Over the last few years, low-carb dieting has become hugely popular and successful, with low-carb diet books perennially perched atop bestseller lists. But how do you cut out the flour and sugar and still satisfy your cravings for breads and desserts? Low-carb packaged foods are now proliferating on supermarket shelves. They may not include high-carb flour and sugar, but not many of the low-carb foods you can buy at the supermarket resemble the foods they are meant to replace-a lot of them just don't taste satisfying. Now, this one-of-a-kind low-carb cookbook delivers the answers by showing you how to create low-carb breads and desserts as good as- and often even better than-the high-carb ones. So enjoy!

Do you dream of the warm, satisfying taste of hearty brown bread or the flaky goodness of hot buttermilk biscuits? Do you long for fresh-baked muffins, the sweet chilled delights of peach ice cream, or the yumminess of blueberry pie? Now, thanks to extraordinary chef Ursula Solom, you can once again experience all the full, rich flavor and satisfaction of these and all your favorite high-carb treats without compromising on your commitment to low-carb eating.
