Summary: Easy,Tasty, Healthful & Variety Too !
Review: I find the only time I am really successful eating healthfully is when I have a simple, good tasting eating plan that fits into my lifetstyle. I was raised on FOOD so a dry grilled chicken breast and plainly dressed salad greens just doesn't do it for me. But leaving the house at 7am returning around 7pm I find it too difficult to research, plan and prepare more interesting dishes. If you enjoy being involved in the food you eat rather than just scarfing down whatever fast-food or prepared item is around then this book should be great for you too. The low-fat, low-sodium and super quick cleanup are great bonuses. 95% of the meals I've tried so far have been really good. Don't expect the richness of a gourmet meal - you just won't get that with low-fat, low-sodium cooking. But having said that what I love about these dishes is that the ingredients and flavors are complex enough to make them fun to prepare and very satisfying to eat. Finally the built-in portion control facilitates easy dieting as well. Great job.

Summary: A great place to start if you are counting calories.
Review: This book would be better if it had pictures of any of the dishes, the only picture is on the cover, also most of the dishes are almost exactly the same. If you don't like green or red peppers or cumin I don't suggest you buy this book!

Summary: If you want to eat healthier, this is the cookbook for you!
Review: We switched to a low fat diet because of a family history of heart disease. This cookbook made the transition effortless. We have tried 3 dozen recipes and have liked them all. My husband, who is a vegetable hater, is even eating squash and enjoying it! The recipes are so delicious, that my husband asks 'Are you sure this is low-fat?' If you want to eat healthier, without feeling deprived, this is the cookbook for you!
