Veronica Atkins

If only Dr Robert Atkins had asked his wife to help write his first book! (I don't know if they were married then...) This is a simple, clear, easily understandable read. Even someone very unfamiliar with the Atkins diet idea would find this easy to follow. Plus, the range of ideas is extraordinary: vegetarian, cooking for kids, cooking on a budget, cooking for special occasions, slow cooker meals, and much more. Very impressive for what could have been a very narrowly-focused book.
