Customer Book Reviews
Average Rating: Rating: - Light-hearted, healthy, delicious fun! I have a tendency to collect cookbooks. I love to read 'em, look at 'em, touch 'em ... but I don't always USE them. But I've discovered that this new book, Healthy Foods, has actually become a well-used addition to my kitchen and not just another pretty face cluttering up my bookshelves. The book contains excellent (and often funny!) text on adjusting to healthier eating habits. And the recipes are fun as well as tasty! You'll find everything from Manic Meatloaf, Mama's PMS Cake, Not Your Mother's Tuna Casserole, and much more. The general contents of the book includes: Realistic healthy eating ideas, tips for introducing kids to healthier eating, making mealtime manageable, breakfast recipes, soups and salads, homemade fast foods, main dishes, dips and snacks, desserts, substitutions, hints and even a short chapter about the author's penchant for chocolate. ;-) This is healthy food for REAL people! You don't have to switch over to nothing but sawdust textured bread and bean sprouts. Another title for this book could've been "Healthy Foods Your Kids Will Love!" cuz I'll tell you, my kids have loved every recipe I've tried from this book so far! Highly recommended. Q Rating: - Easy, healthy and delicious I have tried many of the recipes in this book and have yet to find a dud. The pistou soup is warm and filling; the rubber chicken is easy to prepare, delicious, and frugal; and I have never made an easier or tastier pizza crust than the Kneadless Pizza Dough. Even my picky family has raved over everything I've prepared from this book. Leanne's style is unpretentious and her advice is practical. I had to get over the need to have exact measurements (she occasionally refers to using a 'blob' or a 'little bit', basically relying on you to adjust for your own tastes). It is well worth the time to read the first chapters about general nutrition, written in an easily understandable form and chock full of important advice. Her chapters on food allergies and eating disorders could be lifesavers. This cookbook has quickly become the most favored one on my shelf, and I'm sure I'll have to get another one eventually because this one will be tattered and covered with food stains. It's that good. Rating: - Fun and Useful After buying Ely's Saving Dinner, which gives menus for 32 weeks of healthy dinners, I wished that I had some recipes from her for breakfasts, lunches, and snacks, too. This book provides all those things. There are breads, muffins, cinnamon rolls, cereals, smoothies, pancakes and more for daily and special occasion breakfasts. There are delicious soups and salads for lunches, cookies and cakes and dips for snacks, and tasty dinner dishes, too. There is also plenty of useful information about healthy eating and cooking. The whole book is fun to read. Every recipe I have tried has been very good. Since they are very casually written, they might be a little confusing for the absolute tyro, or a little nerve-wracking for those who like precision in the kitchen, but most moms should have no trouble.
