Summary: the latest from America's most trusted kitchens
Review: Over 350 recipes show why Pillsbury has become the name to look for in recipes and great foods, and now, healthful eating. All of the recipes were selected from Pillsbury's Fast and Healthy magazine, which you see at supermarket check outs all over the country. Pillsbury knows exactly what we all want to eat, and how long we have to cook it! While you will happily cook from this book for special occasions and for company, you'll appreciate it most on those too-frequent nights when you get home late, have to get dinner on the table, and don't want to serve something unhealthy or order take-out. And, of course, it's filled with those irrisistible photographs that we all love, and lots of interesting sidebars and cooking tips to make cooking a pleasure.

Summary: Excellent beginners cookbook!
Review: This is by far the best cookbook for beginners. It has great recipes that don't call for exotic ingredients or difficult techniques, but still taste excellent. Plus, it teaches you some techniques and basics on how to cook, clean, select and store many different ingredients. We're college students, but now (thanks to this awesome cookbook) we can cook some good healthy dishes and not eat so much mac'n'cheese :)

Summary: Lives up to the title!
Review: This is probably the book I rely on most in the kitchen. I have purchased a lot of cookbooks since my doctor ordered me to eat healthier, but this one is the best! I am a very impatient person -- I think microwave ovens take too long. I also hate to cook anything that's too fancy. But the Fast & Healthy Cookbook takes all the angst out of my kitchen; it truly lives up to it's title. Everything in it is fast, healthy.... and absolutely delicious. I have used the recipes for everything from family meals to special occasions and parties and no one has ever been able to tell that the food is "good for them". I can't recommend this book highly enough! It also contains boxes throughout the book that highlight certain foods or methods of cooking which is great for anyone who has ever been intimidated in the kitchen. I also especially love the color photos of the dishes. This is a great cookbook. My only complaint is that I agree with the reviewer who wanted it to be spiral bound, but we can't have everything...

Summary: A must buy for the busy new cook
Review: Tired of bland food that's healthy? Are you looking to eat better food, not just for your hips, but your tongue too? Well, look no further. There are several reasons this Pillsbury book is at the top of the list in terms of cookbooks. 1. Nutritional Information
How many times do you buy a healthy cookbook only to discover it has NO nutritional information. This isn't just annoying (although it's extremely annoying indeed!) but it makes it hard to fit recipes into your fitness plan without extensive math. 2. Realistic portion size.
This is a key one; it's not a two-by-two inch piece of chicken that fills you up, its a chicken breast. This book has realistic portions that most people eat, for your kids but for you too. 3. Balanced selection
Not too many desserts, a great selection of other departments, and in general a well-rounded selection of food. Some are "ethnic" in nature, most of these being middle eastern or oriental. There are italian dishes and a few curry recipes as well. 4. Price
For the price, you get a huge cookbook, with a lot of information. In general, there were very few cons to this book. It is a bit awkward to cook with due to its size; it is pretty hefty. A cookbook stand is reccomended (but I reccomend those anyway). If other healthy books have left you stranded, give this one a try. The food is tasty and it's healthy to boot. How many pleasurable things are also good for you? Not many, and that's why this book is such a gem.
