Basic Makeovers, Great Tips, and Extra Meal Suggestions

This cookbook is several inches thick and does not have pictures. Please don't let that discourage you. If you're serious about healthy, heart-friendly cooking, this is the cookbook you need. I'm an experienced cook and have tons of cookbooks, but I'm turning more and more to this "all-in-one" cookbook that I can trust to have a healthy recipe for just about anything I have a taste for that day/week. You will SO appreciate that they give heart-healthy recipes for "basics" (gravies, sauces, basic breads, basic salads, etc.). This morning I whipped up a quick bowl of tuna salad to have for my lunch today. It's the best tuna salad I've ever made (and the healthiest), made with light mayo/nonfat yogurt, chopped tomatoes and green onions, cilantro, and lemon zest. There are hundreds of interesting entree recipes, mostly using ingredients you'll already have on your shelves. When "special" ingredients are called for, the book often gives a more common substitution - but do yourself a huge favor and stock your pantry with as many special ingredients as you can and keep your fridge stocked with lots of fresh produce. I've found that the key to success in lowfat cooking is to be prepared to jazz up recipes with spices and various bottled items without having to run to the grocery store. Also, keep citrus on hand - lemons and limes are called for in many heart-friendly recipes and completely transform some foods (like the lemon zest in the tuna salad). Some of the recipe introductions also tell you how you can use the leftovers in another recipe - Sweet-Spice Glazed Chicken can become Island Chicken Salad with Mint later in the week. For a busy Mom who doesn't want to always serve the same old boring meals to my family, those suggestions are helpful. It saves time hunting thru cookbooks and simplifies my grocery shopping. If you're serious about cooking more healthfully, you'll be happy you got this book!

Great healthy recipe ideas

This is a great cookbook for anyone wanting to maintain a healthy lifestyle...good, easy to follow instructions.

Start your new life here

My husband just had by-pass surgery. I needed to change the way we ate. Ours was an empty nest so there were a lot of meals out. I needed to start cooking again. There are tempting recipes for everyday as well as special days. I especially enjoyed the written sections about nutritional needs and ways to achieve a balanced diet. A good reference tool for what is good for you and what is not and the why's.

Good Food Easy To Follow

When I was recently diagnosed with high blood pressure. I went to the library to look for cookbooks with lower sodium recipes and I found the 6th edition of the cookbook. I found so many recipes that I ended up buying the 7th edition from Amazon.com. This book is awesome. You will be hard pressed to find a recipe that you DON'T want to try. When I sat down to look through it I found at least 6 recipes I wanted to try and that was only in the first 10 minutes of flipping through the book. It gives you tons of recipes that are easy to follow and don't require a trip to a gourmet grocery store. I tried the "fried" chicken recipe that used corn flakes for a coating and it was a huge hit with my husband and myself. I am so impressed that I have bought it for my parents. If you are looking for a healthy new way to eat in the new year pick up this cookbook you won't be disappointed. There are recipes for everything from snacks and dips to dessert. You can lose weight and keep your heart healthy without missing a thing. The only thing I found fault with is that the recipe list at the beginning of each chapter don't have page numbers so you have to flip through until you find the recipe, but is the only fault I found.
