Summary: Great book - familiar ingredients - great variety
Review: Excellent cookbook for those of us watching our weight. This is "good for you" food that tastes good! Provides nutrition descriptions - before and after recipe modifications; suggestions for menus; nice pictures; and written in a warm, friendly manner. Strongly suggest this one for your collection. Great holiday gifts.

Summary: Have used so often the book is falling apart!
Review: I bought this book about four years ago and have made many of the recipes. Most are relatively easy and fast (especially the chapter on one-dish meals), and although some ingredients you have to look a little harder to find most are available and a lot are things you probably already have on hand. The Chicken Enchiladas and Garden Vegetable Pizza have become standard family favorites and when served to guests I am often asked for the recipes. Oh, and did I mention that the recipies are low fat? I often forget because they taste so good. So happy that she is coming out with another cookbook - I will be one of the first to buy it!

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: 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: One of my favorite cookbooks!
Review: Time and again I turn to this cookbook to help me decide what to cook for dinner; it is a gem! There is such a wide variety of dishes that are quick, easy, and tasty. The best thing of all, however, is knowing that they are low in fat. I couldn't live without this book! I love to cook the Greek Penne (adding kalamata olives which increases the fat content, but is oh so yummy) when having guests over because it is delicious, easy, and colorful; everyone asks me for the recipe! This book is a great addition to any cook's library!

Summary: Good old-fashioned food without all the fat
Review: What a pleasant surprise this book has been! I bought it from a discount table at an agricultural fair in Maine and didn't really expect much. It is by far my husband's and my favorite cookbook. The meals are "real food," stuff you can serve your fussy kids and fussy guests. I haven't been disappointed with anything I've tried to date. We highly recommend the Spaghetti with Spicy Italian Meat Sauce -- it is better than any spaghetti sauce we have ever tried, always gets raves when we serve it and yet it has far less fat. Awesome! Other favorites: No Fry Chimichangas, Old Fashioned Beef Stew, Easy Chili, Sweet Potato Puff (great for Thanksgiving and less than half the fat of a version I used to make, and no one can tell the difference). This book is excellent.
