Review: Very limited in scope and number of receipes. Save your money. Many free receipes on good internet sites like American Heart Association and Cooking light.I’ve been learning to cook with several cookbooks and have done fairly well. This book is 0 for 2. Without the pictures, anywhere, it is difficult to decide what looks delicious enough to cook after a long day at work. The wording in the directions are also a bit confusing. For example, “In a large saucepan bring the asaparagus, salt, pepper, broth and peppers to a boil..” Now, wouldnt you see asparagus and think, oh that needs water..?? Well no. It means to put it in the broth and bring THAT to a boil. It would have been better if it named the broth FIRST! That way you know that the liquid is the broth and therefore NO NEED FOR WATER…Which of course, made my meal bland, my husband laughing at me, and 3 hours wasted FORRRR NUTTIN!…Now I have to spend the rest of my night hungry, and annoyed!! BOO. For those learning to cook, I suggest the Martha Stewart book. Now those are pictures and well directed instructions! ….hiss…hiss…I have used several recipes from this cookbook. I have found them to be fairly easy and all that I have tried have tasted really good. The taste is so good you would never know that you were missing all the yummy fat or cholesterol.This is a very helpful cookbook with lots of delicious recipes for those who want to prepare foods that are low in fat, and low in cholesterol. Thank you American Heart Association.
