favorite cookbook

I have added more recipes to my arsenal from this book than any other. Most recipes are tasty, not too difficult and don't require hard to find ingreds.

You Will Almost Forget You're On A Diet!

The recipes in this book are wonderful. They may be a little time consuming in some cases, but well worth it. You would never know the dishes were reduced fat if someone didn't tell you. I particularly like the soup recipes, and many of the chicken recipes are regulars at our house now. Portion sizes are actually realistic, not the tiny bits that most 'diet' cookbooks use as a 'normal' portion. This cookbook has been one of the things I used to lower my cholesterol and to lose 24 pounds in the last several months. I have learned from the techniques used in this cookbook how to lighten some family favorites, and my husband has lost weight, too. I highly recommend this cookbook to anyone trying to lower their fat intake without feeling deprived.

A great starter book for low fat cooking.

I bought this book because I didn't know where to start with low fat cooking, and the other reviews were very favorable. What a find! The six or seven dishes we've already tried have been very tasty, and not too difficult to prepare. I was surprised to find that low fat dishes can actually taste good too. Great photos and a wide variety of dishes to select from. My only regret is that I should have purchased the hardback. We're using it so much that I know we're going to wear the paperback before too long. This one is a keeper!

100% Pleasure is just what this book is!

Nancy Bagget and Ruth Glick have put together an easy to understand guide to Low Fat Cooking. with some sound and practical advise on why its an important lifestyle change. What makes this book even more worthwhile is the recipies! I have made meals and baked deserts from the recipies in this book on many occasions; And have always received compliments.This book proves that Low Fat Cooking dosn't have to mean no flavor and no fun.
