5.0 out of 5 stars Well written book of fantastic recipes, February 23, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Secrets of Fat-free Greek Cooking: Over 100 Low-fat and Fat-free Traditional and Contemporary Recipes (Secrets of Fat-free Cooking) (Paperback)

This book is really quite interesting, very thorough, and the recipes truly are as about fat-free as you can get. Interestingly enough, a lot of them are also low carb as well. Very informative about Greek culture and customs as well. My only wish is that there were more recipes although there is enough presented to keep one busy for quite some time. I highly recommend this book. The author certainly knows how to invite strangers into her life (and to her table.) This books is exactly what it states it is and is truly a keeper.

1.0 out of 5 stars Secrets of Fat Free Greek Cooking, June 28, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Secrets of Fat-free Greek Cooking: Over 100 Low-fat and Fat-free Traditional and Contemporary Recipes (Secrets of Fat-free Cooking) (Paperback)

The lamb dishes are OK, but most of everything else does not have the authentic Greek flavor. Does not taste very good after having had the real stuff.
