Customer Reviews

This is the best, highest quality cookbook I own!

I am not sick, do not have cancer or heart disease (at least that I am aware of). I bought this book - and subsequently the companion book - because I am interested in eating healthy. What a surprise! Not only am I eating healthy, I am eating the best prepared food I have ever made. Every assertion this book has made about itself is true. Every recipie I try is an amazing success. Every single one! It was my lucky day when I came across this book!

Yummy

I saw this on Martha Stewart and it took me six months to remember to buy it... yum. Money well spent. I was already vegitarian, for 8 years, so I don't remember the exact taste of meatloaf, but even if these recipes aren't exact replicas, they are good. The meatless/soy reuben is delicious and the thousand island dressing does taste exactly like the real except that it's good for you. Worth a try!

Martha Stewart said the food was good, so we had to try it.

We have tried many of the items and have found all of them very good. We were looking for low-fat, non-dairy foods and have been very surprised at how good all of the recipes have been. It takes some time to put them together, but it is well worth it. Some of our favorites are the Apple pie, Lasagna, veg. soup, ruben sandwich, pizza. So far we have not be disappointed in any of them. We will be buying copies of this book for our friends, so they can have the same experience we did.

Tasty and easy recipes

I have 3 very young children and I don't have time to make extravagant dinners. So, I really enjoyed this cookbook because of the easy and healthy recipes. And it's food that my kids will eat even though it's GOOD for them. The "hot dogs" taste like real hot dogs! I saw the authors on "Martha Stewart Living" making all these delicious foods (quesadillas, deserts, etc.) so I decided to get the book and I'm glad I did!

Incredibly designed to taste and appear like the real stuff!

For years I have tried to incorporate soy products into my diet. I tried various recipes in magazines and other cookbooks, but the meals were never quite right in the taste and appearance departments. The recipes in Taste for Living, however, are exactly what I was looking for. I was pleasantly shocked when I not only looked forward to eating the food in these recipes, but so did the children! With a long line of cancer and heart disease in my family, I am grateful for the recipes and tips in this book. I know these dietary change may save my life and the lives of my family members.
