5.0 out of 5 stars MUST HAVE! September 18, 2012

By Megh

Format:Paperback

Tonight I made the smothered chicken. So simple, but so delicious! I will owe Holly big for my cooking skills one day. Going on 4 years that I've been cooking from her books! As a medical student, most of my time is spent sitting at a desk studying, so I'm always looking for ways to cut calories, while still eating all the required nutrients (and more importantly, enjoy eating it!) Most healthy recipes require you to buy some obscure, expensive ingredient. Holly's recipes are normal, everyday ingredients, and I can't express how thankful I am to have them to use as guidance. I feel like there is a great need for people to be enlightened about better eating habits. It is never too late to learn! I hope to somehow incorporate nutritional education into my medical practice, no matter what speciality I end up in. Thank you, Holly, for your efforts to teach people like me. Your efforts reach further than you probably realize!

5.0 out of 5 stars Loving Holly's Newest Title! August 31, 2012

By Anne Pritchard

Format:Paperback

In true Holly Clegg Style, her newest KITCHEN 101 delivers...and then some!

The perfect title for a first timer, with plenty of kitchen helps and tips, but also for the experienced cook as well.

Holly offers up 150 new recipes that are healthy, with a great variety of ingredients to tempt any palate, but most importantly super easy to prepare. At this "season of my life" these are my main qualifications for the kind of cooking I am willing to do. (Empty Nester Syndrome - and Loving It!)

I made the EASY ROAST out of the "Crock Pot Convenience" section the other night and it was a huge hit! Great flavors, and oh so tender....it gets a 5-star-rating in my recipe "keeper" file.

Next, I'm making the SWEET POTATO CHILI (out of same section) which has a hot/sweet combo going on that I so adore.

This is my new "go-to-cookbook" for all the brides in my life - in fact I have a wedding this weekend which I'm slipping a copy into the gift as we speak!

Can't wait to try offerings from all her chapters, so check back as I'll be updating this review with the results of other recipes I prepare.

Go Holly - and thanks for keep it "trim&TERRIFIC" !
