The Complete Quick & Hearty Cookbook

Summary: Deceiving and disappointing
Review: For those of us who need to limit our intake of fat to 2 grams or less per meal, this book is a huge disappointment. Now if it hadn't advertised itself as 'low fat' I wouldn't have had any gripes, but if you look in the forward, the book itself states that by low fat the authors mean '3 grams or less' yet there are recipes in this book containing a whopping 21 grams per serving. Furthermore, only about 1 in five that I could see flicking through it were within my range. Very disappointing! Had I flicked through it in a bookstore I would have passed it by. Be warned.

Summary: Easy, quick recipes
Review: This is a great cookbook for anyone who needs to cut back on fat and calories...I follow Richard Simmons food plan and this book fits perfectly with his Move, Groove and Lose program. The recipes are quick and use things you will most likely find already in your kitchen.
