Carol Guilford -- New -- THE GOURMET'S RECESSION COOKBOOK -- e-Book

Best-selling cookbook author (almost) giving away The Gourmet's Recession Cookbook

Sherman Oaks, CA (PRWEB) October 29, 2010

Carol Guilford wanted to give her new book, (a slim volume, a luxury of self-publishing), away. Amazon policy requires a 99 cent minimum; THE GOURMET'S RECESSION COOKBOOK is available as an e-Book for $.99.

Carol is the author of THE NEW COOK'S COOKBOOK, chosen the year it was published as one of the top ten cookbooks of the year by "The New York Times."

THE DIET BOOK, reviewed by "Publisher's Weekly" as 'informative and fun', includes the complete 1856 version of the first diet book ever published. Both books have recently been updated into e-Books (see links below).

Updating of Guilford's two previous books, THE EASIEST COOKBOOK and THE MAIN COURSE COOKBOOK, are "next on the agenda." Carol said she would never write another cookbook, but the gods of comedy didn't listen. She even bought a slow-cooker.

Her criteria for choosing the recipes in the new book was, "Does this dinner cost less than a small pizza with two toppings?"

THE GOURMET'S RECESSION COOKBOOK has recipes for Shepherd's Pie, Fettuccine Alfredo, Garlic-Lemon Chicken, Homemade Pickles, Scampi, Slow-Cooker Pulled Pork and Slovakian Potato Soup.

Carol notes: "It is nice to keep in mind what Dr. Andrew Boorde wrote in 1542 -- 'A good cook is half a physician.' I hope readers will enjoy the food writing -- especially my story about being bitten by the teeth of a salmon head -- and 'The Armchair Chef', a compendium of best collectible cookbooks from 1900 to 1975."

For those without an e-Book reader, the books can be read on a PC or MAC by downloading Amazon's FREE "Kindle" reader for PC. "Kindle" is the trade name for Amazon's e-Book reader. (Link provided below.) You can also download FREE apps for your iPhone, Blackberry, iPad and Android cell phones.

Carol Guilford's "The Diet Book" Now Available for the Kindle !

"Nothing has changed since THE Diet Book was first published. To lose weight, limit food and drink to 60 carbohydrate grams a day or 1500 calories a day...", so say Carol Guilford.

The Diet Book by Carol Guilford is now in paperback and for the Kindle

THE Diet Book is a history of diet, and in my research through the years, it became evident that – although there are hundreds of diets from which to choose (many diets have become popular) – once one looks at the eating plans, there are really only two diets – a low-calorie diet and a low-carbohydrate diet.

For example, the South Beach way is low-carbo and the Beverly Hills way is low-calorie. (Judy Mazel who created the Beverly Hills Diet in 1981 died in 2007, at 63, of peripheral vascular disease.)

Does anyone remember the Scarsdale way? Low in calories and carbos, Dr. Herman Tarnower’s The Complete Scarsdale Medical Diet was published in 1979. The plan is Spartan: daily breakfast is ½ grapefruit, one slice of protein bread, no spread and coffee or tea. ... The diet promises a 20 pound-loss in 14 days of 700 calories a day.

An interesting diet is Dr. Barry Sears Zone Diet™. Covering all bases, it’s low in everything - protein, carbos and fat. “Enter the zone and you’ll achieve hormonal balance.” Dr. Sears delivers food to your door and sells “dietary” supplements.

Evident in THE Diet Book is my opinion that the low-carbohydrate diet is the way to go. 60 carbohydrate grams a day is very comfortable. There is a list of carbohydrate amounts in food at the end of the book, but more comprehensive lists can be downloaded on-line or purchased in a book store. The calorie list is helpful for those who choose to go that route.
