Summary: Easy Recipes--My Family Loves
Review: I've been an avid fan of Ms. Triboles' Shape magazine column, Recipe Makeovers (that's where I learned of her new book). So far I've made the Barbecue Chicken Pizza (easy and my kids loved it) Roasted Asparagus (divine) and the Chocolate Cake (unbelievable, really.) What I like so far is that the recipes are easy with uncomplicated ingredients. This cookbook is staying on my counter--it's the new staple in my kitchen.

Summary: Still tastes good, but food has a healthy twist
Review: I've enjoyed a few recipes already and had the book for 3 days. The Artichoke Frittata was great tasting and reduced calories and fat minus cooking oil and using egg whites. Never missed them. Pumpkin-Nut Muffins substitued applesauce for oil and used a healthy cup of whole wheat flour slipped in for health, but didn't affect density or flavor. My only disappointment with the book is that many recipes use refrigerator dough and some prepared ingredients that I wouldn't necessarily call "Healthy". If you are concerned with partially hydrogenated oils, then you would not enjoy some recipes. Overall it looks like a keeper in my overflowing shelf of cookbooks.

Summary: ITs THE BEST
Review: I've seen Ms. Tribole several times on QVC shopping tv and I finally broke down and got her book and I'm happy to say that her recipes taste as good as they look. I especially like all the food photos so I know what the dish is supposed to look like. Best of all my kids have loved what I have cooked from this book so.

Summary: Best cookbook in my collection
Review: My husband & one of my daughters have to eat high-fiber, low-fat foods. In search of a cookbook that would provide me with healthy, low-fat, good-tasting versions of our favorite foods, I bought this book. All of the recipes I've tried so far taste great. No one can tell they're low-fat recipes. I'm so glad I can prepare low-fat food that doesn't taste like cardboard!

Summary: Best cookbook in my collection
Review: This book was a gift from my mother, and I must say it is one of the best gifts I have ever received. It is very difficult to find a cookbook that actually has nutritional information. This book has that, and more. The tips and suggestion about how to "overhaul" your family favorites is worth it in and of itself. I now know why my lasagna turned out "soupy" when I used fat free ricotta cheese, and I now know how to fix it. The recipes are simple, they taste delicious, and my friends and family never know they are eating "light." Yes, there are some meals that call for some pre-packaged items (such as refrigerated bread dough) but those recipes are usually in the "15 Minute Recipe" section, so I expect to find these time saving conveniences. The good thing is, you can substitute your own home-made items if you are not fond of the prepackaged. It will just take a little longer to make. I truly flip through this cookbook every week when deciding what to make in the week ahead, and making out my shopping list. The most exotic incredients I found the book to call for was Anchovy Paste (for Ceasar Salad dressing) and Dried Mushrooms (Pasta with Wild Mushroom sauce) both of which can be found in most large super markets. If you are looking for a low fat, healthy cookbook WITH nutritional information filled with recipes that most kids and teenagers won't turn their nose up at, then this book is for you!

Summary: The BEST!
Review: This woman is pure genius. I have several low-fat cookbooks on my shelf that will gather dust now that I have three of Evelyn Tribole's cookbooks - one on desserts alone. She has taken several "everyday" recipes and transformed them into lower fat, lower calorie and overall healthier delights. Soooooo tasty too. Nothing she calls for in her recipes will require any special trips to a gourmet grocer - you will find the ingredients in any run of the mill supermarket. Before getting my hands on Tribole's books, I tried several cookbooks from some of the most reputable companies out there. I was becoming discouraged and was near ready to give up on the idea that healthy eating and taste could coincide. One of the coolest things is that Tribole gives away her trade secrets so that you can learn what modifications to make to turn your own recipes into healthier versions. Don't be hesitant because of the lack of familiarity with the author or by the cover images like I was - her books are the BEST!
