As a public health professional discouraged by the popularity of weight loss books peddling potentially health compromising diet plans, I find this book to be a breath of fresh air.

The tone is friendly but authoritative. There is the "one-on-one" sense that draws you in to a personal relationship with the authors (love the comments that go along with the recipes) and a feeling that you are interacting with someone...
