5.0 out of 5 stars Cooking smart, October 24, 2008

By	Baby Joe (Reno, NV) - See all my reviews

This book has come in so handy since we have had to make lifestyle changes due to high cholesterol. The best thing about this book is that it uses pretty basic ingredients that you can find at any grocery store. Other books I have with low cholesterol recipes had odd ingredients that I just won't keep in stock normally. The recipes offered by the AHA cookbook identify with "real", everyday people making the lifestyle transition much easier than I originally thought. The final outcome: Palate tantalizing dishes appropriate for the whole family.

4.0 out of 5 stars GREAT recipes!, July 23, 2009

By	D. Byrne (Maryland, USA) - See all my reviews

My husband was put on a low-fat diet so I picked up this cookbook because I liked that it was by the American Heart Association. Every recipe I've made has been delicious! (with the exception of one dessert which was just okay, but low-fat desserts are tough) I will say though, that this cookbook can't be called quick and easy. As someone else mentioned, I have to plan in advance so I can pick up all the ingredients at the grocery store. You also have to make sure to allow plenty of time for cooking the meal. Nothing has been very fast, although it's nothing overly complicated for this basic chef.

All-in-all, I would recommend this cookbook to anyone trying to eat healthier as I think it's an easier transition when the food tastes good, and these recipes definitely do!

5.0 out of 5 stars Frank's Review of American Heart Assn 4th edition cookbook, June 30, 2009

By	Loves Food "sugar free eater" (Tampa, FL) - See all my reviews

As with the 3rd edition, the recipes are truly fantastic. For someone on a diabetic diet, this makes me a VERY happy camper.
