Eat Right Cookbook

As a cancer survivor looking to stay healthy this cookbook has been a huge help. It has easy to prepare recipes that are delicious and very healthy. I have lots of cookbooks and this is the only one I use consistently. I would recommend it to anyone.

Borrowed, now I'm buying...

I found out about this book when I was googling for a "greek chicken" recipe. It looked interesting so I got the book out of the library. It is so fantastic - SO many recipes are very appealing and it is very well written. I'm placing my order today. I have lots of cookbooks and love getting recipes off the web but can totally see this book becoming my "go to" source for most meals.

Any general-interest collection strong in cookbooks and health will want this.

Healthy Eating can prevent cancer deaths, which is why the American Cancer Society is involved with the publication of The Great American Eat-Right Cookbook, a gathering of over a hundred tasty recipes paired with color photos. From Poached Salmon with Mango Salsa to Pepperonhi Tortilla Piza and Mushroom-Barley Soup, the collection surveys the basic elements of healthy eating, then provides jazzy, innovative new dishes to support healthier habits. Any general-interest collection strong in cookbooks and health will want this.

Great, Easy Recipes

We have tried about 8 recipes so far in this cookbook, and to my surprise, they have all be excellent. In addition to healthy, they are very easy to make, and it's amazing how simple it is to change up a few things to make a normal dish even healthier.

Wow!

I can't say enough about this new healthy cookbook. The instructions are clear, the recipes are easy, and the results are amazing! I particularly like that the book lays flat--so I can keep it open while I'm cooking. And the bottom line is, I can put great tasting, healthy food on the table for my husband and children--without them suspecting that it's healthy for them. My goodness, even the french fries recipe is better than anything you'll find in a bag! Anyone who can make-over a french fry is tops in my book! I had never tried rattatouille--or however you spell that--but the movie inspired me to try it. And all I can say is WOW!!!
