That's a small person! I encourage anyone who wants to lose weight to try this...if you follow the program and eat the fabulous food, it really works. George is the BEST!
