4.0 out of 5 stars
This is a great book,
By Just getting started (Ceres, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: American Heart Association Quick & Easy Cookbook: More Than 200 Healthful Recipes You Can Make in Minutes (Paperback)
I have to give it 4 stars because it doesn't have any pictures. I am basically a picture person - I like to see what the end result should look like. I have tried other low fat cook books before and have been alittle disappointed with them all. I found only a few recipes that I ended up liking and still occasionally use. I tried have tried 5 recipes from this book so far, and so far they have been very good. The recipes have plenty of seasoning in them so they don't taste bland. And some of the recipes are common sense ones that use the old rule of substitution ie - instead of oil use apple sauce, instead of sour cream use fat free yogurt etc. In any case this book is definately a good buy at a good price. I would definately recommend it.

Get this book before you need it!,

This review is from: American Heart Association Quick & Easy Cookbook: More Than 200 Healthful Recipes You Can Make in Minutes (Paperback)
My young husband had a heart a attack and with a new baby we have plenty of motivation to eat heart healthy. Someone bought this book for us and we cook from it every night. The recipies are easy, with few, easily found ingredients and tasty too. We are buying them for all of our family for Christmas - last year we sent them steaks!

good recipes but no pictures,

This review is from: American Heart Association Quick & Easy Cookbook: More Than 200 Healthful Recipes You Can Make in Minutes (Paperback)
These recipes are great and healthful. The lack of pictures is a negative. It would be nice to see how the finished dish is supposed to look.
In addition, the nutritional breakdown is nice, but the book does not tell you what constitutes a serving size so that makes knowing the number of calories/fat/carbs useless.
