Editorial Reviews

Review
Most low-fat cookbooks reduce fat by using artificial substitutes and refined processed foods: this tells how to reduce fat without such additives and with an attention to increasing flavors through herbs and spices. The result is a cookbook which is so tempting that it doesn’t seem your usual ‘fat free’ fare. -- Midwest Book Review

5.0 out of 5 stars yet another glowing review, August 8, 2003

By A Customer

OK, I couldn't help it. I was browsing for another of Sandra Woodruff's books and decided to add my two cents. I have used this book for 8 years. While dieting I have fended off ravenous family members who swore they would not touch "diet food" with a ten foot pole, yet devour the fat free pizza, calzones, chicken enchiladas, and sticky buns like they were in heaven. My son is now almost 19 and still loves this food. Sandra Woodruff has a gift for making healthy food everyone's preferred choice.

5.0 out of 5 stars Concentrates on the basics of fat free and low fat cooking., September 13, 1998

By A Customer

If you're looking for a cookbook that gives you many delicious, easy-to-prepare, low fat/fat free recipes--and also shows you how to modify your favorite recipes--this is it. A registered dietician, Sandra Woodruff concentrates on making foods low in calories and fat, and high in nutrition. Not to mention delicious, and extremely easy to prepare. This is probably the cookbook I turn to most often (besides her "Secrets of Fat Free Baking"). My husband--a traditional meat 'n potatoes kind of guy--even loves these recipes. One of his favorite meals now is the Chicken Fingers with Honey Mustard Sauce. My one complaint is that the book is not indexed very well. So, if you've got a favorite recipe--you'll have many in here--be sure to save that free amazon.com bookmark that'll come with this must-have cookbook.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Excellent Book by Sandra Woodruff, January 3, 2003

By	Lady Amethyst (Brooklyn, NY United States) - See all my reviews

If I'm going to cook anything, this is the book I grab first. You would never even know most of these recipes are low in fat if you were not specifically told. I have cooked many of them for people not concerned with fat content and they were shocked when I told them how healthy everything was! The only complaint I would have is that the portion sizes are sometimes much smaller than you would think, but that is not necessarily a bad thing since most of us were raised in households that ate portions that were way too large! I highly recommend this book for anyone who is bored by grilled chicken salad every day and is looking for some low fat adventure.
