Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
So I bought this book, excited that there was finally a product out there for clean eaters that had quick and easy to make recipes. After looking through this book, it is clear that this book is not that book.

My observations -

* Almost all of the recipes have 10 or more ingredients - if I'm chopping up something or frying this and mixing together that - it takes me far more than 30 minutes to pull all of that together. I don't cook at top speed like I'm a Top Chef contestant.

* There is a lot of reliance on whole grain tortilla chips and pita chips in the appetizer section. I personally don't think these qualify as "clean eating" - why not give us a good substitute for these processed foods? Just because it's "whole grain" doesn't mean its good for our bodies.

* She uses corn tortillas and whole wheat pasta in quite a few recipes - same complaint as above - why are there so many recipes relying on these processed foods?

* While it says "most recipes take just 30 minutes or less" I'm not quite sure where that claim is coming from - from my review of the book, a few recipes take 30 minutes or less (and I'm suspicious of even those) and the rest take an hour or more.

I was excited to get this book, but it was such a let down. I can save you some money and frustration by telling you to just buy regular cookbook and substitute whole wheat and low-fat ingredients for the regular ones.

5.0 out of 5 stars Delicious, full of new information! November 9, 2012
By Lammie
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I love trying these recipes. They are easy to prepare but they also introduce me to foods that are new to me and to some preparation techniques which I did not know. My family has enjoyed these new approaches to some old favorites and I feel like I am a more accomplished cook. There are recipes which appeal to kids too and many of these entrees add a real sophistication and pizazz to my menus. This will make a good gift!
