Acknowledgments
No book is ever solely the work of one person. Many people have influenced me in the writing of this book and I would like to take this opportunity to give them my thanks.
First to my mother, for encouraging and fostering my interest in cooking from childhood and for being my extra pair of hands during the writing of the original version of this book in hardcover; to Dr. Arnold Zentner, for giving me the freedom to create; to Mrs. Shirley Shure, for originally teaching me to bake; to Dr. Robert C. Atkins, for stimulating and fostering my interest in low-carbohydrate cooking; to Dr. Ivor Shapiro, for his gentle encouragement and support throughout the writing of the original book; to Maureen ONeal, vice president and editorial director at Ballantine Books, for her idea to republish this book; and to Johanna Bowman, who has been such a joy to work with.

Tips for Low-Carbohydrate Cooks and Dieters
Tips for Cooks
1. Experiment with different blends of coffee. Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee is superb although expensive, as is Hawaiian Kona coffee. Chocolate hazelnut and chocolate almond coffees are delicious, especially if youre a chocoholic. Theyre available as decaf also.
2. Experiment with different types of tea. There are black teas scented with fruit flavors such as strawberry, raspberry, mango, et cetera. Most of the time I dont even need to sweeten these.
3. Concentrate on the following low-carbohydrate vegetables when planning your menus: asparagus, mushrooms, spinach, cucumbers, green beans, celery, cauliflower, zucchini, endives, escarole, and peppers. These vegetables are also low in calories and contain needed vitamins and minerals. Beware of high-carbohydrate vegetables such as corn, peas, lima beans, beets, and both white and sweet potatoes.
4. The best buys in low-carbohydrate fruit are berries of all kinds, apricots, peaches, rhubarb, and tangerines. These fruits are also low on the glycemic index. Melons of all kinds are low-carbohydrate but are a little higher on the glycemic index (although not watermelon).
5. If buying filleted fish and you cannot judge its freshness, press the fleshiest part of the fish with your finger. If it leaves a dent that does not spring back quickly, the fish is not fresh. Do not buy it.
6. Herbs de Provence is a dried-herb mixture from France that is used to flavor meats, sauces, salads, and even pizza. Its a mixture of thyme, basil, savory, fennel, and lavender flowers. If not available in a gourmet food store near you, the mixture can be ordered from Zabars, one of my favorite shops in New York. Order online at www.zabars.com or call 212-787-2000.
7. Poissonnade is a dried-herb mixture from France that is used primarily to flavor fish. It consists of fennel seeds, marjoram, savory, sage, and thyme. I actually like to use this mixture for lamb also. Like herbs de Provence, this too can be ordered from Zabars, if not available near you.
