Excellent recipes that are also great for wheat-free diets - By: A. Butterfield, 22 Apr 2008 
I often cater for people with certain dietary needs. One of them is vegetarian, on a low-carb diet & has a wheat allergy.
The veggie bit I'm used to, but the other stuff is tricky until you get this book.
It may not say it on the cover, but this is just as useful for somebody on a wheat-free diet (though not necessarily a gluten-free one) as somebody on a low-carb diet. Since recipes containing wheat are nearly always high carb, they're notin here.
It seems like a bit of a niche product, this recipe book, but the food you make from it is just great food, like anything you'd expect from an experienced food writer like Rose Elliot. It introduces you to a few ideas you wouldn't try otherwise perhaps, but that can only be a good thing.
The recipes I've tried all turn out really well, & the food is so good that the phrase I often hear is, Why can't restaurants serve food like this when it's so easy to do?
Easy way to lose weight - By: EHS, 23 Aug 2007 
I found this book very similar to Rose Elliot's other veggie low carb book 'The Vegetarian Low Carb Diet: The Fast, No-hunger Weight Loss Diet for Vegetarians' with some duplicate recipes. However, the extra recipes makes it well worth purchasing this book. Compared with other veggie low carb books, this one makes it very simple to understand how many carbs arein each recipe & therefore make losing weight extremely easy. I would (and do) recommend this book to those wanting to lose weight the veggie way.
You have to like tofu! - By: S. Belfitt, 05 Jul 2006 I followed the original Atkins diet & forced myself to eat a limited amount of meat. I still lost 2 stonein 3 months but pined for vegetables & vegetarian food. So it was a revelation to find Ms Elliot's low carb vegetarian cookbook. The recipes are easy to follow & the ingredients can be foundin either the local supermarket or health food shop. They are also inexpensive, unlike all that meat! I must admit that there are quite a few tofu recipes & also there is a reliance on cheese & eggs, which may be difficult for vegans. Tonight I am trying mockaroni, a tofu based version of macaroni. But it if lets me continue to achieve weight loss without the meat I'm willing to learn to love tofu!
