Not that I have a problem with it if she did, but I'm just wondering....I
see she has a lot of cookbooks out...many seem to be LC. Anyone have them
all or most of them? Comments?

Isn't she the lady who used to maintain a LC research site?

There was someone with initials JR (I honestly don't remember her name)
who had an extensive LC research site. I wonder whatever happened to it.

I don't think she got really rich, but I think she's quite comfortable.
She had mentioned once that she might even get her own show on Food
Network. I don't know what happened, or if she is still negotiating, but
I would love to see it work out for her. I don't know if she had a LC
research site or not though.

Perhaps she's still working on to rich!

Someone did, right? I'm not making that up, am I?

Laura Richard is the person who had the research website. It's no longer
active but you can find it through web archive.

I doubt anyone gets really rich writing cookbooks, but I think she does make
a living from them. She has a sporadic newsletter. You can subscribe at
her blog: http://holdthetoast.com/blog

If you didn't find her Googling it's because her name is spelled Carpender.

I have three of Ms Carpender's cookbooks and I love them.
I have /500 low carb recipes/ which has a recipe for wheat free
chocolate chip cookies, low carb barbeque sauce, and a couple of baked
chicken dishes that have become household staples.

/15-minute low-carb recipes/ has some really good side dish recipes
including a mushroom risotto made with cauliflower, as well as a whole
section on crock-pot recipes which require only 15 minutes of prep time
but cook all day.

And this last christmas we got the /Low Carb Barbeque Book/ which we
haven't really used yet since it's winter. I did notice a section in
back with various low-carb drink recipes.

If you go to her website she used to post sample recipes. I think it's
www.holdthetoast.com
