Before
frosting the Blueberry Coffee Cake (in the photo below). Quite frankly,
this is such a flavorful cake, that you hardly need to bother with a frosting,
but it does look pretty with one.

Most
times (98% of the time, thank you, God) when developing recipes, they work well; however, there
is the occasion when it doesn't. I was not happy with this cake the first
time, and got it right the second time around. It was worth persevering!
This
cake looks very attractive and has wonderful height for a one-layer cake.
If you are looking for a blueberry coffee cake that will impress your guests,
look no further! This is the nicest low-carb and gluten-free Blueberry
Coffee Cake I have made to date. I knew after I made the Overnight
Blueberry Coffee Cake, that I needed to make another one - a fancier cake - a
more sophisticated cake - and this is it!! You can see I could barely
wait for the cake to cool down before I frosted it! However, the frosting
held up well, as I had it in the freezer for 20 minutes or so. Do wait
for the cake to cool completely before frosting. Don't follow my bad
example. I just couldn't wait to taste it, but you know I still have to
frost it, then set up the photo shoot and take photos and more photos.
I'm not pretending to be a great photographer or food stylist. Sometimes
I do better than at other times. Ironically, my husband's hobby is
cameras and photography, but he doesn't have patience, so I do it myself rather
than involve him at all. Still, he would probably take better pictures.

This cookbook below is a collaborative effort between low-carbing friends and thus the name, "Low-Carbing Among Friends". Those were giddy days as we were a big fish in a small pond and now it is just the other way around. Nowadays we are competing against thousands of low-carb cookbooks and many Kindle cookbooks are being given away for free. However, I believe in our cookbooks and I love using them myself, and I hope others, too, will still get to enjoy them for many years to come! This is a beautiful collection of cookbooks, but I think the Anniversary Edition is the last cookbook I will write. All good things come to an end, as they say. It has been a fun ride and I have loved serving the low-carb community in this way. I will still continue with my blog and Facebook for a number of years into the future. I hope you will join us on this continued journey. It is my preferred way of eating, even although I can have occasional splurges in maintenance, I still return to low-carbing and usually have between 50 and 100 grams of a carbs a day.
This is a very large cookbook with 226 pages. If you even buy 1 cookbook, I would recommend one like this because you have a huge variety to choose from and from different authors as well. The book has been through 3 Editions (revisions). The recipes are sorted by category with each author contributing recipes. The recipes range from very low-carb (below 5 grams of carbs) to below 10 grams of carbs per serving. and it is safe to say most recipes are below 5 grams of carbs per serving. The recipes are also all gluten-free.
Many glossy color pages of photos (of which the greatest number of photos are in the Anniversary Edition; volume 11) are in the center of the cookbooks to inspire you to cook or bake something delicious for your family.

This cookbook was printed in December, 2012 and later a completely revised edition was brought out in February, 2015. This cookbook has 6 authors from the Low-Carbing Among Friends' team at the time. Some of us remain and others have retired from the cookbook business. It is wonderful to still have their recipes with us in this beautiful cookbook. George, a professional chef, is a much-loved and a well-known figure in the low-carb world and yearly sells his cookbooks on QVC. Not only that he used to have his own cooking show on the Food Network TV. Stacey Crawford has written an amazing new cookbook for the Instant Pot, Peggy Hardaway has 2 LCAF's cookbooks devoted to her recipes. Kent Altena is an IT expert and a great cook at home; his family-tested recipes are usually very low-carb and easy to follow. Judy Barnes Baker, famous for Carb Wars and another cookbook has lovely recipes in this cookbook that you will enjoy. Also, in this cookbook are featured several great recipes from our low-carb friends. Dr. Parker wrote an article: Low-Carb Research Update and Dr. Su wrote: Why Can Carbohydrates Kill?
