Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I've had this book for quite some time now, and have finally decided to give it a much deserved review. I buy a lot of cookbooks and a lot of them just languish on my shelf despite yummy sounding recipes. I don't really know why. Lately, I've been snapping up "healthy" cookbooks and magazines to find inspiration and clean up my family's diet. I almost didn't buy this little gem, but I am SO glad that I did. The price of the book was worth it to me just for the Light Waldorf Salad on pg. 55. I LOVE that salad... it is sooo scrumptious and completely customizable to your own tastes. Try throwing a handful of chopped dried cherries into that one. There is also a fantastic recipe for Lemon Dill Twice-Baked potatoes that I made for the first time last night. I loved them so much, I ate a half cold this morning (though I will brush the outside with a little bit of oil before baking next time). There are LOTS of recipes in this book. They all come with an inviting picture and nutrition information. I love the fact that the calorie count per serving is in large type right below the picture of the recipe. Makes it easy to determine quickly if a recipe will fit into a particular meal plan. Also, the recipes are simple... easy instructions and easy ingredients, without being bland and boring. The first few pages of the book discuss weight loss strategies and tips, exercise, and even gives a sample 14 day menu. After that there is nothing but recipes. Don't expect 'gourmet', just straightforward recipes that are satisfying, simple, and yummy. And for crying out loud, try that Waldorf!
