Healthy Homestyle Cooking

Summary: Low fat nutritous food without compromising your taste buds!
Review: I have tried a number of the recipes in this book and haven't tasted one that I did not like. The recipes are not only low-fat, Tribole also incorporates healthy, nutritious ingredients into the recipes. The recipes are also well-written and easy to prepare. I work at a demanding career and am the single mother of a toddler and am able to prepare a majority of these dishes on a weeknight! I have tried numerous low fat and healthy cookbooks and none compare to this one in keeping the dishes delicious. It's the only cookbook that stays on my counter!

Summary: Easy to follow, healthy changes to common recipes.
Review: I love this book! I've sent it to everyone I know. My husband has very high cholestorol (he's 26) and has been very fussy about the flat taste of low fat foods. He absolutely loved the brownies and the Blueberry Muffins. You will love it!

Summary: The Best Cookbook--that's Healthy Too!
Review: I love to collect cookbooks--but there are only handful that I regularly use, and Healthy Homestyle is one of the few that I count on. I just adore the Cheesy Potato Soup and the Easy Cheesy Chili Relleno Casserole. My kids (okay and me too) love the Macaroon-filled Chocolate cupcakes. I've been a fan of Tribole's Recipe Makeover column in Shape magazine and just like her column she does not dissapoint.

Summary: Have used so often the book is falling apart!
Review: I tried about five of the recipes in this book during the Thanskgivng holiday. My entire family loved them! In fact, my mother and mother-in-law ask me to give them this cookbook as a Christmas gift. This cookbook taught me that "fraction of the fat" does not mean "fraction of the flavor."

Summary: Excellent recipes, with very few exceptions!
Review: I use this cookbook more than any others I own. EXCEPT FOR the sweets and baked goods, the recipes are easy, healthy and tasty! One standout is the Chinese Noodle and Cabbage Salad -- everyone loves it. Unfortunately I find the baked goods and desserts to be too low in fat -- the muffins come out either soggy or tough because all the fat is replaced with applesauce, and the whole eggs replaced by egg whites. I recommend replacing about half the applesauce with fat (or keeping all the applesauce and just adding a few Tbs. oil), and using a whole egg in place of two whites, for much better results. Also most of the baked goods need salt.

Summary: One of my favorite cookbooks!
Review: I've probably prepared at least 35 recipes from this cookbook and almost all the dishes were just terrific. And what is particularly great is Ms. Tribole uses ingredients that are readily available, and the recipes are fast and easy to prepare. She gives the calorie count, fat gram count, and cholesterol count per serving for each recipe. Unfortunately the carb count is not included. One tip - Evaporated skim milk is used in many recipes; I have found this gives a slight sweetness that I find undesireable. Plain skim milk can be substituted with better results.

Summary: Best cookbook in my collection
Review: My husband & one of my daughters have to eat high-fiber, low-fat foods. In search of a cookbook that would provide me with healthy, low-fat, good-tasting versions of our favorite foods, I bought this book. All of the recipes I've tried so far taste great. No one can tell they're low-fat recipes. I'm so glad I can prepare low-fat food that doesn't taste like cardboard!

Summary: Excellent lowfat cookbook
Review: Out of all my lowfat cookbooks this one is my favorite. The recipes are all easy to follow, the ingredients common and the results are always delicious. My favorite recipe is for the Fettucine Alfredo. It's takes as good as the regular kind you get in a restaurant yet it's much healthier. Ms. Tribole has made lowfat eating a pleasure with this book.

Summary: Unbelievable!!
Review: The recipes in this book are delicious! It is so refreshing to make dishes that are healthier for our family w/o sacrificing taste or quality. My husband and I take turns making dinner every night and he loves how easy it is to use. He is also a very picky eater and he loves the meals we make. I have been consistently using this book for over a year to make our dinners, and I make one dish a week to take as my lunch for the week. Best thing we ever did!!
