 I Love Ellie! January 23, 2008

I love Ellie and I love her new cookbook. The recipes (each with nutritional data) are delicious, creative, healthful, global, easy, beautiful and, most importantly, they work! Sure, they're healthy, but they are yummy first and foremost...the healthy part seems secondary. Includes lots of tips on making your own recipes more healthful. Don't be turned off from this book thinking it's some kind of diet cookbook or yet another gimmicky book from a Food Network star...it's not. Ellie is knowledgeable, unpretentious, talented and passionate about what she does and it shows. Wonderful cookbook! Wonderful author! Highly recommend it!
Ellie does it again! January 22, 2008

I have been waiting for this book to come out since it was announced last year. It was well worth the wait. Just like her first book and show on food network, Ellie provides us with credible information and healthy recipes.
A few things I love about this book:
-All of the recipes prepared on her show are included in this book. This is especially important to me because I have been collecting them. My personal favorite are the Pumpkin Muffins.
-Ellie has included a story about each recipe. I have never seen this done in a cookbook and I love it. I enjoy the story about her daughter playing food network.
-It includes comfort foods made healthy. I am excited about making the Mac N Cheese.
If you enjoy Ellie's show and previous book, this cookbook is a must buy!
The real deal January 21, 2008
18 out of 18 found this review helpful
This is a great addition to my cookbook library. Ellie is one of the FEW real people on the Food Network ( a BIG nod to Ina Garten as well) and she is the real deal! In brilliantly written recipes and headnotes, she teaches the cook how to eat healthy,discarding the ersatz,the fat free and the fake. She uses real food in novel ways. Some of the stunning recipes I loved so far were the white gazpacho(yes,even in January),the asian summer rolls and ALL of the salads. Ellie shines a bright beam of well needed common sense and delectability aimed at anyone who wants to lead a healthy life.
Long term weight goal success January 21, 2008
15 out of 16 found this review helpful
I have been dieting or eating unhealthy with alternate success for many years. Ever since I started incorporating Ellie's recipes into my daily meals - things changed... I keep on loosing pound after pound and I don't feel deprived or feel that I am on a diet. Things also changed for my husband, who only liked burgers and fries, pizza and apples pie and many other unhealthy foods. He now eats Ellie's energy bars and loves them! Ellie's recipes will not leave you deprived, they don't taste like "diet" food and because of it you won't be tempted to eat unhealthy foods thus ensuring the long term success. Ellie does not say there are foods you should never eat: she says that there are foods that you should eat often, sometimes and rarely rather than never. It is very healthy attitude based on demands of real people with real cravings for all kinds of food. The recipes are very easy to prepare and taste great and because she is a nutritionist, she ensures that you get plenty of things that are good for you. The book is well laid out, very easy to read, not cluttered with small text, has large photographs and many helpful tips. I met Ellie at one of her book signings and she said that she was able to share a lot more health information in the book than in her food network show, because she is simply limited in time to give all the tips that she would like. So if you want to lose weight, and improve the quality of your life and stick with it for the rest of your life - please buy this book. And also "Small changes big results" which is a wonderful book as well : ) Good luck!
