This cookbook was terribly disappointing. I’ve followed them on Facebook because their recipes were always fun, and the videos mesmerizing. However, they dropped the ball with this book and feature junk food and carbs with only a couple of healthy options. I follow Chefclub recipes on FaceBook... and yet, not a single one of them was in this book.
From healthy dinners to light lunches and starters, there are plenty of recipe ideas here fit for a low carb diet. Substituting traditional carbohydrates for low carb alternatives has become an increasingly popular trick in recent years, with courgetti, cauliflower rice and sweet potato noodles among the most well known swaps.
Ceviche and carpaccio are fantastic ways of reducing your carbohydrate intake if you're looking for a low carb dinner menu that will still impress. Robert Thompson's Mackerel ceviche recipe makes an elegant fish starter dish, or try Pascal Aussignac's signature Carpaccio of duck breast recipe.
For a fantastic low carb take on a seafood pasta recipe try Mauro Uliassi's Tagliatelle of cuttlefish with nori pesto, or Francesco Sposito's Squid tagliatelle – by cutting the seafood itself into pasta-like ribbons the dish carries all the flavour of seafood pasta without any of the calorific carbohydrate.
