5.0 out of 5 stars Have used so often the book is falling apart!, June 4, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Healthy Homestyle Cooking (Paperback)

I bought this book about four years ago and have made many of the recipes. Most are relatively easy and fast (especially the chapter on one-dish meals), and although some ingredients you have to look a little harder to find most are available and a lot are things you probably already have on hand. The Chicken Enchiladas and Garden Vegetable Pizza have become standard family favorites and when served to guests I am often asked for the recipes. Oh, and did I mention that the recipies are low fat? I often forget because they taste so good. So happy that she is coming out with another cookbook - I will be one of the first to buy it!

5.0 out of 5 stars The cookbook used most often in my kitchen, November 1, 2000

This review is from: Healthy Homestyle Cooking (Paperback)

Time and again I turn to this cookbook to help me decide what to cook for dinner; it is a gem! There is such a wide variety of dishes that are quick, easy, and tasty. The best thing of all, however, is knowing that they are low in fat. I couldn't live without this book! I love to cook the Greek Penne (adding kalamata olives which increases the fat content, but is oh so yummy) when having guests over because it is delicious, easy, and colorful; everyone asks me for the recipe! This book is a great addition to any cook's library!

This review is from: Healthy Homestyle Cooking : 200 of Your Favorite Family Recipes-With a Fraction of the Fat (Hardcover)

I tried about five of the recipes in this book during the Thanskgivng holiday. My entire family loved them! In fact, my mother and mother-in-law ask me to give them this cookbook as a Christmas gift. This cookbook taught me that "fraction of the fat" does not mean "fraction of the flavor."
