Living Low-Carb: The Complete Guide to Long Term Low-Carb Dieting
By Fran McCullough
Now that all of America has internalized the low-fat edict, it's really hard for most of us to conceive of food in an entirely new way, one that requires us to think in terms not of fat grams or calories, but of the basic metabolic effect food has on our bodies. That task is complicated by the fact that each of the many low-carb systems now available puts a slightly different spin on the

In the end, it took both a cook and a feminist to liberate the American kitchen. By liberation I don't mean freedom from cooking, though the women's movement is often construed in those terms. I mean that cooking itself has been freed, or at least notably loosened, from the grip of the food industry and the constraints of gender. There was nothing inevitable about these developm
