 Exceptionally good food, well written book January 19, 2008

This book is excellent! It's been 4 years since I bought it while pregnant. I STILL use it. That's testimony to a great cookbook (and I have many cookbooks). The recipes are well written, very straightforward and uncomplicated. The food is healthy and ideal for someone who is used to *good* food rather than processed food. Previous comments about these recipes not being healthy is way off-base. Yes, there's fat and carbs -- but in moderation that's part of what a pregnant women needs to stay healthy. Eating meals made from this book is a hundred times more healthy than what the average American eats daily. Plus, it's REAL food. Some of my favorites: Quick Chicken with Pesto and Mozzarella; Roast Cod with Lentils, Red Bell Pepper and Salsa Verde (great for company too); Winter Veg Casserole with Horseradish Dumplings, Light Lemon Pudding. The authors are helpful in providing ideas for variation of recipes and nutritional details.
 Not even healthy! September 20, 2007
I received this book and was shocked that the recipes aren't even healthy! They use butter, sugar, flour, etc. I guess they mean healthy compared to fast food?
Recipes are so-so!!!! May 2, 2005

I bought this book when I was pregnant hoping that it would help me eat right. While the recipes might be healthy, the actual recipes itself aren't too tasty. Also, the pictures don't do it justice. I think I found about three recipes that I actually liked in this book. And these three recipes weren't super great. The times I did make them, I made them mostly since they were healthy and not so much for taste. For me, this wasn't the best book of recipes for pregnant women and if I had done it again, I probably wouldn't have purchased this book. My advice for anyone looking to buy this book is that you should go to a bookstore and look through it. That way you can see for yourself whether you would really like the recipes in this book and if this is something you would really want.
