Customer Reviews

This book is excellent.

After learning my husband and I have high cholesterol, I wasn't quite sure where to start. This book has a great variety of easy to follow recipes that has been added to our after work dinner options.

Great start to healthy

My husband was recently told he has high cholesterol. His doctor told him to make life changes if he wanted to see 50. We have tried several recipes and have liked all of them. They use simple ingrediants. If you have to add something to your cabinet, more than likely you will use it in more than one of the recipes.

improving my diet

As a diabetic with a number of health issues, I found this cookbook to be most helpful in my fight to maintain good health. They are varied and simple to make.

Delicious and recipes have great nutritional stats

Every recipe I have made from this book has been delicious! I was surprised! And the recipes use common ingredients. Recipes are easy to assemble and the directions make sense. If only it had pictures! I think the revised editions have more pics. Great cookbook and I definitely recommend it for anyone concerned about improving their health.

Unbelievably excellent taste!

All of the recipes I've made (20 so far) are all good. Do you think apple juice, lemon, oil and vinegar would taste good with mixed vegetables? Neither did I until I made it. EVERY single one has been excellent and outstanding. I recommend this cookbook to the novice, the beginner, the expert!

Eating Healthy Doe Not Have to Taste Bad

After a battle with a higher cholesterol reading than what I am accustommed to, I thought I would get more consious of what I would be eating. I bought this cookbook recently and tried a couple of the recipes. When my 11 year old sat down and tasted the Asian Chicken and stuffed mushrooms, his first comment after his first bite was "Wow...this is great!" I concurred.This whole meal gave us less than 6 grams of fat and under 100 millgrams of cholesterol.This I can live with!
