So another year another time at attempting to eat right. I saw Good Morning America when Sara was tempting Charlie and Diane with the different dishes. So I thought I would give the book a shot. It is the absolute best cookbook I have. My kids and my husband love the food that I have made so far. I am dropping the pounds and we are all eating healthier. Most important rule of this cookbook was that the food had to taste good. Try the grand prize winner Chicken and Andouille Sausage it is the best.

Sara Molton is a cook for everyone. She breaks it all down, and makes it so easy for an average person to get into the kitchen and create. She's wonderfully talented and such a great people person. Her receipes are fun, healthy and really easy to follow. And, she knows that average people want to make healthy receipes that are tasty too. She's a great resource and her TV shows on the FOODNetwork, are top notch. I recommend this book for everyone that loves to cook, and for those just starting out.

I'm a huge cooking fan. I'm a huge food fan. And I'm a huge Sara Moulton fan.

So I almost fell over when I saw that not only was Ms. Moulton editing a cookbook, but she was going to be at a booksigning in my town. But I digress.

There I got to try a few of the cookies that were in the book, which was nice. As soon as I got home, I made the lemon meringue cookies, which I still make @ least weekly - they're incredibly easy, really really good, and low cal. Does it get any better?

Also, I enjoyed reading this cookbook. It was interesting to read about the people who submitted their recipes, as well as the stories behind them. All in all, a very good find.

An OK cookbook. There are others I liked much better. All the Weight Watcher cookbooks for example. Most likely I will only cook only a few of the recipes in this cookbook.

As co-editor of THE GOOD MORNING AMERICA CUT THE CALORIES COOKBOOK, I'd just like to say that Sara Moulton is a joy to work with, the consumate professional-- knowledgeable, decisive, cooperative and upbeat always. She hopes to be writing her own cookbook soon-- look for it a couple years down the line. Meanwhile, please check out two books of my own (which, incidentally, are two of Sara's favorites): THE NEW DOUBLEDAY COOKBOOK (big and basic) and THE AMERICAN CENTURY COOKBOOK (a culinary nostalgia trip through the 20th century with more than 500 of that century's most beloved recipes). jean anderson
