From Publishers Weekly

In this follow-up to her 1994 bestseller Healthy Homestyle Cooking, Tribole continues to teach readers how to lighten up a varied assortment of family-pleasing dishes by using a smart collection of replacement ingredients and a refreshing dash of common sense. Don't cut out the mascarpone and cocoa so essential for tiramisu, she urges; pair them with fat-free cream cheese and sponge cake, swirled with frozen light whipped topping. Appetizers, entr?es, "fixings," desserts and baked goods have all been revamped the Tribole way, and she tells exactly how she did it in two information-packed introductory chapters (one featuring helpful "conversion" chartsAchange coconut flakes to coconut extract and save 337 calories!). Each recipe has a "nutritional scorecard" totaling fat and calories before and after; tricks for making changes (such as using fruit puree for shortening in cakes); and a complete nutritional analysis. Some selections are naturally light and easyABroiled Sole with Olive Topping or Portobello Pizzas (the caps serve as "crusts"). Others, like Chicken Kiev, demand more tinkering. If the goal is to have your Cheesy Green Enchiladas and eat them, too, then Tribole's methods will be great weapons in the battle against the bulge. (Oct.)

From Library Journal

Tribole is the author of Shape magazine's "Recipe Makeovers" column (but only one of these recipes appeared there), and her first Healthy Homestyle Cooking title has sold more than a million copies. For each recipe, she gives a "Nutrition Scorecard" listing calories and fat before and after her low-fat, low-calorie, low-cholesterol, high-fiber makeover. Many of the recipes are somewhat old-fashionedDOrange-Pineapple Fluff Gelatin, Chicken Kiev (though now stuffed with light Muenster cheese instead of herbed butter), Creamed Tuna on ToastDand the low-fat/no-fat substitutions make others seem like a shadow of their former selves. Obviously, however, there will be a good deal of demand.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Food, February 14, 2001

This review is from: More Healthy Homestyle Cooking: Family Favorites You'll Make Again And Again (Hardcover)

I can't say enough good things about this book!! I bet I have a dozen low-fat or diet cookbooks collecting dust on my shelves because the recipes either don't taste good, they are too difficult to make, or I can't find the ingredients. Everything I have made from this cookbook has been fantastic and quick and easy, too. My husband loves what I cook now, and it is good for us, too. I am planning on purchasing her first Homestyle cookbook and getting rid of all the rest of my low fat cookbooks!

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT, May 2, 2005

This review is from: More Healthy Homestyle Cooking: Family Favorites You'll Make Again And Again (Paperback)

I own several healthy cookbooks and this has become my favorite from the day I purchased it. The recipes are delicious and exactly what I'm looking for when looking for low fat, healthy, tasty recipes.

How can you go wrong with Skillet Chicken Paprikash, Beef Stroganoff Bake, Chicken Smothered in Peanut Sauce, Hot Spinach-Artichoke dip, Swedish Meatballs, Stuffed Shells Florentine, Chicken Kiev, and more...it's everything my family loves and I feel great serving it when I know it's healthy.

I would also recommend Betty Crocker's Best of Healhty and Hearty Cooking as well as The Complete Cooking Light Cookbook. I refer to these three cookbooks almost every night!

4.0 out of 5 stars Still tastes good, but food has a healthy twist, September 23, 2000

By 

Maureen Middleton (Ft. Knox, KY) - See all my reviews

This review is from: More Healthy Homestyle Cooking: Family Favorites You'll Make Again And Again (Hardcover)

I've enjoyed a few recipes already and had the book for 3 days. The Artichoke Frittata was great tasting and reduced calories and fat minus cooking oil and using egg whites. Never missed them. Pumpkin-Nut Muffins substitued applesauce for oil and used a healthy cup of whole wheat flour slipped in for health, but didn't affect density or flavor. My only disappointment with the book is that many recipes use refrigerator dough and some prepared ingredients that I wouldn't necessarily call "Healthy". If you are concerned with partially hydrogenated oils, then you would not enjoy some recipes. Overall it looks like a keeper in my overflowing shelf of cookbooks.
