Just what I was looking for

Healthy and easy recipes. Nice presentation.

A "must have" for all kitchens.

I bought this cookbook and was really surprised at the uniqueness of it, from the recipes to the pictures. I love to see how it should look. For me, one of the best aspects was the nutritional values of the foods I eat,and also the ones I don't and should. To have it all in one book is great. Being able to indulge in sweets and still get benefits is a real treat, like sweet potato chocolate cake! Who would have thought? I recommend this cookbook as a "must have" for all ages and every kitchen, whether to look up benefits or just something tasty and healthy. Great blending of foods!

A Great Cook Book For Both The Novice And Seasoned Chef

I just received my copy a few days ago. Being a novice in the kitchen, the first thing I found was how clear and easy to follow every recipe is. I have already picked out what will be my first meal. Antitoxidant Slaw, Meat Loaf, Roasted Vegetables, and Peanut Butter Cookies. Sound good? Wait until you see the healthy ingrediants that are used. Each section offers so many choices, you can plan meals for a week in advance using variations from each section so that you are not eating the same identical meal twice. Each recipe includes everything you need to know to prepare each dish, including "start to finish", an estimate of preparation time. Did I mention that I am a novice in the kitchen? Common sense tells me that I should triple the "start to finsh" time to be on the safe side. The Seasoned Chef will easily recognize the various recipes. These recipes will remind them that is better to use a healthier ingrediant. You are also provided a photograph of what each dish should look like when it is served. Jenny did the photography herself. The pictures are great. Immediately upon opening this book you will see how professionally it was done. One can only imagine how many hours of hard work went into the preparation of this book. Thanks Jenny.

Jenny really delivered!

I didn't really know what to expect from a talk show host, but Jenny is a natural at cooking and nutrition. What I see is good common sense presented in an easy and fun way. Love it! And, the pictures are great. Highly recommended for anyone who is health conscious. Can't go wrong!

Great, Healthy, and Easy to Make Recipes

I just got my copy of this cookbook and needless to say from my rating, I'm very impressed. First impressions, the book is beautiful, lots of great photography, really easy-to-follow recipes, a useful shopping list by each recipe, and some tell-it-like-it-is sidebars. I guess that's the Jenny Jones way, and I have to say, it's good to have her sort of honesty telling you why to eat beans :). I liked her show, and never really knew she was a cook, but so far I haven't been disappointed with any (well, any meaning two) of the recipes I've made so far. Besides helping my brain, skin, hair, and nails with Chicken-Vegetable Stew, I also gave my immune system, eyesight, and memory a big boost with the mango salsa I made. Both were delicious as well. I've never really followed the "Superfood" movement, but I always try to eat healthy. This book is an incredibly fun way to do just that. There are health benefits by every recipe, and the recipes are just things that I want to make, from refreshing salads to some great sounding main courses like Tortilla Pie. I'm pretty psyched about cooking from the rest of the book.
