5.0 out of 5 stars Delicious, easy introduction to elegant Asian meals, July 31, 2002
By Sandra (Washington, DC United States) - See all my reviews
In her second cookbook, Diana My Tran gives the health-conscious person, who may not be familiar with Asian delicacies, the scientific facts and the culinary guidance to prepare beautiful, healthy and quick dishes. Calories, proteins, carbs and more are given for each item, and menus suggested for continued good eating. This book combines a creative but sensible approach to eating Asian with a personal glimpse at an extraordinary chef.

Having more than 25 years of experience in the weight loss industry I feel qualified to say that this book offers sound science-based weight loss advice combined with beautifully conceived and executed recipes. The author, Diana My Tran, is a wonderfully talented woman with exactly the right experience to put it all together, keeping it simple and delicious.

5.0 out of 5 stars Delicious and easy low-fat Asian recipes, October 30, 2002
By Emily Woudenberg (Pebble Beach, CA USA) - See all my reviews
Tran's book was an unexpected treat. These are not exotic or complicated Asian recipes, but they produce good tasting Asian dishes,that are either naturally low-fat, or adapted (less emphasis on protein, reduced oil when possible, the use of low-fat coconut milk, for example.) The ingredients are readily available in most supermarkets. There are menu plans available which promise weight loss, but I just use the recipes. (The peanut sauce for the satays is great--and I even modified it more with lower-fat peanut butter.) These are nice recipes for introducing one's family to Asian cuisine--particularly Thai and Vietnamese. I also enjoyed the photographs of Tran and her family, which personalized the book for me.
