First printing was in September, 2018. This is the second in a series of two cookbooks with Peggy Hardaway as the principal author with some great recipes from George Stella and I as well. Again there is an introduction and preamble by George Stella as well as a Helpful Hints section. Pretty silver/platinum cookbook with matching coil binding. These five colorful cookbooks with their equally colorful and substantial pages of recipe photos are fun to own, easy to navigate, fun to read, and I'm sure you will love owning them. I know even I am happy to have them and refer to them often. There are about 65 color PHOTOS!! As with all of the cookbooks, each recipe that has a photo will have it indicated in the heading next to the name of the author whose recipe it is and, in addition, each photo has the page number indicated on it. With all of the cookbooks, I am the one who edits them and lovingly puts the cookbooks together. I take my job very seriously and always do my best to produce an accurate and quality job! I was taught initially by publishers who published a couple of my cookbooks - one of them was published by the largest publisher in Canada at the time (now taken over by an American company), MacMillan Canada. I soon figured out that I wanted to get into self-publishing. Now, of course, we are competing with thousands of other low-carb cookbooks out there and it is more and more difficult to make a living in this field. Our trusted brand does set us apart and we are proud to have such creative people on the Low-Carbing Among Friends' team, not the least of which is renowned low-carb chef and TV celebrity, George Stella!
Peggy Hardaway has devoted many years to creating wonderful recipes that the low-carb community has enjoyed. You can find her recipes at Buttoni's Low-Carb Recipes. Peggy, also a teacher by profession, has happily retired with various other interests that keep her occupied, but she still keeps her hand in and posts new recipes to her blog as she makes them. As well, she participates in Low-carb Forums helping newbies and others. Peggy has her very own style and often makes ethnic foods that we might be afraid to tackle, however, she makes them look easy! She also has many of her very own homemade spice blends (many of which mimic commercial varieties), 5 of which you will find in this cookbook (such as Shawarma Spice Blend, Ranch Dressing Powder Blend and Garam Masala Spice Blend), with the recipes for you to make your own, if you so desire. Peggy knows the art of very flavorful cooking!
When Peggy was actively working on the team for a few years on Facebook, Peggy and I would often reach millions with our recipes. Peggy and I would have a friendly rivalry going on with our daily posts and those were such fun days. We were very supportive of each other, however, and stood by each other when others tried their best to topple our team or compromise our success. That happened fairly frequently and it hurt sometimes, but we picked ourselves up and carried on! It is hard to believe sometimes but it did all happen. We were top of the low-carb world on Facebook for 5 plus years and thus we didn't make everyone happy as it is such a competitive business. It was only when we stopped paying Facebook for 2 years that another lady who was paying Facebook a lot caught up to us in time. Lovely lady and none of us begrudge her that success. We pay a little bit these days but the majority of our likes which with our two combined pages is over 1.1 million were from the good old days - mostly organic likes - save for about 10,000 likes which were paid likes (well, not entirely - our organic likes finally given to us). Even although we pay Facebook a bit these days, we still only get a fraction of our organic likes added. One has to pay lot to get them all. I miss the good old days, but nothing stays the same forever and one day I will retire and, thus, I put things in perspective. Life is not all about social media! However, that said we are still the top low-carb team on Facebook.
