Great Cookbook- pregnant or not

The recipes in this book are wonderful. The ingredients list is written in the order that they are used- most recipes have easy to find ingredients (nothing too exotic)- most are quick and relatively simple to prepare- it's very well organized and full of delicious recipes. Directions are easy to follow and consist of fresh ingredients (a big plus for me). The beginning is full of useful nutritional information and the chapters are divided into recipes for preconception, the trimesters plus a postpartum section. Much attention is paid to what nutrients are needed at each particular time. You can tell that a doctor-chef couple wrote the book- there is a logical balance between flavor and fact. I definetly reccomend this as a cookbook whether or not you are pregnant!

This book was invaluable to me!

I suffered extreme morning sickness through much of my pregnancy--this book helped my find foods to calm the queasies and to nurture my body and baby. Yes, some of the recipes are a little involved, but there are many quick foods and make-ahead suggestions that are very helpful--especially postpartum.

This book is making eating during pregnancy really enjoyable

I really like this book and now that I have read through the first chapters which cover a good, common sense approach to nutrition during pregnancy, I feel much better informed that I was before. So many other books are harsh about what not to eat, this book gives some really good ideas about what to eat, when to eat it, and what you will gain from it. And what great recipes they have created!!! It takes ingredients that seem lackluster and turns them into really fabulous meals. Although some recipes are time-consuming, they are not more so than any other popular current cookbook, and the result is well worth the effort. Conversely, a large portion of the recipes use short ingredient lists, most of which are readily available in any kitchen. I am pretty sure that some of these recipes will still be in my repertoire even after our child is born. Thanks for a really great cookbook.

Simple, delicious, practical.

This book answers the need for simple and practical eating duing pregnancy. There are answers to problems such as nausea, heartburn, an constipation. You do not have to eat rabbit food to stay healthy in pregancy! There is even room for things like the recipe "Sinful chocolate chip cookies." My cravng for salt was satisfied deliciously with "Orvieto Chicken," a crispy Tuscan-style dish. Lots of delicious dishes with greens, such as Pasta with Swiss Chard and Pine Nuts.

Consise, informative and delicious!!!!

What a great book! Combines clear and detailed nutritional information for those considering pregnancy, pregnant and post-partum. Suggestions on snacking, eating out etc. The recipes are incredible and broken out into trimesters. You can tell that a gourmet chef created them. Takes the foods you are "supposed" to eat and makes them into clever and delicious meals.Also has a recipe index of those dishes which provides larges portions of needed iron, folic acid etc.A really great book!
