5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect if you're not quite ready for vegetarian!, August 3, 2002

This review is from: No Red Meat (Paperback)

My husband's cholesterol is through the roof!!! So we both decided we wanted to try going without red meat for a while. I looked into a lot of vegetarian cookbooks but they were so off-the-wall and not very realistic for a family with 2 school age boys. It was so hard to find any recipes for "normal" easy cooking that didn't require weird or bizzare ingredients!! Thats why I love this cookbook! The recipes are simple and DELICIOUS!!! It's worth every penny! We can't wait to see how this will impact his cholesterol levels!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Some very nice recipes. Excellent nutritional info, April 29, 2000

This review is from: No Red Meat (Paperback)

I bought this book to help lose weight but when I saw it also lists the sodium, I gave it to my mother-in-law who's on a strict low sodium diet but wasn't adhering to it. The recipes we've tried were excellent and easy to prepare. I really think my Mother-in-law will find it easier to follow her diet, which is a good thing because her life depends on it.

Now I have to buy another copy for myself!

5.0 out of 5 stars So good  one wasn't enough!, January 25, 2000

This review is from: No Red Meat (Paperback)

As one who has coronary heart disease, I feel qualified to comment on low-fat cooking. No Red Meat is one of my favorite and most-used cookbooks for healthy, delicious meals. The recipes use everyday, common pantry items, and you don't have to be a Julia Childs to follow the instructions. Johnny's Chicken Pot Pie has become my husband's most requested supper, and it can be made in about an hour. When my dog, Gracie, stole my book and ate the covers and the corners (not I know why it's called dog-eared) with the page numbers on them, I couldn't wait to purchase another copy. Try it, you'll love it!
