THE LOW-CARB GOURMET
BY KAREN BARNABY
Executive Chef at the Fish House Restaurant in Stanley Park
In our image conscious society, the low-carb craze is omnipresent. In fact,
low-carb isn't just a diet anymore-it's a lifestyle. Yet current low-carb
cookbooks offer only standard, follow-the-plan recipes. None take the
innovative “food-as-pleasure” approach that only a trained restaurant chef-and
low-carb weight-loss success story-can offer.
Karen Barnaby is Executive Chef at Vancouver's award-winning restaurant, The
Fish House in Stanley Park, and the author or several popular cookbooks. Five
years ago, she discovered low-carbing and lost 70 pounds. Now she lives a
low-carb lifestyle, teaching classes and spreading the word through her
exciting new cookbook,
THE LOW-CARB GOURMET
With over 250 easy-to-prepare dishes, from simple to sophisticated,
THE LOW-CARB GOURMET is for food lovers
who enjoy preparing delicious meals that follow low-carb principles. Try
Chicory with Hot Pancetta Dressing, Thai BBQ Chicken and German Chocolate
Cake.
More than a cookbook,
THE LOW-CARB GOURMET features tips on
living the low-carb lifestyle, including meal planning, grocery shopping and
entertaining. This is a terrific addition to any kitchen, even for those not
following the Atkins or the South Beach diets. Simply put,
THE LOW-CARB GOURMET sets a new standard
in pleasurable, healthy eating.
KAREN BARNABY has been a professional chef for over 25 years. She is the
author of Pacific Passions and Screamingly Good Food, a Cuisine Canada Silver
Medal winner. She is also co-author of the Girls Who Dish series and two David
Wood cookbooks. Teaching herself to think outside the “bread box,” Karen lost
70 pounds on a low-carb regimen, improving her health, energy and confidence.
Say It Loud: Low-Carb And Proud!
March, 22nd,
2003
With the new research findings in 2002 and 2003, low-carbing is no
longer considered a fad, and we receive a lot of reports about doctors
recommending a low-carb diet to their patients.
Our members,
24 thousands and growing, are prouder than ever to talk about their success,
and point out the health improvements gained by following a healthy low-carb
plan, and sticking to it as a healthy lifestyle.
To show off their pride in this lifestyle, our members have created a few
eye-catching designs and slogans to wear as a T-shirt, or
printed on your coffee mug, office calendar, or show them off on a
bumper-sticker. Check them out here, in our
Low-Carb
Gear section.
Karen Barnaby's Low-Carb Story in the News
April, 24th,
2002
Karen Barnaby, known to our web visitors through her
gourmet low carb
recipes, was interviewed by the
Vancouver Sun's Murray
McMillan in what turned out to be a very positive and
educational piece on low-carbing!
"As as low-carber riding B.C. Ferries, try to find something to eat. The
majority of people's diets are carbohydrates," declares Barnaby with her usual
big laugh. Pasta, bread, starches, sweets, root vegetables (Want fries with
that?) are everywhere.
"I'm extremely passionate about this -- I could talk for days. I've shed 70
pounds and I think it saved me from a downward spiral health-wise," she says
between sips of San Pellegrino water. We're chatting in the dining room of the
Fish House in Stanley Park, where she's been the executive chef since 1995,
and where working in the kitchen offers endless temptation, mostly in the form
of carbohydrates.
