 AVOID this one September 15, 2008

Author Tosca Reno is married to the the publisher, owner of the notorious Robert Kennedy Publishing empire. Instead of just putting out 1 or even 2 volumes with all the info you need, they have created an "Eat Clean Diet" juggernaut, pumping out endless books rehashing the same info and filling up page space with tons of glossy, magazine-style pictures instead of condensing it down to just solid info, with a few illustrations. She says in no less than SIX BOOKS what could have been condensed into 1 or 2 at most - with more on the way!!!! There are now 2 versions of the original Eat Clean Diet book alone, plus a journal, a workout book, this cookbook, a "families and kids" book - and she's currently writing "The Eat Clean Diet for Men"! All of these are relentlessly hyped online, and in the couple's various magazines. Give me a break.
This "expanded edition" is totally unfair to all the customers who bought the original version, which has 90% identical info, with just a few extra sections added. She could have simply marketed a cheaper supplement to the original book, for her existing customers, instead of reaming them for full price again. GREEDY.
If you are an Oxygen or Clean Eating magazine reader (yes, both published by her husband), you'll have ALL the recipes you need within a few issues. Seriously. Don't waste your money on products from this exploitive publishing empire.
Instead, Google "Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle" by Tom Venuto. It's a single volume, COMPREHENSIVE downloadable e-book, with nothing but solid info - no superficial fluff, no illustrations, inspiring, easy to follow and implement. It's ONE BOOK containing the EXACT SAME INFO as Tosca is putting out in multiple books. You pay once, and that's it. You have all the info you need.
PLEASE DO NOT GET SUCKERED INTO MAKING THIS WOMAN AND HER PUBLISHER HUSBAND RICHER THAN THEY ALREADY ARE.
 Great Recipes September 10, 2008

This book has a lot of great recipes for making otherwise boring and tasteless food appealing both to the eye and to the taste buds. It's great because it's all healthy for you to eat. I've tried a few recipes so far and my husband and I have liked all of them. Some of the ingredients may be hard to find for some dishes. I like a one stop shopping experience for groceries and some of the ingrdients aren't carried by my local Kroger. I do live in a smaller city so for the bigger stores you may have a better chance of finding speciality ingredients. The only thing that would make this book better is if there were alternatives listed for some of the speciality ingredients that can prove hard to find in small town USA.

I was checking out another book in this series that was recommended by a relative (she finds clean eating helps tame her food sensitivities)when I came across this one. I lovvvve it!! It's an easy read for any age group --kids and adults alike! Lots of pictures ...I also like how Tosca addresses the growing concern about obesity in North American kids today and offers some healthy alternatives. Great recipe ideas too!!

Great cookbook with very delicious recipes. Recipes are not too complicated or time consuming. This cookbook hasn't left my kitchen since I bought it.

My family and I have really enjoyed trying the recipes in this book. It doesn't seem to be much of a diet book, but more of a great cookbook that sends you in the right direction to eat right with lots of flavor. Yum!!
