Customer Reviews

Excellent

I am enjoying using the revise comfort food recipes in this book and have lost six pounds since I started using it. The recipes are very easy to follow.

Recipes AND Information

As you might expect, coming from Eating Well, this is a very attractive book. The illustrations are lovely and informative. I've tried 5 recipes and so far, this book is 5 for 5! (Pineapple Coffee Cake, Cream of Mushroom and Barley Soup, one of the lasagnas, and the Irish Lamb Stew.) What I really appreciate, however, is the handy information on food labels and the profiles on "making over" certain types of meals. Sure, I knew a lot of the stuff anyway, but having it in this one book is really helpful.

Packed with classic dishes redone to cut calories and preserve taste

The classic makeover book for comfort food is Comfort Foods Made Healthy, providing not only recipe makeovers of old favorites - nearly two hundred, made healthier - but basic details on how such makeovers happened, and how they can be applied to other dishes. In fact, every recipe comes with a 'makeover tip' in a boxed sidebar, color photos, and make-ahead and 'active time' calculations for busy home cooks. From a healthier Old-Fashioned Chicken and Dumplings to Spinach and Cheese-Stuffed Shells, it's packed with classic dishes redone to cut calories and preserve taste, and will be a favorite in any general lending library.
