Summary: Mouth-Watering Recipes
Review: "Low fat" and "low cholesterol" don't have to mean low flavor! These recipes have a great variety. Most of the recipes are very easy to follow, use basic ingredients and don't require hours of preparation. Granted there are a few recipes, as in any cookbook, that are a bit extravagant, but those are great for entertianing company and still sticking to your diet.
As an example of the simplicity: Mushroom & Mozzerella Risotto (Prep=10 min, Cook=35 min), Country Turkey Stroganoff (Prep=10 min, Cook=15 min), and Chicken & Cornbread Stuffing Casserole (Prep=15, Cook=15).
Great tasting recipes, great variety, easy to make!

Summary: A great introduction to low-fat cooking
Review: After my husband had emergency heart bypass surgery and we were suddenly plunged into a low-fat lifestyle, I looked at almost every low-fat cookbook in print. This one is my favorite. There are full-page color photos and a complete nutritional analysis for each recipe. The recipes are easy and taste good, and don't use weird ingredients like pureed prunes or carob powder. The Lemon Meringue Cake with Strawberries was a big hit - I plan to try out the Chocolate Swirl Cheesecake, too. Overall, a very easy introduction to a different way of life.

Summary: Mouth-Watering Recipes
Review: My husband and I have both recently been diagnosed with high cholesterol and could both lose some weight. I purchased this cookbook from Amazon.com and have been trying each of the recipes. I have been very highly surprised, thinking that if it was low-fat or low-cholesterol, I would have to saccrifice taste in my cooking. Not so. This cookbook offers wonderfully, easy recipes which are so delicious. It offers nutrition info on each recipe, as well as the time it will take to cook the meal (most under 30 minutes). Every recipe we've tried (and we're going to try them all) has been great. My husband doesn't even notice that it's healthy! The recipes are also very simple to make. I go through the book and make my shopping list from the ingredients of the recipes I want to put on my menu for the week. Some of our favorites have been: The Cajun Mustard Pork Chops, Hearty Beef and Veggies, and Lemon Dill Shrimp. You'll be happy if you get this recipe book.

Summary: Wonderfully Simple and Tasteful!
Review: This book is packed not only with yummy recipes but also with great information regarding Cholesterol, Fat, and Calories.

Just tried the chocolate brownies and they are wonderful!!! They definitely don't taste low calorie and low cholesterol!

Each recipe is listed as being either Low Fat, Low Cholesterol, and/or Low Calorie so no matter what your diet needs you'll find recipes you love. Most of the recipes are low in all 3 areas, even the desserts!!!

This book is worth it for the nutritional information alone but please make sure and try the chocolate brownies!!!

Summary: A Low Fat Cookbook With Recipes That Don't Taste Low Fat!!
Review: This is a great cookbook for anyone who wants to eat right and actually ENJOY his/her food as well! To begin, there is a lot of helpful and interesting information regarding healthy eating in the beginning of the book. Don't skip past it--it's good information! The recipes themselves are laid out in an easy to understand format and there is nutritional information for every recipe. Also, the recipes don't have a huge amount of ingredients; thus, making it quick and easy! Furthermore, there are a decent amount of pictures--we all love seeing those great pictures when flipping through a cookbook right? I've made several recipes so far and they all turned out great--I highly recommend this cookbook!
