Summary: SOY and TOFU and a few other interesting recipes...
Comment: My husband and I purchased this book for his father, as he had just had heart surgery, and we had seen Dr. Collins on Regis Live promoting his book. It sounded great and I thought this would be great for my father in law, as he loves to eat, and thought there would be great recipes for him. We were so motivated that We also purchased one for ourselves.If you love Soy and Tofu you have hit a gold mine...Well in our case, neither my husband and I, or my father in law happen to like either of these.
Practically all the recipes need these ingredients. Except for a few "creative" ones. One of the being "the carrot dog". You just supplement a marinated carrot for a hot dog and place it on a hot dog bun!!!! YUK!!!
In all due respect, Dr. Collins seems very dedicated to his patient's and if you are a Soy and Tofu lover, you will probally love these recipes and if not, don't buy it.

Summary: 2 Thumbs Up!
Comment: I recently saw Dr. Collins give a cooking demonstration and was eager to try the recipes from his book. So far, I have found the recipes to be tasty and easy to prepare. My family loves the oatmeal and soy smoothie recipes. Keep up the good work, doc!

Summary: disappointed
Comment: I heard great reviews about the book and am sorry to say that I'm disappointed. If you're ready to hunt for a lot of hard to find soy products and fat free products then this is the book for you. The salt content of the dishes we tried were extremely high given all of the "instant" ingredients used. I'm suprised a cardiologist could recommend some of these recipes. The heart may be protected by the low fat and cholesterol content but it would certainly be damaged by the high blood pressure from all of the salt.

Summary: Excellent Choice!
Comment: I saw Dr. Collins at a hospital-sponsored demonstration. Not only was her personable and funny, but he shared so many tips from the book with us that I knew immediately that I wanted it for my kitchen. In the demonstration, he cooked numerous recipes from the book and shared samples with the audience. I sat in the first row and enjoyed many of the samples--all of which were delicious! I would encourage anyone to buy this book and try the recipes. You'll be glad you did.
