Summary: Simple recipes
Comment: This is a reasonable low priced gift to give someone because of:
*It's low cost ($4 or less on Amazon)
*Many recipes, each with a color photo
*Each recipe has "how to do" photos (usually 3)
*Each recipe lists calories, protein, carbs, sugars, fat and saturates, in grams, for those keeping track
*Recipes that are low in calories, protein sugars etc are less easy to find, and someone is bound to find a handful of goodies in this.
It weighs about 5 pounds or more, so set this monster down when reading it!
I've not cooked from this as I love my carbs, sugars, fats, etc. (!) however the recipes I've read are simple and should be reasonably tasty. This is not complicated gourmet cuisine; this is simple food that should taste good, for those on select diets, with helpful photos, suitable for beginning to intermediate cooks.

Summary: Looks Very Good at First Glance - Impressive Size and Qty
Comment: How can you argue with a cookbook containing 1000 recipes with pictures of ALL of them. At first glance you would say this is the greatest low fat, salt, sugar and cholesterol cookbook of all time. But wait, on page 566, one of many, is a recipe with 630 calories, 38 carbs, 40g of fat and 24g of Saturated Fat considered to fit this criteria. In my mind this is way too much for this type of cookbook. Where is the low salt listing for this item. And where is the low cholesterol listing. I entered the ingredients into my nutritional calculator and find that it has 128mg of Cholesterol and 660mg of sodium. Looking throughout the book salt and cholesterol is not listed on ANY recipe. How do we know what recipes fit the low salt and/or low cholesterol criteria.
It's obvious that this cookbook is not what it appears. It is a compilation of low fat AND low sugar and COULD contain low salt and low cholesterol recipes. The latter two types we really don't know.
Having stated the above, I still think this cookbook has value. Thus I gave it 3 stars. You just have to watch what you are preparing and check the nutritional information for salt and cholesterol yourself if you are trying to limit these.

Summary: Great Cookbook
Comment: I've tried many recipes in this cookbook, they're easy to make and it usually takes me 1/2 to 1 hr each day for a 3-course meal dinner. The photos are great, and the selection is worldly. You'll find many dishes that are Mediterranean, Indian, Thai, and of course Italian and Mexican..., not just the white food most other cookbooks have. I love it, use it almost every day.

Summary: Excellent!
Comment: This is by far the best cookbook I own. I have had it for a year now, and I cook something out of it an average of 3 times a week. The food does NOT taste low fat, and I don't even think of it as a low fat cookbook. The instructions are easy, the photographs are great, and they have a really good rating system so you can tell how difficult the recipe is and how long it will take. Absolutely my favorite!

Summary: Great Book!
Comment: I needed a book to get menu ideas & recipes from for my inlaws who live with us due to different medical needs. I looked through many books till I found this one. It has all the nutrition info for choosing the perfect low everything meal that still tastes great. I would recomend this book to anyone with specific dietary needs, or just wants to eat healthy.
