Rating:  Summary: Outstanding! Everyone should have this book. Review: Incredible book - really fun and creative. Something for everyone. It's a must-have. I'd love to have dinner with these ladies.
Rating:  Summary: Fun and Practical Review: More than just another cookbook. This book is full of delicous recipes that are great for utilizing in a healthy eating plan PLUS enough tips, cartoons,trivia, etc. to keep anyone entertained. Everytime you open it you find something new.
Rating:  Summary: If you want low-fat recipes in particular, this book is it! Review: Not only is this the best low-fat cookbook I have (and I have lots), but it is the best cookbook, PERIOD. I have tried six recipes so far, and I love all of them. (Miss American Thigh MMMMMM, and Bananaberry Bombs!!!) They are also very easy, and don't contain the funky ingredients that ALL my other low-fat cookbooks have. If something is different, the authors tell you what it is, and where to find it. They have lots of interesting tidbits, too. It's one where you could actually go page to page and read (I read it on a plane trip). I would love to see the authors on their own cooking show, because I bet they're a riot! I have read many reviews at Amazon (and based purchasing decisions on them), but haven't been compelled to write one until now. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!

Rating:  Summary: Best Cookbook I own! Review: Someone gave this book to me a gift and I have to say I thought it was too cutesy and childish for a "serious" cook like myself (although, I don't cook that much I thought that when I did get around to cooking I better be serious and go with Martha Stuart). In truth, Martha is probably why I hate cooking -- the recipes take hours, you can rarely find all of the ingredients and the dish never comes out looking just right! Looney Spoons has showed me how fun and easy cooking can be and I love to cook now. I can make great low-fat meals in no time; this is by far the best cookbook I've ever had. The authors are really funny and the recipes taste great. They do a lot with spices which is something I've never experimented too much with before... HIGH APPLAUDES TO THE AUTHORS FOR SUCH AN AMAZING COOKBOOK!

Rating:  Summary: Truly one of a kind and definitely worth owning! Review: Thank heavens there is finally a tasty guide to low fat eating. Not all of us love fish with lemon juice, after all! I can't recommend this book highly enough. I've tried at least 20 of the recipes and I've yet to find a dud. Best of all, it's written by people with a sense of humor--and ain't that rare in the low-fat cookbook world!
Rating:  Summary: Delicious and Delightful!! Review: The recipes are easy, the stories, jokes and comparisons are great, and there is a section of some absolutely delicious vegetarian recipes -- I loved both Looneyspoons and Crazy Plates. Bright Blessings!

Rating:  Summary: Too Often Confusing Review: There are some tasty recipes in this book, but the names of them are each trying so hard to be funny that you can't always tell what the recipe is for and there are no "sub-titles" to tell. Examples of recipes include: "A Penne Yearned", "A Curried Affair", "All in the Yamily", "La Rice-a Bon-eata", "We're Talking Small Potatoes", and so forth. It's impossible to tell what the dish is, much less whether it's a main dish, side, or dessert. For that reason, I don't use the book very often and wish I had spent my money on something else.
