 Great for a single person May 13, 2007

The majority of the recipes in this cookbook are single servings so if you are by yourself you won't over eat, but it is also easy to multiply the recipe to serve many others. It didn't forget the flavor in this healthy cookbook either, like so many other do!

This cookbook is good, but I like her other cookbook Fast Food Fix better than I do this one.
 Not really all that healthy April 12, 2007

Okay, this is a cute, fun, easy cookbook and some of the things are definitely yummy. However, I wouldn't live by it. It's okay to use if you are severely overweight if it will help you drop a few.
But if you're looking to maintain for life or just have a bunch of go to healthy recipes, a good portion of this book should be avoided.
For example, the banana creme breakfast thingy calls for artificially sweetened boston cream yogurt. We all know that aspartame is really bad for you and that splenda with its sugar alcohols can really upset your tummy. (If you have an onset of inexplicable gas -- I'd point to sucralose or maltitol as the culprits -- seriously, not fun) Second of all, it calls for low fat peanut butter. Peanuts are a high fat food..and peanut butter should contain...well...peanuts, right? So, if the fat is getting cut out..something else is getting put in - most likely chemicals or trans-fats like CORN SYRUP SOLIDS, FULLY HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OILS (RAPESEED AND SOYBEAN), MONO- AND DIGLYCERIDES (I pulled that directly from the label of low fat JIF). Mono/diglycerides are animal derived and are used to emulsify and frankly, have too many syllables to be a chemical I want to consume frequently.

This cookbook is really nice because the recipes are from the contestants that were on the show. They write ideas and thoughts in each recipe. It also gives other tips and shows each person in the front of the book. I have made a few recipes from the cookbook and they were easy to make and delicious.

The recipes seem to repeat themselves and don't have a great variety among them. When eating healthy, I try to find a variety of tastes in recipes and this book didn't seem to have them. Great on desert ideas though. And the recipes are simple enough. I do prefer the Light and Tasty recipes or Quick and Easy recipes better.
