This is a WONDERFUL cookbook. It is loaded with healthy recipes that really taste good. Each page is beautifully illustrated with a color photograph of the dish being featured. My husband and I both love fish and I was very pleased to learn how many fish and seafood dishes are contained in this book. In fact, when I prepare fish (at least once or twice a week) it is THIS cookbook to which I first turn. Try the SEARED TILAPIA WITH LEMON-TARRAGON SAUCE or the BROILED HALIBUT WITH BALSAMIC GLAZE. Then for shellfish try the SHRIMP AND PEANUT STIR FRY or the SHRIMP PAELLA. Mmmm good! There are some lovely chicken recipes I have yet to try but their descriptions really sound interesting. There are also delectable recipes for veal, flank steak, pepper steak and pork tenderloin as well as some exotic soups and mouth watering salads and even desserts. I could go on and on but what I recommend is to try it for yourself. You will treasure for years to come! Especially IF YOU LIKE TO COOK! (and cook healthy of course...)

There are certain things I like in a cookbook, and this cookbook has them. First of all, the foods are normal, and easy to make. There are pictures to see what the finished dish looks like. Lots of recipes to appeal to everyone in the whole family, and nobody is going to feel like they are eating diet food. There is a panel with each recipe with the caloric count and all the other necessary numbers. I really recommend this book.
