FABULOUS LO-CARB CUISINE was a finalist for the Excellence in Independent Publishing Award of the MidAtlantic Publishers Association.

Ruth's first cookbook, DON'T TELL 'EM IT'S GOOD FOR 'EM (written with Nancy Baggett and Gloria Kaufer Greene), was ahead of its time in implementing low-fat nutritional guidelines and was nominated for a Tastemaker Award. SKINNY SOUPS, also written with Nancy Baggett, was a bestseller for Surrey Books. Ruth's skill in combining delicious recipes with an innovative, health-conscious approach to cooking is showcased in 100% PLEASURE, written with Nancy Baggett (Rodale Press). With almost 150,000 copies in print, it was named as one of the 12 best cookbooks of 1994 by USA Today.

In addition to her non-fiction, Ruth has written over 100 novels. Most of her fiction has been written
under the pseudonym Rebecca York, but early in her career she co-authored books using several other
pseudonyms, including Alyssa Howard, Alexis Hill, Alexis Hill Jordan, Tess Marlowe, Samantha Chase, and
Amanda Lee. She also co-authored several juvenile books under her own name.

Ruth has done numerous TV/radio interviews and cooking demonstrations and is profiled in Contemporary Authors, Who's Who of American Women, and Who's Who in America. She holds a B.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent recipes but be careful, December 29, 2006

This review is from: Snack Attack!: Over 150 Guilt-free Treats for Healthy Munching (Paperback)

I recently ordered this book along with The Diabetes Snack Munch Nibble Nosh Book and to my surprise when I read through them they are exactly the same book under a different publisher and cover. The recipes look wonderful and I know for a fact that the Pumpkin muffins are wonderful. I was very disappointed to find that I had ordered the same book and frustrated that I now have to return one.

This review is from: Snack Attack!: Over 150 Guilt-free Treats for Healthy Munching (Paperback)

Ruth Glick has put together a book of great ideas for a healthy snack. Some are so simple, can't believe I haven't tried them before. Many can serve as a meal in themselves. Yes, some take a little more effort than you feel like some days for a snack, but they are well worth it. Can't wait to make more of the recipes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Recommended both for health libraries and diabetics., February 8, 2007

By 

Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Snack Attack!: Over 150 Guilt-free Treats for Healthy Munching (Paperback)

The problem with snacks which are good for you is they seldom taste good as those not so good, and are usually more time-consuming to prepare. That's why SNACK ATTACK helps on so many levels: it offers speedy tasty snacks for adults and kids alike, pairing recipes with nutritional analysis for quick choices. From pumpkin pie-spiced Hawaiian Meatballs to Bean and Pasta Soup with Sausage, dishes have been modified for healthy results and offer plenty of easy alternatives to less desirable foods. Recommended both for health libraries and diabetics.
