My husband and I are really enjoying this cookbook. The recipes are diverse, healthy and include all food groups. Some recipes take time to make, but one breakfast recipe provided breakfast (for two) for 4 days! Just set some time aside on a Sunday night, and you can have most of your breakfasts and snacks made for the week. We would highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a healthy and well-balanced diet.
Awesome and Easy! December 7, 2007

This is the best diet I've ever tried. There were no food groups I had to cut out of my life or deprive myself of. You eat all the time, you just have to make smarter choices and the pounds just fall off!
 Good Choice! December 1, 2007
Lots of good recipes . . . food tastes great and the book is very user friendly.
Finally, a guide to how eating should be! November 7, 2007
Tosca talks about the method of healthy living that fitness people have been using for decades. This is a bood FULL of great recipes that I can't wait to get through. There is a variety so you'll never get bored. It's a great companion to the Eat Clean Diet.

At first glance this book might not seem that different from other good healthful eating cookbooks, such as "EatingWell Serves Two" and its ilk. They all contain plenty of recipes with lean meats, whole grains, etc. They all contain great helpful hints to assist you through understanding how to work with healthy foods, how to make them interesting, etc. They all contain some nice photographs to make the food seem alluring and yummy.
However, to me there's one key difference. Tosca Reno's recipes aren't bland.
I'm well aware that there's a sizable contingent of people out there who want their diet food to resemble bland, "normal" American fare as much as possible; I'm not going to mark down a book for catering to that crowd, even though I don't personally enjoy that approach.
However, I'm certainly happy to sing the praises of a book that finally satisfies my desire for flavorful, creative diet food. I know it can be done, and it's my feeling that part of the reason a lot of people think diet food sucks is because they want flavorful food and most diet books cater to the safe, bland crowd. Well, Tosca Reno is one health and fitness advocate who doesn't seem to believe in that.
One of the recipes we tried from this book was a stuffed pumpkin recipe that involved things like ground bison and wild rice. It was incredibly delicious, even as leftovers---one of those recipes that don't taste like diet food at all (and that's the way it should be!).
Another was a breakfast burrito that wowed us so much that we use variations on it regularly now as a savory break from hot breakfast cereal.
There's a white bean tuna spread that I like as much as standard tuna salad (and it's a lot healthier!), and a couscous salad with chevre, oregano, and vegetables that's out of this world.
If you're the kind of person who finds most healthy or diet cookbooks to be bland and underwhelming, then I suggest you try this one instead. It challenges your creativity, suggests ways to work with unusual ingredients, and provides all the flavor those other books are missing!
