Cooking Healthy With a Man in Mind

Joanna Lund has made my life so much easier with her delicious and healthy recipes. The recipes in this cookbook are easy to make and the ingredients won't break the bank. Another winner by this author!

Quick & Easy Cooking

I believe this is a great cookbook for several reasons: (1) The ingredients are easy to find & I'm likely to have them on hand; (2) The recipes are usually easy to prepare; (3) It teaches how to eat healthy and make simple, healthy substitutes; (4) Most recipes produce excellent tasting, hearty meals my husband enjoys.

Fat out of your diet with food that taste good.

I am a man who has many health conditions--heart problem and diabetic--that require me to reduce the fat in my diet. I have tried all sorts of diets and fads that have come along to assist me. None have worked in the long term. Most are two difficult and time consumming to prepare with portion control that is not suitable to satisfy a man. The recipes in this book are easy to prepare and use the things right off the grocery store shelf. They are satisfying and I don't crave fat things. Ms. Lund states in her book that the preparation of the meal should not take longer than it does to eat it. I could not agree more.I am a walking testament that the simple to prepare and tasty recipes in this book--especially the desserts--greatly reduce the fat in your diet. A side affect of Ms. Lund's recipes is that reducing the fat is causing me to lose weight without having to eat portions that will only satisfy a mouse. I recommend her book highly.

The best cookbook in the collection!

I am an avid fan of JoAnna Lund - I have every one of her cookbooks - but this one outweighs them all. My husband is a very picky eater, and he loves the recipes from this book. They are easy to make, delicious to eat, and will become a family favorite! I highly recommend this book - you won't be sorry!

What a great cookbook. I have them ALL!!!

First let me say that I am an avid fan of JoAnna Lund. She has made it so much easier to have a healthier lifestyle by giving us such great cookbooks. Her recipes are easy to make, taste great, and are low fat, low/no sugar, and are definitely family pleasers.My husband loves these recipes too. In fact, we like her recipes so much that I have personally purchased all of her cookbooks. Whether you just want to eat healhier, or need to watch your fat or sugar intake you can use ALL of these recipes. Every single recipe has the nutritional value, Healthy Exchanges breakdown (JoAnna's plan), and Diabetic Exchanges. If you are following the Weight Watchers plan, you will be able to convert each recipe into points without a problem. This cookbook shows just how easy it is to eat REAL FOOD not rabbit food to be healthy. Recipes work well too for those wanting to drop a few pounds. JoAnna's Healthy Exchange program is explained in the front of the book.I know if you try just one of her books, you will be hooked and want more.
