Customer Reviews

Easy, healthy American cooking!

As a fan of Americana and good, home-cooked meals, I was looking for a book like this for a while, and found it here. Almost any well-known American meal/sidedish/dessert is included in the 200 recipes, and the fact that the author has tried to make them low in fat is even better. Each recipe also includes a small paragraph of extra information, which is interesting to read.

Healthy Easy Recipies

I was impressed with the ease of putting the recipies together, and amazed that low fat could taste so GOOD! This is a great cookbook !

For any health conscious kitchen cookbook collection

Homestyle Cooking Made Healthy is a throughly impressive and "kitchen cook friendly" compilation of two hundred classic American dishes recreated in a low-fat format but still retaining all the original flavor of higher-calory, higher-fat versions of years past. From Carrot-Raisin Salad; Twice-Baked Potatoes; Scampi with Spaghetti; and Chicken Croquettes; to Chicken-Fried Steak with Country Gravy; Crunch Grain Waffles; Lobster and Broccoli Stir-Fry; and Black Bottom Pie, the recipes comprising Homestyle Cooking Made Healthy live up to the promise of lower fat content with no sacrifice to taste. Each recipes comes with a "Homestyle Makeover" side-bar showcasing before and after calorie and fat gram counts. Homestyle Cooking Made Healthy is a welcome and enthusiastically recommended addition to any health conscious kitchen cookbook collection!

Good Food For Anyone

I was reciently diagnosed with high cholestrol. I've been haunting the library for cookbooks for food I can eat. This book was sitting on the shelf and reached out and grabbed me. Fried chicken and gravey, wow. This works for me, so I just ordered a copy.

This cookbook presents healthy recipes with great taste!

Jeanne Jones takes a selection of everyone's favorite dishes, cuts the extra fat & calories, and they still taste like Grandma used to make. Her recipes call for ingredients that most well stocked pantries will already have or are readily available at your local grocery store. The foods are hits with adults and children alike. If I had known eating healthy was this tasty and easy, I would have started years ago!
