More About the Author
Cherie Calbom is passionate about health and healing because she healed her body from debilitating chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyaligia by designing a her own fresh veggie juice and whole foods diet plan. She was so amazed at how her health turned around that she went to graduate school and earned a Master of Science degree in whole foods nutrition from Bastyr University so that she could be a credible source of information. Before she had graduated from Bastyr, the owners of the Juiceman company hired her to write a little booklet for their juicer. One thing led to another and she became "The Juice Lady." Her first book, Juicing for Life, was an international best-seller. It's now available in her third edition as The Juice Lady's Guide to Juicing for Health. Then she learned about the amazing health benefits of virgin coconut oil. She wrote about it in The Coconut Diet. Cherie is a raw foods chef who makes green smoothies and fresh juice every day for herself and her husband. Even her dog Annie, the Schnauzer, benefits with homemade meals of veggies, meat, and brown rice. You can sign up for Cherie's free monthly newsletter at www.juiceladyinfo.com.

5.0 out of 5 stars
it's about time,
By lisa b. kauffman (missoula, montana USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Healthy Gourmet: More Than 200 Nutritionally Based, Fat-Reduced Recipes for the Whole Family (Paperback)
After being inundated by low-fat, no fat, no salt, no taste, vegetarian, whole foods, sugar busting and optimal health, it was finally nice to read a sane cookbook with easy to make, tasty, interesting, simple healthy foods . Even my 18 month old likes just about everything in here and I have made almost everything. Eagerly waiting another cookbook by same author.

Everyday Ingredients for Healthy Cooking,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Healthy Gourmet: More Than 200 Nutritionally Based, Fat-Reduced Recipes for the Whole Family (Paperback)
Good cookbook for someone looking to change the way they eat. The ingredients used are what many people would already find in their cupboards. I bought it for the George Foreman Grill recipes and was disappointed -- the only two recipes in the book specifically for the grill were already in the cookbood that came with the grill! Many of the recipes could be adapted for the grill, however, I was not looking to do that much work. Even though it didn't meet my need for purchasing it, this book was a good read and I'm looking forward to trying more of the recipes.

Still a "go to" cookbook in my kitchen after 5 years,

This review is from: The Healthy Gourmet: More Than 200 Nutritionally Based, Fat-Reduced Recipes for the Whole Family (Paperback)
I've had this book for 5 years. That alone is telling. I don't have much tolerance for keeping things around that aren't useful.
I'm not one to cook through an entire book, but paging through and checking my notes, I've prepared about 30% of the recipes in the time I've had this cookbook. Not only that, but I've enjoyed them enough to give many a repeat performance. There is only one recipe that has a negative note for being a little too heavily spiced for my taste, but that's easy to work around. I enjoy the fact that Cherie makes healthy eating very accessible by calling for ingredients that can be found in a well-stocked grocery store. These recipes are not likely to bust your budget either. My family (husband, toddler, 4-year-old) will eat these recipes without complaining. In fact I think the more I use it and similar recipes it is setting them up to enjoy the taste of real food. I enjoy Cherie's preludes to recipes giving some of attributes of ingredients in the dish. Often we're given thousands of healthy recipes but no indication what makes them healthy, or we are inundated with information about individual ingredients with no clues on how to really enjoy them. Cherie bridges that information gap nicely with this book of knowledge AND practical application for everyday meals. I wish Cherie would provide more nutritional information than she does, like grams of fiber and protein, in the nutritional information breakdown. Also, dividing a large stew recipe by 4 or 6 when counting calories is no easy task, so approximating serving sizes (1 1/2 cups for instance) would have been helpful. Otherwise I would have given it 5 stars. I wish Cherie would produce another cookbook like this. I'd love another 200 of her recipes. A cookbook this reliable and used is rare. If you are looking for an easy way to start eating healthier - check it out.
