Exceptionally good food, well written book

This book is excellent! It's been 4 years since I bought it while pregnant. I STILL use it. That's testimony to a great cookbook (and I have many cookbooks). The recipes are well written, very straightforward and uncomplicated. The food is healthy and ideal for someone who is used to *good* food rather than processed food. Previous comments about these recipes not being healthy is way off-base. Yes, there's fat and carbs -- but in moderation that's part of what a pregnant women needs to stay healthy. Eating meals made from this book is a hundred times more healthy than what the average American eats daily. Plus, it's REAL food. Some of my favorites: Quick Chicken with Pesto and Mozzarella; Roast Cod with Lentils, Red Bell Pepper and Salsa Verde (great for company too); Winter Veg Casserole with Horseradish Dumplings, Light Lemon Pudding. The authors are helpful in providing ideas for variation of recipes and nutritional details.
