Summary: If you buy one cookbook, Healthy Helpings should be the one!
Comment: Norene is already a household name in every Jewish home in Montreal and Toronto and beyond - but her recipes extend well beyond kosher. Her books are great for anyone interested in healthy, delicious foods! She has written several cookbooks, each one better than the last. This book is my bible. Her recipes use basic household ingredients and they are healthy and delicious each and every time. I cannot recommend her cookbooks highly enough!

Summary: This cookbook sets the standard
Comment: This has become a standard in my household. Norene Gilletz has taken her knack for great tasting and easy to make recipes up to the next level. These dishes are healthy and she is always cognizant of good nutrition and great presentations. I've never made a recipe from this book that has disappointed.

I highly recommend this, and all her cookbooks. She makes cooking fun.

Summary: All you need to know
Comment: Recipe

If you invest in one cookbook in your lifetime, this should be it. Healthy Helpings is the most extensive cookbook I have ever owned. This book includes so many appealing recipes that I have trouble deciding what to make!

In addition to the recipes themselves, Norene Gilletz explains the history of her recipes, how to work with different ingredients, what food goes well together, how to present the dishes you prepare and how to vary her recipes. She also includes many health and nutrition tips and the nutritional information for each entry! There is so much extra, interesting information that I sometimes sit and read my cookbook before bed - the way most people would read a fiction book.

With the number of choices and variations offered, it would be easy as a reader to miss some of Ms. Gilletz's good ideas. However, the extensive index makes sure that you can find exactly what you're looking for. I will often choose an ingredient from my fridge and the Healthy Helpings index points me to all the recipes that include that ingredient (even if it was mentioned as a variation and not included in the basic recipe). I have a great time clearing food out my fridge this way!

The recipes in this book are easy to follow, tasty and are great for both family meals and for entertaining. This book provides healthy, creative ideas that I can serve at anytime - without anyone even having to know that they are helping themselves to healthy foods!

Summary: Awesome Cookbook - the best of the best!
Comment: I bought this cookbook after reading the reviews below and it was worth every penny! It has great, healthy recipes and great information on nutrition.
What I love most is that when you choose an entree, like fish, to cook, it gives you what you should pair with it, be it steamed broccoli and a salad or another recipe for veggies/side dish.
If you are looking for a recipe book that has great tasting food that is good for you, you have to get this book. It was worth it!
