Summary: Great for those who are lactose intolerant
Review: I purchased this book because it contained recipes like flan that didn't require any dairy products. It also provides some great tips for substituting out ingredients like cream and other milk products without sacrificing texture and taste.At first, I was a bit concerned that most of the recipes in the book called for ingredients that I had never heard of, but even the small health-food section of my local grocery store had almost everything that I needed.

Summary: Yummy
Review: I saw this on Martha Stewart and it took me six months to remember to buy it... yum. Money well spent. I was already vegitarian, for 8 years, so I don't remember the exact taste of meatloaf, but even if these recipes aren't exact replicas, they are good. The meatless/soy reuben is delicious and the thousand island dressing does taste exactly like the real except that it's good for you. Worth a try!

Summary: After Chemo, Some Folks Will Eat Anything!
Review: I'm sorry to disagree with so many "true believers", but I too am a cancer survivor and I truly believe it is the fear of relapse rather than the taste of Mr.Milken's concoctions that influenced so many of these rave reviews. I tried the soy "smoothies" and found they tasted better on the way out. After trying his Devil's "Fool" Cake, I felt like a fool shelling out all this money! Life is too short- I know- so eat REAL food! If you buy this book, consider it nothing more than a donation to Milken's worthy Cancer research organization. Spare yourself the culinary agony of sampling these "dishes". When I licked cancer, I treated myself to a juicy rib-eye. Of course, I watch what I eat and mind my cholesterol. But I must have pleasure too. Cancer was painful enough!

Summary: Take care of your body and it will take care of you!
Review: It is about time someone developed easy-to-follow recipes using ingredients that are good for us. I recommend this book for anyone who realizes their body is precious. Thank you Ms. Ginsberg and Mr. Milken for teaching me and my family how to use healthy ingredients to create delicious meals. We've never felt better!

Summary: Revolutionize the way healthy food taste
Review: Mr. Milken's book revolutionizes the way healthy food looks and tastes. By substituting fresh, natural, low-fat ingrediants into everyday recipies...anyone who wants to eat healthy...but not give up the taste of unhealthy foods....can! This book is AMAZING! Every recipe I've tried has come out gormet (both in taste and astetics)...and I can't even cook!

Summary: My new favorite cookbook
Review: Not only is this cookbook beautiful to look at, but the food is also amazing. I was always reluctant to try soy products, but this cookbook makes them taste familiar and delicious. I have purchased several copies as Christmas gifts - I want to share it with everyone.

Summary: Unbelievable banana cream pie and brownies!
Review: So far, I've only tried the desserts, but they are amazing. I never knew cooking with soy could taste this good!

Summary: Good Stuff
Review: The book presents recipes attractively. I've tried a few and they were easier and better than I expected, given the somewhat unusual ingredients for familiar foods. The book goes astray, to some degree, in my opinion, because it works too hard at recreating unhealthy high fat foods with low-fat, high-soy, equivalents. Better to just present vegetarian recipees that don't try to seem like something else.

Summary: If I Were A Rich Man...
Review: The taste For Living Cookbook Mike Milken's Favorite Recipes For Fighting Cancer is a nicely photographed book. The recipes are basic health food fare. Cut down on fat,avoid meat, eat lots of veggies and soy. If I was a wealthy man I would have a professional chef move into my home and cook these complicated meals im my professional kitchen. I would also go to a medition center in Massachusetts "based on Ayurveda tradition" and I would "invite a doctor trained in both Western and Ayurveda medicine to move into...our house for a few months" I don't mean to be cynical but I have neither the time or money to follow this books recipes. I did not find this book very helpful .
