Customer Reviews

outstanding

This book and Don Mauer's other book (Guy's Guide to Great Eating) have helped me lose over 70 pounds. As other reviewers have stated, the recipes are both easy and flavorful, but I think the best thing about the recipes in this book is that they are so satisfying that you don't think about the fact that they are low fat as you are eating them. This cookbook is going to be a big part of my weight maintenance plan!

not bad

most lowfat cookbooks make you think you're eating cardboard & sawdust. (no flames, please. i know that cardboard & sawdust are healthy.) this cookbook does a very nice job. it's also *simple*, void of arcane ingredients (one of its competitor books specifies "Vietnamese red rice," not exactly a staple on the Safeway shelves). the seafood recipes are particularly good. you can make these tasty dishes with minimum fuss and maximum enjoyment.

Simple, Fast, Tasty!!

I bought this book in 1996 for myself after getting it out of the Northbrook, IL library. Now I am buying it for others as gifts. The receipes are down home, common sense, appealing and satisfying. Don Mauer's personal story is inspiring.

Absolutely delicious recipes using easy-to-find ingredients.

My kitchen shelves are full of recipe books claiming delicious recipes for low-fat cooking. Many have ingredients only a gourmet cook would have or ingredients found only in organic food stores or specialty shops, neither of which is located within 60 miles of my home. Don's recipes are absolutely delicious and easy to prepare using readily available ingredients. All recipes I have prepared could be served to any guests without fear they "taste" low fat (in other words tasteless). Many authors use similar ingredients over and over and their recipes began to taste the same--not Don's, all have a unique taste. I can hardly wait for another cookbook from Don Mauer--I'll be one of his first customers.
