Best Cookbook I own!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Looneyspoons: Low-Fat Food Made Fun! (Paperback)
Someone gave this book to me a gift and I have to say I thought it was too cutesy and childish for a "serious" cook like myself (although, I don't cook that much I thought that when I did get around to cooking I better be serious and go with Martha Stuart). In truth, Martha is probably why I hate cooking -- the recipes take hours, you can rarely find all of the ingredients and the dish never comes out looking just right! Looney Spoons has showed me how fun and easy cooking can be and I love to cook now. I can make great low-fat meals in no time; this is by far the best cookbook I've ever had. The authors are really funny and the recipes taste great. They do a lot with spices which is something I've never experimented too much with before... HIGH APPLAUDES TO THE AUTHORS FOR SUCH AN AMAZING COOKBOOK!

I have lost 73 pounds, and am still going!,

This review is from: Looneyspoons: Low-fat Food Made Fun! (Mass Market Paperback)
This book, and its companion Crazy Plates, are fantastic. Partly with the help of these two books, I have been able to lose 73 pounds since last Christmas (OK, I had a lot to lose! :)) The recipes are more delicious than I thought possible - even preferable to "regular" recipies!My favorite from this book is the outstanding breakfast omelette recipe. It tastes great, and is extremely simple to make. I could not believe how much of this dish I could eat and still stay legal! A nice feature of the book is that every recipe has the fat and calorie information listed clearly at the bottom by portion. Take it from a big eater, the portions are generous. We have even lowered the fat and calorie content of several of the dishes in the book ourselves, substituting things like fat free chicken broth instead of standard chicken broth, I Can't Believe It's Not Butter Free for butter, egg substitutes for eggs, and black tiger shrimp (less fat and calories) for regular pink shrimp. Even though I have lost 73 pounds, I have a good bit more to go, with maintenance after that. This book will have a welcome place in our kitchen for years to come!

Low in fat - loaded with fun - the best cookbook I own!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Looneyspoons: Low-Fat Food Made Fun! (Paperback)
This cookbook is full of fabulous recipes that are made from easily obtainable ingredients. The directions are understandable and the finished product tastes terrific. The pages are well designed and filled with interesting tidbits of info about food and thier fat contents. The illustrations really set the humorous tone. It's actually fun to just get the book out to read it even when I don't feel like cooking. Once you make the recipes you won't believe they're low fat! An outstanding book. I can't wait for the next one.
