Rating:  Summary: Look really good Review: Ok, I haven't acutally made anything in the book yet but....the recipes look tasty, not the cream of whatever soup casserole type at all. Unlike other another freezer cookbook I have, these recipes have a variety of spices and non casserole presentations. I really like the idea of the "mini sessions" where several recipes of the same type are grouped together. That way freezer cooking doesn't have to be so overwhelming and you can make things according to what's on sale. I was satisfied with the 'Healthyness' of the recipes...they are not for hard core low fat cooks, but for most of us who are trying to eat better they work. There are 3 Vegetarian sessions, a Bean session, and a Tofu session to cut back on that red meat consumption and save us from chicken overload! I did spot a typo on the amount of chili powder in a recipe and another with dry mustard. I plan on asking about them on the website given in the book. I will just be a little wary when making the recipes. In spite of this, I am very satisfied with this book. It is just what I was looking for in a freezer cookbook!

Rating:  Summary: Big disappointment Review: This book was a BIG disappointment. The idea of cooking many things at once was well explained and the shopping lists and procedures were very helpful. However, more than fifty percent of the recipes were over 400 calories a serving with 9 or more grams of fat. In my opinion, these are not "lowfat" recipes as advertised on the cover.
Rating:  Summary: I Love this cookbook Review: This is a great resource for the health conscious cook who doesn't want to sacrifice flavor and style. I use this cookbook more than any other in my collection of over 100 books so that must mean something.
I received this book for my birthday along with this amazing new beverage as an alternative to coffee. Made from 100% soy that's organic, its absolutely delicious! It's caffeine-free and comes in 8 delicious flavors. Just google it under "s oyfee" to find it and you won't be disappointed. I love this cookbook.
