The meals are easy to fix, delicious, and truly good for you

I am always on the hunt for a cookbook that will help me keep my families' health and taste in mind. Well I found this just a few weeks ago, and I'm glad I did. The first dish I made was the Five Vegetable Primavera. I served it over Angel Hair Pasta and created a new favorite at my house. I love the recipes that I have tried to date! The recipes are good and good for you. But the best part is the family likes them. (it's a mircle!)

Tasty recipes combined with sound nutrition

Ms. Kostas provides a great introduction wherein she discusses the basics of sound nutrition. Then it is on to the recipes. Although I haven't counted, there appear to be about 200 individual recipes which fall into 11 separate catagories. Literally there are multiple recipes for every occassion.This is not a program of deprivation. We have been sampling Ms. Kostas's recommendations for the past six weeks. They have been outstanding without exception. In my case, it has also helped me to shed the extra pounds. I highly recommend the book to anyone that wants to eat well, but healthy.

Finally, recipes that are nutritional and appealing.
