Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review
This "celebration of food, friends, and healthy living" follows the Food Guide Pyramid recommendations of eating 5 or more servings of fruit and vegetables, 6 to 10 servings of grain foods, and 2 to 3 servings of protein foods daily, and limiting fats and sweets. The recipes are low in fat, high in nutrition, and often inventive. "Tapioca Fruit Pudding" is made with orange juice and vanilla yogurt instead of milk and eggs. "Stuffed Shells with Beef and Tomato Sauce" has only one-half pound of lean ground beef for 6 servings. All chicken recipes start with skinned chicken. Calories and fat grams per serving are provided, and many of the recipes are far less than the recommended maximum 30 percent fat. No esoteric ingredients are required.

The strange thing about this cookbook is that the illustrations are all black-and-white photographs of celebrities--screen and TV stars, an astronaut, athletes, models, etc., who contributed some of the recipes--not a food shot among them. You may love Tony Lama's boots, but is his head shot the best illustration for a recipe for Green Chile Rice Casserole? Despite the lack of food photos, this is a very useful book if you're trying to follow the pyramid and need some fresh and tasty recipes. --Joan Price --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice variety of recipes, October 20, 1999
By A Customer
This book had a nice mix of recipes, and some good ideas for substituting ingredients in some popular recipes such as brownies and cheesecake. Some recipes seemed too tasty to be low fat!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Resource, May 3, 2001
I purchased this book to support the American Cancer Society so I wasn't expecting it to be something I could necessarily use. I was pleased to find that in fact it is very good. Yes, as one of the other reviewers notes, it suggests cooking the shrimp too long in one recipe but the majority are solidly conceived and take everyday cooking to a more sophisticated and doable level. This book can be appreciated by beginners and experienced cooks. The recipes emphasize fresh, whole ingredients but occasionally use convenience foods like canned beans. The conversions charts are up-to-date, thorough and user-friendly. I did not need the celebrity pictures and their recipes, but it is nice to know they support a very important cause.
