Customer Reviews

Cooking without Fat

This is a wonderful book. I have tried some of the recipes and they are very tasty. Looking forward to trying more.

healthy AND tasty - what a concept

lots of great, simple recipes are included, with nutritional info for each. the honey-dijon chicken is our favorite; the recipes use regular ingredients in novel ways so one doesn't miss the texture added by fats. i hope the publisher re-issues this - we need more cookbooks like this.

The BEST!

I would concur with the review above. Most low-fat cookbooks leave much to be desired -- unless of course you have a penchant for dog food. This one has wonderful recipes that are easy to prepare and, in some cases, nice enough for company. We especially like the Bombay Chicken, the Mexican chicken soup, and the Spanish rice.

THE Healthy Eating Cookbook to buy

This is a TERRIFIC book! Not only are the recipes easy and quick to prepare, but they actually taste good! In addition, the ingredients are every day items that you can find at your grocery store...and they don't cost an arm and a leg. I own quite a few cookbooks - this one is my favorite.

Recipes great

I bought this book last year and my wife took it to heart. The recipes give you a guide to very fine tasting food at very low calorie intake. When we followed this book for dinner we both lost 1/2 pound per day and stayed with it. Then we got lazy and went back to our old ways. Now back to the book. Now, this is realy good food. The meals will fill you up and you would think that you went to a very expensive restaurant. You must shop for the cooking items and spices, but the meals are easy to make. Recommended prep time and cooking times are very accurate. And of course you can make some adjustments by subtituting items here and there.
