Review of Low-Fat Living Cookbook: 250 Easy, Great-Tasting Recipes (Paperback)

This book is the best cookbook I have ever used! My physician told me I needed to cut down on fat and calories, and suggested this cookbook. I just knew I wouldn't like any of it, because almost all the low-fat cookbooks I have ever seen list not-so-common ingredients, and the food tastes bad, and so on. Boy, was I wrong!
This cookbook starts off by giving diet tips and information, not too much, just a few pages. These were some of the tips I just heard on CBS Early Show Health Series. I discussed them with my weight-loss counselor, too, and all were ones they do recommend.
The receipes are simple, easy to prepare, and took only minutes. I was astounded that this cookbook didn't list a lot of salads, like most low-fat ones do. These are everyday foods, and you don't even know they are low-fat. In fact, like a few other reviewers, my husband still doesn't know he's eating "diet" food. In fact, the other day, he said he knew I had been going to a cooking school because the food I prepared now was sooo much better. In reality, I have been going to a weight-loss clinic, and never told him because of the fear of failure.
I now have quit those clinics, and totally rely on this cookbook. I weighed 224, and now have lost 80 pounds. I haven't been hungry and with these recipes, you can eat all you want. That's what is recommended. I also never etr tired of them because there are sooo many and each one can be prepared soo many different ways, it doesn't taste like the same receipe.
Get this cookbook today. I know the money you spend on it WILL come back to you...almost immediately!

They really bring out the flavor of the food without being overwhelming. The concept behind the book is somewhat old-fashioned since it is about 20 years old, but you can't argue with good food!

Review of The Vegetarian Gourmet's Easy Low-Fat Favorites (Paperback)

I bought this book about a year ago after I decided I wanted to be a vegetarian, but had no clue how to prepare meals w/o meat.Hinman's book is definately full of great ideas.I have used so many of the recipes that the pages of the books are stained or torn from so much use.
The book is divided into several sections including: salads and dressings, grains, pastas, stove top dishes, casseroles, breads, fruits, vegetables, soups, desserts, and beverages.Definately full of recipes that have plenty of protein w/o tons of fat or calories.It is so easy to make some of these.Most recipes can be done in under 1/2 an hour.Even my texan, meat eating family has enjoyed the cooking from this recipe book. It is a MUST BUY!
