A VERY SPECIAL COOKBOOK! October 4, 2008
I own a lot of cookbooks - recipes from all over the world. But this is the one, when I want a delicious dish which doesn't take a great deal of time to make, I turn to again and again. The recipes are created with a lot of health-consciousness without sacrificing aesthetic standards for excellent culinary art.
There are also informative sidebars on ingredients, i.e., barley, garlic, potatoes, etc., called "To Your Health," "Encore," (what to do with leftovers) and "Take It Along" (how to pack and serve certain items on outings).
After I try a new recipe, I usually note on the cookbook page my rating of it. Recipes in this book have consistently high ratings, and my special favorite is "Fish, Potato and Vegetable Stew". This is made with cod, haddock or other mild white fish fillets. It is a real treat.
When I don't want to go wrong, this is the book I turn to. When I want something that is a real winner, likewise.
I highly recommend it!
My Favorite Cook book December 30, 2006

I have had this cookbook since Prevention first published it. Although I have many cookbooks, this one is my absolute all-time favorite for quick, healthy, delicious meals. Every week, when I plan my meals, I use at least 3 out of this book. I can't say enough good about it. The food is low fat, healthful, easy and quick to prepare and doesn't require alot of exotic ingredients. In fact there is a list in the introduction of the basic foods you need to have on hand to prepare the dishes in the books. There are even suggestions on the side for the use of leftovers. Get this one! I'm getting another for my daughter.
One of my most-often used cookbooks! May 16, 2004

My husband and I both love to cook, and we have about six dozen cookbooks representing a wide range of cuisines. Yet I keep coming back to this one cookbook again and again. I've had it for about five years, I think, and probably a month hasn't gone by that I haven't cooked at least a few recipes out of it -- which I can't say for most of our cookbooks. The meals are generally pretty easy to prepare; very few of the recipes require any special equipment or techniques that would throw off the beginner. There's a nice variety, with at least a few real "keepers" in every category (e.g., soups, sandwiches, stir-fries, meat-and-potatoes, etc.). I especially like the fact that they give nutritional information for each dish, although I wish they included fiber (and sorry folks, no carb counting). The dishes are lower in fat and lower in calories than usual, and yet they don't require a lot of silly, time-consuming techniques to do so. Also, many recipes have sidebars with hints about variations on the recipe, or how to use the leftovers to make a new dish. The one thing I find a little annoying -- or more, amusing -- is that some of the pictures do NOT look like the finished dishes. The funniest one is the recipe for microwave polenta: the picture clearly shows *grill marks* on the polenta, yet the recipe never involves an oven or broiler, much less a grill. But the important thing is that the recipes come out tasting good. My two favorites are Moroccan Chicken and Indonesian Rice with Chicken. The only recipe that really bombed (and we've probably tried 80% of them by now) was the Javanese Tempeh Curry. But the picture looks so delicious... haha. Buy this book while you still can; I'm planning to buy all the used copies I can find to give to all my friends and relatives.

This cookbook is great for those of us who are busy, but who want healthful and tasty meals. The dishes are quick and easy to prepare and use common pantry items. The nutritional content is provided for each recipe, which is great if you are watching your calorie or fat (or any other) intake. Another feature I like is a "To Your Health" box that provides interesting and pertinent nutritional information about some of the ingredients used in the recipe. I rented this from the library but plan on purchasing it--even though it is out of print now!
