This cookbook has been our favorite for the last couple of years. At first glance, the recipes appear to be too simple to be exciting, but somehow they pack a lot of complexity and flavor into a few ingredients. It is the PERFECT cookbook for everyday after work cooking, but there are also plenty of recipes that you will want to serve your guests too. Their grilled flank steak recipe is a standard at every summer party I throw, and it gets rave reviews every time.

I just wanted to thank you for your healthy recipes....my husband suffered 3 heart attacks a few weeks ago and is home recovering from open heart surgery....At 47 his future health is directly tied to a change in his life style...food has always been an improtant part of his idea of enjoying life... thanks to your cookbooks, I am able to give him heart healthy food with flavor that doesn't take all day to prepare... with your help, I know my chances of his sticking to a better diet are a whole lot greater....thank you thank you thank you.....

I am very delighted with the purchase of this cookbook. Due to health reasons within the last few years, I have been adding lowfat cooking to my menu. Holly provides some very lowfat and tasty recipes anyone will enjoy. The Heavenly Cheesecake was a sweet treat to my whole family. A good lowfat cookbook to add to anyone's cookbook collection! I recommend it.

I received this book as a wedding gift in 1997. Just about every recipe that I have tried has been wonderful. The White Chili is a great change from Tortilla Soup and the pasta recipes are very easy and light. This is a wonderful addition to your cookbook collection.

This is a wonderful collection of delicious recipes from Holly Clegg - Louisiana cookin is what we love! Awesome book! You won't regret

This is one of my very favorite cookbooks. I received it as a gift in 1993, even signed by Holly!!! It is marked up and stained on many pages. You can't go wrong with this cookbook if you want to eat healthy and still have lots of flavor. I recommend the Chicken Fricassee....it even impressed a real cajun cook....my mother in law!!!

The recipes in this book take the boredom and blandness out of low fat, low cholesterol cooking. Many of the recipes have become family favorites, quite a statement for a low fat cookbook. If you are trying to start on a low fat diet or have been on one, this cookbook must be a part of your kitchen library.

No, that is not an oxymoron! I was raised in Louisiana and Texas and I am very picky about "home cooking." This book has delicious and light recipes that are easy to make. My entire family loves the food from this book. I find myself reaching for this one over and over again. The stuffed artichoke tastes just like you get in New Orleans!
