I own the book (http://www.amazon.com/Diabetes-Diet-Bernsteins-Low-Carbohydrate-Sol…). It describes a basic range of dishes, many of them simplistic and they employ only a small range of what you can do with low carb cooking. I don’t need a recipe for bacon and eggs and you probably don’t either. The recipes are not gourmet, you won’t find Coq Au Vin in the book. It uses a core set of substitution strategies that are Dr. B’s favorites. If you don’t cook and you have totally no idea how to proceed, it can helpful. But once you have read through it, you pretty much have gotten what you need to out of it. There is a lot more that you can do with low carb cooking. I would rather have something like Dana Carpenders 500 low carb recipes on my cookbook shelf.
ps. And Coq Au Vin is on plan.
