Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly
Dietician Rondinelli and chef Bucko make cooking five healthy dinners a week—for an entire year—look like a no-brainer in this simple cookbook. They divide their book by month, and within each month, they give four weeks’ worth of main courses (presumably for dinner, though they could certainly make nice lunches). A grocery list begins each week, followed by the recipes, which generally fall under the "continental" umbrella, with Mediterranean, Latin, Asian and other influences. Although no dish requires more than four steps, and prep times range from 5 to 20 minutes per recipe, there are plenty of intriguing dinner options, such as Three-Pepper Pasta Salad with Goat Cheese, or Chicken with Portabello Tofu Sauce. Rondinelli and Bucko also feature one dessert for each month, which are the book’s weakest link, as they often take the easy way out: Cherry Tarts, for example, require canned "light" cherry pie topping. Sidebars give further information on ingredients and advice for alternate preparation methods, and every recipe includes the dish’s nutritional information.

    5.0 out of 5 stars This cookbook is a MUST for every household!, October 15, 2005
    My mother-in-law recently suffered a heart attack. Her doctor sent her home with dietary information, but she had difficulty using the information to develop daily menus. I ordered this book for her, and from the first day she found recipes that made sense, were easy to prepare, and better still, were tasty selections. She is able to plan her shopping trips so that she buys staples on a monthly basis, and perishables weekly. She has since lost 30 pounds (in 2 1/2 months), is now exercising regularly, and all of her friends want the book as well. We are ordering for our household, and will continue to refer people to this wonderful cookbook.

    5.0 out of 5 stars highly pleased, April 7, 2006
    I received this book in Feb., but started with the first week of recipes. Most of the meals have been good, some have been excellent. They seem to be right in line with low glycemic diet guidelines. Several meals that claim to serve 4 didn't serve 3. I have skipped some meals, but have tried several new herbs and vegs.

    One reservation--not everyone can tolerate chili, cumin, cayenne pepper, and other "hot" food items. Suggestions for alternate flavorings would have been nice.

    I intend to keep using this book to the end, and then start over again, with my own notes and reminders on each recipe I have already tried.
