MEDIA RELEASE – July 2015
Counting carbs? Then this recipe book is a must.
carbs by numbers recipe options ─ 15g carbs or less per serve provides an exciting array of
recipe ideas.
carbs by numbers recipe options ─ 15g carbs or less per serve is a beautifully presented
easy to use cook book with an extended nutritional panel for every recipe.
All the recipes in the book have carb counts of 15g or less per serve and are perfectly suited
to the increasing number of people who are looking for low carb recipe ideas.
A national 2014 study by the Grains & Legumes Nutrition Council states that there has been
a 30 per cent fall in carbohydrate consumption over the past three years, which
demonstrates the demand for a book such as this to be published.
Every recipe has the following information: energy ─ kilojoules and calories, protein, total fat,
saturated fat, cholesterol, carbohydrate, sugars, dietary fibre, vitamin C, total vitamin A,
sodium, potassium, calcium and iron. This easy-to-read extended nutritional panel is a major
feature of the carbs by numbers series of recipe option books.
All the recipes are colour coded according to the level of carbohydrates per serve: 0-5g carbs
is colour coded green, 6-10g carbs is colour coded blue and 11-15g carbs is colour coded
magenta.
The book makes carb-conscious meal planning easy. For example, four seed crackers (1g)
with guacamole (1g) followed by pork and sage rounds with cauliflower mash (4g) and
finishing with tiramisu (7g), adds up to a meal of just 13g of carbohydrates.
The 112-page book with a full colour photograph for every recipe includes options that many
low-carb followers may not expect to find such as crunchy granola, Japanese pancakes,
tiramisu, pizza and chocolate cake. The recipes are also gluten free.
There’s a good cross section of hot and cold recipes, vegetarian and non vegetarian, and all
are family-friendly. All the ingredients are readily available at supermarkets.

About the authors:
Sandra Dunbar and Meg Pell live on the Mornington Peninsula south of Melbourne, Australia. Both
are successful business owners. The decision to create a partnership and publish a series of recipe
books was made in 2013 when the idea of taking a fresh look at carbs took shape. This has evolved
into recipe development sessions where high carb foods are substituted with natural ingredient
combinations.
Their first book, carbs by numbers recipe options ─ 15g carbs or less per serve was published in
mid 2015 with their second book already in the pipeline and due for release soon.
Georgia McDermott was commissioned to do the food styling and photography.
