Outstanding

A miraculous three-quarters of the recipes I've tried from this book have been keepers. The authors have somehow managed to avoid the pitfall of trying to make palatable meals out of skim milk and celery. Instead, they have chosen dishes that at their best do not rely on unhealthy ingredients. Butter, cheese, and the like do appear in some recipes, in moderate amounts, just enough to prevent feeling that there's something missing. Among the best of the book: Fennel and prosciutto risotto, Bulgur taboule, Butternut squash soup, Minted couscous salad, Fiery pork tenderloin, and a gingery won ton soup that will be in heavy rotation at our house for years to come.

Great Food

I am a gourmet cook who was looking for some steady, healthy recipes. I have been pleasantly surprised by this cookbook. All of the recipes I have tried have been very good. There is very good variety and the recipes are easy. Bon Appetit!
