The whole office can't be wrong! 5 out of 5 stars.
26 of 26 people found this review helpful.

Most of my dessert recipes are Julia Child-style rich, but I recently got this book from the library to see how well I could make low-fat, whole-wheat baking work (I've been baking since I was 8 and use mostly my own recipes). Yesterday I made my usual white flour, high-fat, high-sugar banana bread for my entire office, which everyone loved. Today I made the whole wheat Brown Sugar Banana Bread from the bread section of this cookbook, without the nuts, and the ENTIRE office is raving about it! Everyone ate both kinds and declared this one just as good, if not better. I also got a number of her other cookbooks and have been VERY impressed with the recipes. Definitely a must-have for any kitchen.

Editorial Review:

In her nine previous cookbook bestsellers, Sandra Woodruff proved that fat-free cooking is as easy and delicious as it is nutritious. Now, in a book that's destined to become the kitchen bible for health- conscious cooks everywhere, she's collected all of her best fat-free and low-fat recipes in a single volume.

Each of these recipes is a winner - a table-tested favorite that will please even the pickiest eaters. From Creamy Mushroom Soup to Chocolate Cherry Tunnel Cake, this is the only cookbook people need for a lifetime of healthy eating.

Full of good, practical recipies 5 out of 5 stars.
14 of 14 people found this review helpful.

I own a lot of cookbooks... but I've never had one quite like this. This is the first cookbook where I look through the recipies, and think "Hey - I should make that some time" for most of the recipies. Other cookbooks seem to be literally filled with recipies that either don't look any good, or require exotic ingredients only availble to people in major metropolitan centers.

With this cookbook, however, I flip through the pages wishing i had time to make almost all of the 900 recipies. I've made about 20 things out of this book now, and have enjoyed almost all of them a lot.

Pros:
- Contains a good, detailed introduction for the novice cook, including information on herbs, cooking methods, etc.
- Contains almost 900 recipies that you can actually make and enjoy.
- Has recipies from almost every category - breads, meats, desserts, soups, etc.
- I totally disagree with the person who said the layout is lousy . I've never had trouble finding anything in this book.
- The recipies, while not being extremely low fat, *are* from cooking light, and hence are healthier in general than most other cookbooks. Plus, the recipies don't ever seem to sacrifice flavor for a *light* rating.

Cons:
- You'll spend longer in the kitchen trying to make more of these

Sorry - I don't really have a good con for this book :)

If you love too cook - you'll love this book!

Editorial Review:

Nearly 900 light and healthy recipes from Cooking Light, the nation's largest epicurean magazine, can be found in this edition. Taken from a whole year's worth of recipes, this cookbook features a complete nutritional analysis for every recipe, along with time-saving tips and menu suggestions for today's busy, health-conscious cook. The recipes featured range from quick and easy to upscale gourmet, making it possible for everyone to eat healthy and still enjoy great tasting food!

Editorial Review:

The two Canyon Ranch spas are rated No.1 and No.2 (they alternate positions) over and over by readers of the Conde Nast Traveler. Part of the allure are their stunning locations -- in the hills of Tucson, Arisona, and in the Berkshire mountains in Massachusetts -- but one of the best parts of a visit to Canyon Ranch is the food.

Jeanne Jones developed and supervised the Canyon Ranch menu, and in Canyon Ranch Cooking,  she offers everyone a chance to eat the spas' low-cal, low-fat delicious food. The recipes all have detailed nutritional breakdowns to help you plan a healthy meal with a lot of variety. Perhaps best of all are the tips and techniques to help enhance flavor without adding calories. Why does spa food taste so good when nearly all the fat has been removed? Jones reveals all the secrets -- such as adding citrus or vinegar to lift "flat" flavors; grilling over aromatic wood; marinating meat and vegetables; cooking at low temperatures for long periods to "marry" flavors; roasting rapidly for crispy crusts and tender interiors; using dried fruit for rich and creamy fat-free sauces; and much, much more. Try the Canyon Ranch Guacamole, Osso Bucco and Cheese Enchiladas; enjoy Chocolate Mint Cake and Cherry Streusel Pie. This is not a cuisine of deprivation -- the food is wonderful, and the recipes for making it easy and sensible.

This book can't give you a workout or a hike, but it does tell you how to plan your own spa weekend at home, with suggestions for exercise, relaxation, even theme parties for special Saturday night dining. The wonderful recipes and the luscious photographs are here to delight and inspire. With Canyon Ranch Cooking, the spa comes to you.

Title is good... NOT as good as a cookbook! 1 out of 5 stars.
4 of 7 people found this review helpful.

I bought this book because of good reviews, BUT when I finally had a chance to read the book and check out the recipes, I was highly disappointed. The author listed ingredients, a sweetener, that is not readily available.

By reading a recipe and its ingredients, I can normally tell whether the dish is going to be good, with this cookbook, I just don't see it.

I've tried the Lemon custard, it was unedible!

Good for those starting out in a low fat diet 3 out of 5 stars.
5 of 5 people found this review helpful.

The book gives some good ideas of what you can do for low fat for those starting out. Advanced? It is handy to have the hints in hard copy but most of them I can find on the net.

I got it for husband who has a sweet tooth and a bad heart. He didn't like the recipes from it and he has loved other low fat baking goods that either he [the real baker in the family] or I have made. It had a large number of muffin recipes until I felt as if I was reading a muffin cookbook. That would be nice if either of us liked muffins.

The pie recipes sounded interesting but called for a crust made of fat free graham crackers which is not available in our area. The same with fat free buttermilk. You can't find it here and are not easy to make however the book provides no alternative such as a recipe for fat free graham cracker. That would have been really nice.

It has been stuck on the back self simply because the hints are handy to review otherwise I was very disappointed with the source.

Editorial Review:

Enjoy all your favorite goodies but with none of the guilt with these 130 low-fat and fat-free recipes. The results are scrumptious cakes, cookies, brownies, muffins, pies, and breads.
