Soon after, she founded Proseed Flour, a bus iness specializing in the production of high-protein/low-carb glu ten-free flour.

Excerpt. ® Reprinted by permission. All rights rese rved. These recipes are designed to meet the dietary needs of peo ple who are sensitive to gluten or have diabetic or prediabetic c onditions. There are only small amounts of carbohydrates in most of these recipes, mostly from the nut and seed flours and small a mounts of fruit or vegetables. In all of these cases, the carbs a re balanced out by the complementary natural fiber in these foods . These are baked goods that have essentially no glycemic load, m aking it possible for people with blood sugar or insulin concerns to enjoy them freely. The secret to the success of the recipes i n this book is twofold: utilizing a variety of nut and seed flour s, and working with alternative, sugar-free sweeteners. You'll le arn all about these ingredients in the chapter The Basics. Be sur e to read the pantry section, as it provides details on how to ma ke your own nut and seed flours, as well as why we mostly use cer tain alternative sweeteners (and why you need to do the same). On ce you've digested that information, you'll be able to join us in creating the most unique and delicious gluten-free, sugar-free, low-carb baked goods you've ever had. As a bonus, these baked goo ds are not only safe for diabetics and people with gluten sensiti vity, but also a good choice for many folks who are looking for a healthful alternative to traditional baked goods. Barring allerg ies to nuts or other ingredients we call for, these recipes are a perfect fit for anyone on a low-carb diet, such as Atkins, South Beach, the Belly Fat Cure, Sugar Busters, and others, and are al so a healthy alternative for kids' lunch boxes. Obviously, there is no one diet that works for everyone. If you're allergic or sen sitive to tree nuts, these recipes won't work for you. Fortunatel y, there are plenty of specialized cookbooks available, including some with a focus on allergen-free recipes (we've listed our fav orites in the Resources section). Our mission here is to serve th e large and, unfortunately, growing population of people with dia betes, prediabetes, weight loss and obesity struggles, and gluten intolerance. If the innovative recipes in this book accomplish t his by offering you new and delicious options, it will be a very good day for us. These baked goods do, of course, contain calorie s; however, when used to replace your normal, starch-based baked goods, they will actually help with weight loss. These recipes ar e free of calories from the sugars and refined grains typically u sed in baked goods--considered to be empty calories because they contain minimal nutrients beyond their carbohydrate. Sugars and r efined grains are also rapidly converted into blood sugar (glucos e), and if they aren't quickly burned up by activity, they're eve ntually stored as fat. We believe that everyone will love these r ecipes, even people without dietary restrictions. It's true that the baked goods they yield won't taste like those made with wheat . For that matter, they also won't taste like gluten-free baked g oods made with rice and tapioca flour--and we view this as a good thing! They have their own distinctive flavor and texture, and w e believe that they are extremely delicious and will please your palate. And regardless of dietary restrictions, most folks could benefit from eating fewer sugars and refined carbs, and from intr oducing more variety into their diet. This book will help you do just that. All of that said, we imagine you've chosen this cookbo ok because you or someone you love has issues with sugar, gluten, obesity, or carbohydrates. If so, you're probably well aware of all of the ins and outs of these medical conditions. However, if you have further questions about these topics, the Resources sect ion will point you toward some reputable sources of information. Just to be clear, we aren't making any health claims or offering a dietary plan in this book. That's a job for the experts, and we 're happy to refer you to them. However, we will give you just a bit of background information on food allergies, gluten sensitivi ty, obesity, and diabetic considerations in the sections that fol low.

Manticore's Queen Elizabeth III is impl acably determined to give the Republic of Haven not a single terr itorial concession, but the Havenites are getting their political and military act together such that they feel safe resenting Man ticoran empire building. Meanwhile, the Andermani Empire is fishi ng in the troubled systems of the Silesian Confederacy and upgrad ing its navy, to the considerable dismay of Honor, whose own nava l backing has been cut by an inept, penny-pinching ministry. Hono r is also hopelessly in love with the earl of White Haven, and he with her. Out of respect for the earl's crippled wife, they refr ain from acting on their love. That situation is at first apparen tly made worse when Samantha, the mate of Honor's lifelong-bonded treecat Nimitz, bonds with the earl! At least that matter is res olved more happily by the time full-scale war breaks out, and the reader wonders finally whether the climax and the conclusion of the entire Honor Harrington series are approaching, to be publish ed, most appropriately, in October 2005, the bicentennial of the Battle of Trafalgar.

His Imperial Majesty Gust av didn't. Now that the fighting between the Star Kingdom and the Havenites had ended, the Andermani Emperor had his own plans for Silesia, and he was confident he could achieve them without a wa r of his own. Protector Benjamin didn't. His people had made too deep a commitment to the Manticoran Alliance, in blood as well a s treasure, for him to want to risk seeing it all thrown away. A nd Honor Harrington certainly didn't. The Salamander had seen the inside of too many furnaces already, knew too much about how muc h war cost. Unfortunately, what they wanted didn't matter.... E ditorial Reviews Review David Weber's Honor Harringto n series continues in this 10th novel, which picks up the action several years after the previous volume, Ashes of Victory. With a ceasefire in place with the Peeps, the new government of the Sta r Kingdom ignores the wishes of Queen Elizabeth and then threaten s the very fabric of the Manticore Alliance against the People's Republic of Haven. We find Honor in the role of a senior politica l advisor, performing with her usual flair and élan. With War o f Honor coming in at over 800 pages, Weber has room to expand sub plots and secondary characters and bring to the reader a feeling of depth and completeness seldom seen in science fiction novels. Favorite characters from past stories return, many of them growin g in stature from unimportant secondary characters to major playe rs in the Honorverse. Weber serves up trouble in Silesia, the exc itement of a new wormhole junction, scheming in Manticorian polit ics, strange events deep in Peep territory, and plenty of explodi ng spaceships--and, as publisher Jim Baen says, We like exploding spaceships. --Ron Peterson From Publishers Weekly In previous installments of David Weber's bestselling space opera series feat uring the intrepid Honor Harrington, she's won the sometimes unwi lling admiration of friend and foe alike in her battles with the brutal and corrupt People's Republic of Haven.

A solid choice for sf collections, particularly for libraries t hat own previous series titles. Copyright 2002 Reed Business Inf ormation, Inc. From Booklist *Starred Review* The complexity of the latest and longest but not the most action-packed Honor Harri ngton yarn indicates that Weber is developing the characterizatio ns and setting the political and strategic framework for grander action than ever to come. Manticore's Queen Elizabeth III is impl acably determined to give the Republic of Haven not a single terr itorial concession, but the Havenites are getting their political and military act together such that they feel safe resenting Man ticoran empire building. Meanwhile, the Andermani Empire is fishi ng in the troubled systems of the Silesian Confederacy and upgrad ing its navy, to the considerable dismay of Honor, whose own nava l backing has been cut by an inept, penny-pinching ministry. Hono r is also hopelessly in love with the earl of White Haven, and he with her. Out of respect for the earl's crippled wife, they refr ain from acting on their love. That situation is at first apparen tly made worse when Samantha, the mate of Honor's lifelong-bonded treecat Nimitz, bonds with the earl! At least that matter is res olved more happily by the time full-scale war breaks out, and the reader wonders finally whether the climax and the conclusion of the entire Honor Harrington series are approaching, to be publish ed, most appropriately, in October 2005, the bicentennial of the Battle of Trafalgar.
