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.

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.

I despise cooking; moreover, I absolutely hate dieting. Imagine my surprise when I found a cookbook that appeared to provide both easy and low calorie, healthy meals. Can we say, "too good to be true"?

I took the chance and have been absolutely amazed! I've made a few dishes and a dessert from this book and they were extremely simple and tasty. I got my daughter interested in the book and now we're both ear-marking our next intended recipes with enthusiasm. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this book to anyone else, regardless of cooking skill or intentions. I don't believe you need to be on a restricted diet to give this a shot -- you simply don't miss the ingredients that are usually so bad for us that they substitute or leave out.

Get this book! :)
