Oh my goodness, I think the last reviewer is a little too serious. I love this cookbook! The pop trivia is interesting and some of the cartoons have actually made me laugh. I love humor and laughing is healthy medicine. I was initially attracted to the bright colors throughout this book, I have since tried a few of the recipes and am quite happy with them. The Lasagna on page 137 is sooo yummy. The Indian Butter Chicken on page 82 was a smash hit with company last weekend. Each recipe has a goofy fun name with straight forward translation written right beside it. Life is too short to be so rigid. I say give this book a try.

Loved this cookbook! I've been looking for a "healthy cookbook" for a long time and this is the first one that has recipes that actually taste great. A friend of mine mentioned the book saying she had cooked from it every week and managed to shed a few pounds. I've been a fan of Janet and Greta's other cookbooks Looneyspoons and CrazyPlates for a while so I decided to give Eat, Shrink and Be Merry a try. I didn't think anything could top their other books, but Eat, Shrink and Be Merry is even BETTER! Last week I cooked The Ladle in Red recipe for my family and they absolutely loved it. The hubby even mentioned that he'd like to try a few other recipes. He's looking to lose the beer-gut and hopefully these recipes can help him out. If you really want to eat more healthfully and have fun doing it, give this book a try.

I love cooking from this book! The recipes are all easy to make and I like that the ingredients can be found in any grocery store. The cooking and nutritional tips in the margins have really helped me learn more about healthy eating. I made the Wise Guy Pizza Pie for friends the other night and everyone absolutely loved it - no one knew that the pizza was actually good for them, lol! I definitely recommend this book to anyone who loves delicious food and wants to lose weight.

Catchy titles
The recipes are easy with available ingredients. My husband is a diabetic and this makes options for both of us that we like.
