4.0 out of 5 stars Organized differently than expected April 12, 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Being a subscriber to Clean Eating magazine and having all their back issues, I was looking forward to getting the book, thinking that it will be much easier to find the recipes, and that the recipes will be organized in a categories either by ingredient (i.e. poultry, meat, fish, grains, salads) or by course (appetizers, salads, second course, soups).

The publishers went with another way of thinking, combining the recipes into the following categories:
1. Quick and Easy Meals
2. Budget-Priced Meals
3. Five-Ingredient Meals
4. Seasonal Foods
5. Healthy Snacks
6. Recipes for One or Two People
7. Holiday Meals
8. Delicious Low-Fat Desserts
9. Summer BBQ

Also they provide 4 Weeks of Meal Plans and shopping list, give explanations to basic cooking terms and provide very approximate conversion table.

The index in the end of the book is an extremely big help, since this is a cross reference to all of the recipes and that's how you can see all recipes with, say, beef or squash. Although I just notice that there are no categories in the index for "lentils" or 'Soup", although there are recipes for both of that categories. Some room for improvement there.

In addition to recipes, they have information on whole grains (covering quinoa, couscous, bulgur and teff), tips on how to slash your grocery bill, herb pairing guide (1 page), basic info on fish (how to shop prepare, cook and store - 2 pages), seasonal spices, the guide to flours and quick flour substitution guide (3 pages) and also give ideas for clean snacks on the go. Some step by step instructions are provided (turkey prep guide, for example).

Overall I am happy that I've got the book (and for that price, too!).

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice addition to your clean eating cookbook library. December 26, 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book is written well, nice photos and so far every recipe I have tried has tasted great. My only issue with this book is that in some recipes it calls for things like '98% Fat Free canned condensed soup'. This is not clean eating. These soups contain MSG, sugar and many other ingredients that should not be included in a cleaning eating recipe book.

5.0 out of 5 stars I lost 50 pounds! October 26, 2010
Format:Paperback
I am so happy Clean Eating magazine came out with this cookbook - now all of my favorite recipes are in one place! I lost 50 pounds in two years by eating this way and I've never been happier! I am NEVER going back to my old way of eating again.

Clean foods are natural, healthy and delicious - the editors of this cookbook know food that tastes good! Those almond butter cookies ... ddddaaaammmmmnnnn!

4.0 out of 5 stars Easy Recipes, Real Ingredients May 18, 2011
By Medusa
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
So far from this cookbook I have made 2 meals. However, I am also a user of the Tosca Reno cookbooks. Compared to those, this one has many more easy to find ingredients. (not that she doesn't have great recipes also).

For the price of this book on Amazon, it was totally worth it. Most of the ingredients I can find at my local REGULAR grocery store. Some I have to go to another location that has a larger organics department.

I would love to see more pictures. I would gladly pay a little more to see a picture of each dish.

After ordering this book I am also going to renew my long lapsed subscription to the magazine. So for the person who has had this in their basket for a while and can't decide, I think you should purchase it. The recipes are easy to understand and even for a person who isn't a gourmet chef, I think I have done a pretty good job with the help of this book. Go ahead and order it :)

3/19/12- I have been using this cookbook quite a bit and find the recipes easy and tasty. I will admit some of them take more prep time than I normally like to give, but the results are worth it. I can recommend the Lemon Artichoke Chicken and the Turkey Chickpea Burgers.

Format:Paperback
The Best of Clean Eating combines the very best recipes of what readers of Clean Eating Magazine are known to crave. It includes ten chapters built around topics requested by readers: quick and easy family dinners, 20-minute meals, budget-friendly suppers, five-ingredient creations, seasonal recipes, low-fat snacks, recipes for one or two people, holiday menus, and more. Nearly every recipe has a stunning colored photo sure to make your mouth water and motivate you to fix the dish. Some of the photos even have a "nutritional bonus" feature, explaining how indulging in this recipe will improve your health.

Included in the book are information sections as well, such as "How to choose, peel, slice and pit avocados and mangos," "How to buy and prepare sweet potatoes," "Keen on quinoa," "Cacao's wow factor," and plenty more. I found myself learning some pretty interesting facts. Did you know that cacao contains minerals that appear to shut off the appetite?

In the back are four weeks of meal plans and shopping lists, plus three appendices. Appendix I contains cooking terms; this may seem unnecessary, but who ever heard of "deglaze" or "roulade"? Appendix II keeps us up to date on cooking tools, including some obscure ones such as "springform pan." Appendix III has a handy conversion table (ex: 1 cup = 8 fluid ounces = ½ pint = 16 tablespoons = 240 ml).

As I flip through this book, the recipes look simple, easy, and fast. They also appear adaptable in case one must substitute some of the ingredients for health reasons or for lack of some of the items in the kitchen. In short, this is a very user-friendly recipe book. It is large enough for a coffee table book, pretty enough for a gift, and handy enough to keep in the kitchen as a staple for recipe inspirations.
