It's a useful, well-organized cookbook.

I have made several recipes from this book, notably the zucchini noodle chicken soup and the zucchini noodle puttanesca. (I do not like calling them "zoodles," that's the only thing about the cookbook I find annoying. I realize that's a personal preference issue.)

Both dishes were fantastic, filling, and delicious; everyone who tried some of it loved it. Even my dad, who's a big guy with a hearty appetite, found these dishes satisfying. I had thought originally assumed that vegetable and fruit noodles would be less filling than grain-based noodles, but I was wrong. They were plenty satisfying (I guess due to the fiber and water content) and I felt a lot better physically after eating them compared to how I feel after eating regular noodles.

Spiralizers can make very long noodles. I found it helps to snip them a bit shorter with some scissors as I'm churning them out of the spiralizer. It makes them easier to serve. I suppose that's not that different from making regular noodles, come to think of it.

I like the organization of this book. The directions are well-written, nutrition information is included, and the recipes are great. There's all sorts that would suit various dietary needs. I also appreciate that the book goes into how to use spiralizers properly and what produce works best. With that information I'm finding it easy to come up with my own recipes, too.

Attached is a photo of the zuchinni noodle soup. I love the color from the skin of the zuchinni.

That reminds me - I do live at a higher altitude which is probably why; but I found I usually have to cook the noodles longer than the book suggests to get the consistency right. A lot longer. Just a heads-up.

Tasty recipes

If you love to cook, like me you probably have alot of cook books, this one stands out because it's about spiralizing which I've only recently gotten into. The book is well organized, the font is a good size and easy to read.

I like that this book has a chart of fruits and vegetables ranked by if there worth trying to spiralize. They also add tips for doing so. This has really made our meals look nicer, and the recipes have great flavor.

While I do wish there were more photos, my end results never look like them so I think it's for the best overall. I received this product for free in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

Great recipes

This recipe book goes great with all the spiralizers out there. There are a ton of recipes in it. All kinds of veggies can be spiralized and turned into some kind of noodle. The book gives you recipes to use for those. I love that there are recipes for breakfast and even snacks and sides. It tells you what blade to use and the usual directions like time. I am going to try out the cucumber recipes they have. That is one of my favorite veggies and I love spiralizing it. I did receive this free in exchange for my honest unbiased review.

Perfect for beginners and advanced cooks!

. This cookbook arrived as stated in the description page. First, I can tell you it is a very nice cover that contains 101 recipes for low-carb living. I have been wanting to find recipes to go with my spiralizer. This one has everything from snacks to sweets. It is nicely organized and laid out so you can find the recipe quickly. Each recipe has ingredients that are easy to find and the calorie content. It also lists diet restrictions such as gluten-free. There are spiralizer and cooking tips. As someone just starting out using a spiralizer, this cookbook is perfect! If you get this, try the tater tot casserole and the carrot mac and cheese. Make sure to read the spiralizer section at the beginning of the book to help you get the most out of the recipes and spiralizer. I received this cookbook at a discount for my honest opinion

No pictures but lots of recipes, great variety!

ok so this is not just a cookbook to use with a spiralizer. There are several recipes in the book I like. But I don't have a spiralizer yet! Not to worry this book includes a section on the different types of spiralizers and what each one does. So you can decide on which after reading that section. Now to me whether I have a spiralizaer or not, I can still make the recipes. I do want to get a spiralizer though because looks like it would also make great salads. And we love salads. but also the kids will love how we can make just about any veggie look like this. It gives dinner a new presentation! I love the variety of recipes that are included in this book from breakfast ones to shrimp, spaghetti, chicken, and more those were just a few. Now there are a few recipes I'm not sure I would do exactly because of an ingredient. It can still be prepared but I would make adjustments. This book also includes a small section to make your own stocks, dressings, and sauces. Overall I like the book, but it is missing pictures. I love to look at the pictures so I least know if it looks like I made it right lol!! Other than that the recipes are easy to read and follow.

Yummy, easy, recipes

I am SO glad I found this book!! I recently just bought a sprializer JUST for spaghetti and stir-fry. Literally the ONLY two reasons to buy it. This book has so many recipes that I want to try with it. So many soups. I didn't even realize some of the things in this book. I really can't wait to try 'Chicken Zoodle Soup' or 'Thai Beef Zoodle Soup'.

If you have bought or thinking about buying a Sprializer I would BUY this book!! Now mine wont be sitting in the cabinet all the time.

Note: I received this book for my honest review. There is so many recipes that I am going to try. I do recommend
