4.0 out of 5 stars Nice variety of recipes
This book had a nice mix of recipes, and some good ideas for substituting ingredients in some popular recipes such as brownies and cheesecake. Some recipes seemed too tasty to be low fat!

1.0 out of 5 stars Seafood Gumbo receipe was not kitchen tested
If you cook shrimp for over an hour, it will be tough and rubber-like. The shrimp in the above receipe should be added 10 minutes before serving!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Resource, May 3, 2001
This review is from: The American Cancer Society's Healthy Eating Cookbook: A Celebration of Food, Friends, and Healthy Living (Hardcover)
I purchased this book to support the American Cancer Society so I wasn't expecting it to be something I could necessarily use. I was pleased to find that in fact it is very good. Yes, as one of the other reviewers notes, it suggests cooking the shrimp too long in one recipe but the majority are solidly conceived and take everyday cooking to a more sophisticated and doable level. This book can be appreciated by beginners and experienced cooks. The recipes emphasize fresh, whole ingredients but occasionally use convenience foods like canned beans. The conversions charts are up-to-date, thorough and user-friendly. I did not need the celebrity pictures and their recipes, but it is nice to know they support a very important cause.
