Delivers on its premise

I don't like to spend a lot of time in the kitchen, or wrestle with complicated recipes containing lots of ingredients. No one will ever label me a master chef. I simply want recipes that are quick and easy to make, low in fat, and taste good. Petersen's book delivers on all these points. Since buying her book, I've found myself cooking dinner for my wife (that's a switch!) and sharing recipes with my mother (unheard of till now!). While no one will like every recipe in any cookbook, I've found several good ones in Petersen's (my favorite is the Hawaiian Barbecue Chicken). Since switching to a low-fat diet, Petersen's book has given me several recipes I can eat that I enjoy. If I - definitely an amateur in the kitchen - can make them successfully, you can too.

Low on the go

I saw Terri on Martha Stewart and the Vegi Enchilada she did was fast, easy and looked good. After buying the book, I tried that recipe, absolutely loved the flavor and put it together in 10 minutes! Hard to believe it was low-fat. My husband who is a meat and potatoes man actually tried the Vegi Enchilada and couldnt put his fork down. Knowing it is healthy AND tastes good is a bonus. I rarely, if ever, cook a meal but with these quick and painless recipe's I've gotten to be quite handy in the kitchen.

Lowfat on the Go

Terri has five active children and sujected them to trying each receipe before allowing a recipe to be in her book. She wrote the book while teaching nutrition classes and raising a family. Her recipes are easy to prepare and designed for a busy family -- hence the title assiciated with a busy lifestyle. Our family and friends use her book regularly and find the recipes tasty and nourishing. We recommend them to anyone -- young or old.
