Can anyone recommend low-carb cookbooks that don't require hard-to-find ingredients?

The best low carb cookbook was put together by the folks at alt.support.diet.low-carb (ASDLC) - which you can find here:

Tina's LowCarb Cookbook

Many thanks to Tina MacDonald for putting it together from the ASDLC archives.

If you want some delicious low carb baked good recipes, like cookies, muffins, cheesecake, etc., just send me a private message, and I'll send you some of my own. One of my "rules" for creating a recipe is that it not have hard-to-find ingredients.

Many thanks Maven - I don't know how good this is, (From your post of 'Tina's Lowcarb Cookbook', but... for all you PIZZA LOVERS out there:

Melissa’s Pizza Crust
1/2 Cup of Atkins Bake Mix
1/2 teaspoon each of: salt, pepper, garlic, Italian seasoning (Or Oregano if you don't have Italian)
1 Egg
1/3 Cup of whipping cream
1/3 to 1/2 Cup of water
Put all ingredients (begin by adding only the 1/3 cup of the water to see how much you will need) into a mixing bowl
and thoroughly mix with electric mixer. This batter should be THIN - Runny like the consistency of Maple syrup - NO
thicker or it won’t work right! Adjust by adding more of the water as needed to achieve this.
Now, take your pizza pan and HEAVILY grease it with SOLID shortening (NOT oil or butter!). Using a spatula to get it
all, scrape all the “batter” onto the pizza pan and tilt pan around letting the batter run to the edges of all sides covering
the bottom of the pan.
Now bake it like this at 400 degrees for about 7 min or so. Look at it, and when the edges get brown and it’s looking
done pull it out and carefully grasp the edges and FLIP IT OVER. This should go in one quick movement and in one
piece if you greased enough! Bake for 3 min more and pull it out. Now add 1/2 C of Ragu pizza quick sauce and
cheese and whatever toppings you want! and turn the oven down to 350 degrees and bake your pizza for about 10 – 12
minutes (until the cheese is bubbly and lightly brown.
