I finally picked up both of Laura's cook books and I was especially pleased with the variety in this one. The recipes are generally, full meal types- a combination of both carbs and proteins and, of cource, low in the fat department. So far, I have tried 6 different recipes and all have really impressed me. I also liked the fact that she lists the calorie information on each recipe. Thats helpful in planning my diet- and saves a lot of time looking up calorie counts in books.

5.0 out of 5 stars Recommended for "non-cooks", August 18, 1999

One of my pastimes and hobbys is to collect cookbooks. I have a wide variety of over 100 of them, and the great majority sit adjacent to my stove, upon a special shelf I built, collecting dust. While many books seem appealing and I get all psyched up upon purchasng my books, the directions and ingredients most of my cook books call for, make it a pain in the you know what to make. This book is easy easy easy! Try the southwest chicken. It takes 20 minutes to make and its truly amazing!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Food! Very Good Book!!!, August 29, 2002

I am a female lightweight bodybuilder and fitness enthusiast. I really needed to learn more about low-fat/healthy cooking that my family would enjoy and eat. (I already know how to make the fattening stuff!) This book has wonderful recipes. The cheesecake is so good people don't believe it is low fat, the tuna dip is excellent for parties. I am really enjoying everything I have tried. I thought the use of fat-free products would be bland and not appealing at all, but I was very wrong. The recipes are very tasty. One drawback is that some of the recipes are confusing, ie. the cheesecake ingredient list calls for fat-free yogurt, then recipe states "to add lemon yogurt". So be sure to read the recipe entirely before shopping so you can be clear on what you really need to buy. Also, the nutritional information is not always accurate. (I plugged some of the recipes into a nutritional software program.) But it is a good book with great recipes nonetheless. I am buying it as gifts for all of my friends.
