4.0 out of 5 stars Word of mouth, April 16, 2008

By	Clementine (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Taste of Home Guilt Free Cooking (Home-Style Cooking For healthier Lifestyles) (Hardcover)

The day this cookbook arrived, I showed it to a friend who is on a low-cholesterol diet; she liked the layout (nutritional information and photos) so much that I gave it to her. In return, she invited us for dinner the first time she used it. That meal was delicious, and I ordered another copy as soon as we got home. Last weekend I made three different recipes from the soup section, all of which were good. The Italian Vegetable Soup was particularly tasty, so I took some to a neighbor, who called almost immediately to ask for the recipe. (She and I are both in Weight Watchers, and this cookbook makes it easy to calculate point values.) Now she wants a copy, too. The format of the cookbook makes recipe selection simple for those who are watching their diet for one reason or another, the recipes are simple to prepare, and a number of them are easy to make ahead. This is a practical cookbook.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just what I needed., January 14, 2008

By	John Russo "mtnviewsnh" (Chester, New Hampshire United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Taste of Home Guilt Free Cooking (Home-Style Cooking For healthier Lifestyles) (Hardcover)

This book is an excellent help in preparing meals for those who have to watch calories, carbo's, sugars, etc. Each recipe has notations for these and other things like diabetic exchanges...starch, fat, meat, etc.
I should also note the delivery was speedy and arrived intact.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Cookbook!, May 2, 2009

By	Janice M McMillen "J McMillen" (Cleveland, OH) - See all my reviews

You cannot go wrong with Taste of Home. This cookbook is no exception. I have always loved Taste of Home, but when I recently started to try to lose some weight, I was hesitant to make any of the usual rich, tasty recipes. Then I found "Guilt Free". It came in the mail this week and I have already made three of the recipes - each were fantastic! I would highly recommend any of Taste of Home's many cookbooks, but if you are trying to watch your weight, "Guilt Free" is the book for you - it will not disappoint.
