I have extremely high cholesterol hereditarily. When my doctor and I decided one last try at getting it down through diet, my husband grimaced. (I had been put on straight tuna once and he wasn't looking forward to this!) When I made the first meal from this book, all he could say was, "Wow, it actually tastes wonderful!" But, when I made the chocolate chip cookies, he actually said they were the best he's ever had! We have now made several of the recipes, including the homemade tortilla chips, and have loved each one. This is my FAVORITE low-fat cookbook ever! I just wish they'd come out with another one.

Most low-fat cookbooks contain lots and lots of recipes of food you'd never actually eat. And if you would try it, your kids definitely wouldn't. I like this one, because it has great recipes that even your kids will eat. It also has a basic primer in the front about nutrition and losing weight. Maybe I should get this one out again and review it!

Delicious recipes, and easy recipes. There are enough ingredients to make the recipes interesting and not all one flavor, but not so many that it's a pain to grocery shop for. My husband likes lots of flavor - salt, cream, etc. and he still really liked the recipes despite taking out some of the sodium and calories. Oh, and there are also some sections with pointers or ideas for low-fat snacks and tips on low-fat grocery shopping that are great.
