Format:Hardcover
This book has really great recipes. There are some simple recipes as well as those that are more time consuming. You have to enjoy cooking, which I do...and you have to want to be in the kitchen for at least 45 min. in order to prepare the meals. They turn out to be so delicious; it's definitely worth the time and effort especially if you're trying to keep a healthy eating habit. The portions aren't rediculously large and the taste is definitely satisfying! This book is highly recommended by me

If you are interested in a book filled with delicious healthy recipes and you love seeing a picture of it before you make it, this is the book for you! It has a picture for almost every single recipe in the book. Gorgeous!

Not only is this book about Healthful Cooking, the recipes are fantastic. Recipes are easy to read and the pictures are beautiful. Start with the mushroom, potatoes, onions and green bean dish and then move on the the salmon and asparagus salad and on to the poached pears. Thank you William Sonoma for another great book.

Good but not for every day!
I was looking for a healthy cookbook I could use every day. This one is not it. The recipes are good, but the recipes are ones I will not be using for weeknight cooking.

Nothing yummy yet
Have cooked at least four recipes from this book (saffron fish stew, salmon and lentils, veggie lasagna, kale-bean soup, and I think one other), and not a single one has been good. Read more

Great lasagna recipe!
It uses tofu and ricotta cheese for protein (no meat), tomato sauce, red peppers, spinach! I've made it several times and LOVE it. I also like the orange zest/parsley cauliflower. Read more
