I bought this thinking it would be great, but I was sorely mistaken. 150 pages are taken up with diet book mubo-jumbo. I wanted a cookbook, not a speech on healthy living. I already live healthy, that's why I wanted a good COOKbook - not diet regime. Don't waste your money on this if you are only looking for recipes like I was.

well I don't now what to say I just love this book I boughted in my local book store and it is so great. I have a mexican husban and I used to have no idea how to prepare latin food but this book really helped me .I hope you enyoyed to as much as I have . Besaides maria dolores is a great writter and a fabollus chef.It's really worth it.

Latina Lite Cooking: 200 Delicious Lowfat Recipes from All Over the Americas - With Special Selections on Nutrition and Weight LossMy mom did not inherit the Latin Cooking gene. She made up for it by giving me this book 10 years ago. It has all your favorite Latin dishes ranging from Cuba, Mexico, to Nicarguan, Gallo Pinto. All the flavor of tradition but without the fat and calories. In addition the author shares wonderful tips and stories about growing up in a Latin family where food is central. Her diet substitutes are wonderful and the cook book is NOT just a cook book, she offers a great Meal Plan for weight loss... it is like combination cook book, novel, and weight loss book. My family and friends borrowed it so often, that I purchased a book for each one of them. Now they have their own Latina Lite Cooking book. It is a great gift and a staple for every family that loves Latin food.

Book was delivered promptly and have really enjoyed it. It is suppose to be a "light" cook book but all I want to do is cook, eat, cook, eat. Will need to limit myself - all in moderation.
