In skimming the book through the eyes of someone who just had quadruple bypass surgery I was furious. I did not eat foods that cheese rich before I was diagnosed w/CAD. Beef, "Low-Fat" Cheese, Turkey Bacon and sour Cream do not belong on anyone's shelf who would buy this book based on it's title. Who did the nutrtional breakdown (ie Fat %), I find it questionable. As a pharmacist I do have some nutritional savy, the author obviously has none!

I got this cookbook as a wedding shower gift. I'm not much of a cook, so I thumbed through it and thought most of it looked too complicated. But over the last few years, I have tried most of the recipes in the book, and my husband and I have loved them. And they really are quite easy, especially the ones labeled "Super Quick." The pasta section is probably our favorite.

I use a recipe from this cookbook at least once or twice a week, and I know that I am cooking something healthy and great tasting for my family. Get your hands on one!

After a heart attack in the family, I purchased this cookbook. I carry it with me to the store at all times and we have had great fun with these delicious easy meals!

I work long hours and get home too late to eat a late dinner and maintain fitness....so I make one of this book's recipes on the weekend, take it to work, and have a nutritious tasty honest-to-goodness meal instead of fast food. Great! And one of the things I like the most is the opportunity the recipes give you to improvise and it offers substitution selections for those on very strict diets. This allows the use of items more popular in different seasons and changing moods of taste. Most meals actually do contain veggies, a main course, and long grain rice or couscous....all in one. The preparation is simple and the ingredients easy to find in any grocery store. I just don't have the time to get into "gourmet" details.
