5.0 out of 5 stars Low-fat & low-calorie, easy delicious recipes, August 8, 1999

This review is from: Not Just Cheesecake: A Yogurt Cheese Cookbook (Paperback)

This is a wonderful cookbook featuring delicious & nutritious recipes. Most recipes are easy-to-make & use common ingredients. All are low in fat with no recipe containing more than 4 grams per serving.

The author starts out by explaining the miracle of yogurt cheese & how to make it. She also discusses other ingredients & how to make the recipes even healthier. Nutrition information is provided along with dietetic exchanges.

Recipes include dips, spreads, appetizers, salads, dressings, snacks, chilled soups, & breads. Many varieties of cheesecake, cookies, cakes, pies, puddings, frostings, & fondues are also included.

There are even recipes for many flavors of frozen yogurt that only require a blender. Some of my favorites are the crescents, soft pretzels, & no-cook cucumber soup. I also enjoyed the scrumptious oatmeal kiss cookies.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow - unbelievably great stuff, May 24, 2004

This review is from: Not Just Cheesecake: A Yogurt Cheese Cookbook (Paperback)

I just finished making the Banana Cheesecake, and it's possibly the best dessert I've ever eaten - and only 130 calories! This book has some really great recipes, from wonderful spinach dips to salad dressings to various desserts; yogurt cheese is truly an amazing food - I've never eaten better and I'm losing all kinds of weight! Draining the whey reduces the tartness of the yogurt a great deal - the cheesecakes do not taste like gobs of yogurt (not that there's anything wrong with that) but taste like a lighter version of regular cheesecake. Not to mention the very high calcium and protein content - everyone who loves to cook (and eat!) needs to explore yogurt cheese, and I highly suggest this book along with the Goldbeck's "Eat Well the YoChee Way."

I've tried a few of the recipes so far and they are all great! Especially the cheesecake. I made the basic cheesecake and topped it with a little sugar-free orange marmalade. It was delicious!
