Summary: A little Disappointed
Review: An OK cookbook. There are others I liked much better. All the Weight Watcher cookbooks for example. Most likely I will only cook only a few of the recipes in this cookbook.

Summary: Good Morning America the Calories Cookbook
Review: As co-editor of THE GOOD MORNING AMERICA CUT THE CALORIES COOKBOOK, I'd just like to say that Sara Moulton is a joy to work with, the consumate professional-- knowledgeable, decisive, cooperative and upbeat always. She hopes to be writing her own cookbook soon-- look for it a couple years down the line. Meanwhile, please check out two books of my own (which, incidentally, are two of Sara's favorites): THE NEW DOUBLEDAY COOKBOOK (big and basic) and THE AMERICAN CENTURY COOKBOOK (a culinary nostalgia trip through the 20th century with more than 500 of that century's most beloved recipes). jean anderson

Summary: A very good low fat/cal cookbook
Review: I love Sara Moulton's Food TV show "Cooking Live." Ms. Moulton has the ability to make even the most difficult sounding recipe appear entirely accessible. That was the entire reason for me buying this cookbook.I've tried several of the recipes in the book and all have been excellent, clearly explained, and easy to do. The Oven Fried Chicken and Andouille Sausage alone is worth the price of the book, though it is virtually impossible to stay within the calorie count. It tastes too good. The recipe says it's for four, but two people will easily polish it off. Not because it doesn't make enough, just because it tastes so darned good that you can't stop yourself. The food does not taste as though it's been defatted. And as an added plus, the book embraces spicy foods, ethnic cuisines, etc. There is a small downside to this book however. This book only contains main course recipes, no sides. Also, and I know that this was an unfair assumption on my part, but I would have liked the fiber also noted in the nutritional tables for each recipe. Ms. Moulton lost a good amount of weight using the Weight Watchers program - something she talked about on her show frequently, and because of that I kind of figured there would have been enough nutritional info for the recipes to figure out what your Winning Points would be. It's a small complaint though, and certainly not worth not buying the over.

Summary: A little Disappointed
Review: I'm a huge cooking fan. I'm a huge food fan. And I'm a huge Sara Moulton fan. So I almost fell over when I saw that not only was Ms. Moulton editing a cookbook, but she was going to be at a booksigning in my town. But I digress. There I got to try a few of the cookies that were in the book, which was nice. As soon as I got home, I made the lemon meringue cookies, which I still make @ least weekly - they're incredibly easy, really really good, and low cal. Does it get any better? Also, I enjoyed reading this cookbook. It was interesting to read about the people who submitted their recipes, as well as the stories behind them. All in all, a very good find.

Summary: She cooks for everyone....
Review: Sara Molton is a cook for everyone. She breaks it all down, and makes it so easy for an average person to get into the kitchen and create. She's wonderfully talented and such a great people person. Her receipes are fun, healthy and really easy to follow. And, she knows that average people want to make healthy receipes that are tasty too. She's a great resource and her TV shows on the FOODNetwork, are top notch. I recommend this book for everyone that loves to cook, and for those just starting out.
