Review: This is a great book for cooking healthy. If you are looking to drop a few pounds without taking a way all the carbs that you love you have found the right book.The recipes that I have tried have all turned out really well. I just wish there were pictures to accompany the recipes.Though this cookbook does not contain pictures, it contains a lot of great recipes that are quick, easy to follow, and healthy. They have quite a bit of flavor as well, and the portions aren’t skimpy (like the weight watchers cookbooks I’ve found). The recipes are varied and don’t call for unusual ingredients - but you’ll find that this also isn’t your typical American “SAD” fare skinnied down. The recipes are healthy by nature, focusing on healthy ingredients rather than diet-oriented substitutes or trendy low-carb fare.
The cookbook also contains a lot of helpful information on healthy eating and what it takes to lose and/or maintain weight from a healthful, long-term perspective. This is a great addition to my cookbook library.There were a lot of good heart healthy recipes in the cookbook. I would have liked to have had a picture to go along with each recipe. Sometimes, I can tell if I want to cook the recipe by looking at the picture first.Great cookbook! Dieter friendly! I use this cookbook along with the biggest loser cookbook over and over for a little variety.
