Product Description

Over 300,000 copies of Busy People's Low-Fat Cookbook have already been sold! What's a busy people's recipe? It's one that has seven ingredients or less and can be cooked in 30 minutes or less. Most take only 15 to 20 minutes. Here's a cookbook with more than 240 fast and easy, homestyle, heart-healthy recipes.

When her husband's cancer created a situation in which Dawn Hall realized she had to become the family breadwinner, Dawn, a self-described food addict, turned her passion – creating quick and easy recipes for delicious heart-healthy meals – into a solution that made her self-published cookbooks a nationwide sensation. With her charm, enthusiasm, and energy, Dawn has sold more than 650,000 copies of her cookbooks, won national awards, opened doors to speaking engagements, landed her press appearances and magazine covers. She created a wildly successful cookbook franchise with a fiercely loyal following.

Each recipe in Busy People's Low-Fat Cookbook has nutritional information, preparation time, and cooking time as well as menu ideas. The book also contains instruction on how to maintain an ideal body weight and tips on saving time and money in the kitchen. It is bound in an easy-to-use hardcover concealed spiral binding.

5.0 out of 5 stars QUICK, EASY AND YUMMY!!, January 9, 2004

By	Terri Bogden (Newark, IL United States) - See all my reviews

I bought this cookbook about a week and 1/2 ago. I have cooked out of it nonstop (breakfast, lunch and dinner) since I received it. If you are looking to eat low fat and not give up taste, and not spend a lot of time in the kitchen, this book is it!!!! The recipes are super easy (all 30 minutes or less, and 7 ingredients or less), and all very low fat and good! My family hasn't been disappointed yet. I recommend the pineapple snack cake, it takes 2 minutes to make, 20 minutes to bake and tastes just like pineapple upside down cake with only 1 gram of fat!!!! Try this book, it is worth it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great low fat recipes that are easy!, March 20, 2005

By	Rhonda Elrod "Nonagail 1974" (Conyers, GA USA) - See all my reviews

I have never made anything from this cookbook that was not delicious. I have enjoyed having it and I use it religiously to stay on my diet. Using Dawn Hall's recipes I have lost 30lbs. since January. I recommend all of her cookbooks to my friends, but this one is great to get started with.

This review is from: Busy People's Low-fat Cookbook (Busy People's Low-Fat Cookbook) (Spiral-bound)

The recipes are quick and easy, but they tend to use a lot of the same ingredients - chicken, rice, noodles, etc. There are also not a lot of vegetables involved and I love vegetables. If you're a "meat and potatoes" kind of person, though, the you'd probably like the recipes. I prefer the AHA low fat, low cholesterol cookbooks even though the recipes take a bit longer. There's more variety.
