Summary: Helpful diet guidelines & good recipe ideas
Comment: Includes helpful and easy to understand information on diet and exercise for diabetics and those who are watching their calorie intake. These recipes were probably developed before all of the new research being done on the unhealthy effects of artificial sweeteners and additives. Most recipes involve opening cans of soup and vegetables, but I have been substituting fresh produce and homemade soups. I have also been substituting stevia for the sacharine called for in the recipes and feel much better about what we are eating. My husband appreciates the flavorful, stick-to-your ribs meals that I prepare using this cookbook, so it is titled well and I will continue to use it.

Summary: ***I love this book!!***
Comment: This is absolutely my favorite cookbook!! When I was trying to diet, I was always left feeling hungry and I hated doing without dessert. So of course my diets would fail.
I happened to see Joanna Lund's cooking program on tv and decided it was worth trying one of her books. My husband and I love every recipe I have tried!! The best part of all is I feel satisfied and full when I eat, and I have lost 9 lbs since buying this book 7 weeks ago. I have bought several more of her cookbooks recently and love them too. Joanna Lund cookbooks are the only ones I will use now. I highly recommend this book!!

Summary: for the picky teenagers.. lol
Comment: My mother bought this book a long while back, when I still lived at home. My brother and I both turned our noses up to most vegetables, among other things, so we generally ate alot of fast foods and convenience-type foods from the grocery.Now that I am married and out of my mother's house, I've been experimenting with many different foods and cooking constantly. I recently called my mother to have her email me a recipe from this book that I had remembered her fixing when she first bought it. "Mexicalli Pie" :-D My mother was shocked that I actually remembered this, and my husband really enjoyed it when I made it.
I've since borrowed this book and have yet to fix anything that my husband and I didnt thoroughly enjoy.. and he was a more picky eater than both my brother AND myself! ;) I DEFINATELY reccomend this book for... well, anyone! Meals that actually TASTE GOOD, and can fool even us finicky eaters into eating healthy!

Summary: Great book
Comment: I first saw Joanna Lund on a morning show. The recipe was sooooooo simple and sounded so good that I thought I would try one of her books. Her husband is a truck driver and so is mine so I figured I couldn't lose. I was right. My husband loved the recipes that I tried. He liked them so well that I bought a different recipe book, the diabetic one. I tried these recipies on my father-in-law because he's diabetic and he loved them, as well as my children. Now when they ask what's for dinner, they ask me if I can make one of "the recipes". I even talked my sister-in-law and 2 cousins into buying the books. They think they are great also........
