Customer Reviews

Very Helpful for Families!
I bought this book recently and love it! As the mother of three kids, I find that the recipes are just right--it's not crazy low-fat which wouldn't be good for the kids, but it's healthy enough for me and my husband who want to lose a little poundage. And, dare I say it aloud, but since we've been cooking from it I think I even dropped a pound or two, and I haven't felt hungry!

Whole Grain, High Fiber and It Actually Taste Good To Boot!
Finally a healthy cookbook with recipes that actually taste good! I am sick of bland cardboard muffins and cookies. This cookbook uses whole grains and tons of veggies and fruits to create flavorful foods that everyone can enjoy. My top pick (so far) is the Cabbage and Chicken Salad with Peanut Dressing. WOW! Full of flavor!

High fiber, high fat!
I bought this book looking for a healthy, high fiber cookbook. There are a lot of recipes that have an alarming amount of fat! Chicken Salad Bake: 74.3 grams of fat and almost 1,000 calories per serving! I think the fat and calories would offset the benefit of the fiber!!
