"Real" food recipes--great tips! 5 out of 5 stars.
30 of 30 people found this review helpful.

This is a really great book for people looking for freezer recipes--both the kind that you cook and freeze as well as those you want to prepare, package, freeze and then pull out for quick cooking. ALL recipes have nutritional breakdowns for those who have dietary restrictions to follow.

The recipes are for REAL food--not the typically frozen stuff. I was thrilled to find a variation of my favorite Chicken Paprika that was freezer-friendly. And Snapper with Orange Sauce...? Butternut Squash Risotto...? There are chapters for soups/stews/chowders, fish & shellfish, breads/muffins/quick breads, desserts/cakes/cookies--even sauces and condiments!

The beginning of the book has an excellent primer on the benefits and basics of freezing; how to do it withOUT a standalone/comm'l freezer; cutting grocery costs; thawing--including thawing quickly and safely; and planning.

Overall, a really good--and versatile--book for making your life easier when it comes to cooking!!

Editorial Review:

Busy schedules encourage the use of convenience foods, and this innovative cookbook shows how to save money, time, and effort with delicious and healthy recipes made from staples that most people have available in the freezer. 75 illustrations.

Out of 100 eating plans and then some, it's by far the BEST! 5 out of 5 stars.
19 of 19 people found this review helpful.

I read the book and started the plan 4 weeks ago. I exercise aerobically 4-6 times a week, do some light weight training three times a week. So far, I've lost 11 pounds, several inches, and almost two clothing sizes. I sleep wonderfully and have unbelievable energy. The cleanest I've eaten in 20 years.

Tasty recipes for healthy living... 5 out of 5 stars.

This is a must-have companion book to the Lean Bodies program! I cannot recommend it highly enough.

I found the recipes for entrees and side dishes to be the best. Some of the dessert recipes are a bit odd in the ingredients they require.

Editorial Review:

The companion cookbook to the top-selling Cliff Sheats' Lean Bodies offers 350 delicious recipes to go along with the Lean Bodies program, which emphasizes lean protein to build muscle and decrease body fat. Reprint.

Not What I Expected 2 out of 5 stars.
75 of 78 people found this review helpful.

I ordered this book because I really like to cook and love legumes and my pressure cooker. Perhaps I should have looked elsewhere.

The recipes in here are nicely put together with the nutrition information and there is quite a bit of information on legumes. However, I found that there were too many Southwestern Chili type recipes for my taste. If you like to make chili and lots of Mexican and Southwestern inspired dishes this might be the cookbook for you. That is not to say that there aren't some Mediterranean and Caribbean inspired recipes but it just seems that the Tex-Mex and Southwestern flavors beat out the others.

Also, I happen to loathe margarine and avoid it at all costs. I love to cook and would much rather use less butter or a combination of canola oil and butter or olive oil or even an olive oil spray -- anything but margarine. Not only does this cookbook call for margarine specifically, but diet margarine. In the same vein I understand that the author is an M.S., R.D. but I really don't think there is a need to use Fat-Free Dressing for everything. I also didn't like that one of the recipes called for onion soup mix. I have never purchased onion soup mix and try my best not to purchase lots of processed foods. Thus, I get very uneasy when a cookbook uses these types of ingredients.

One more irksome tidbit was the fact that there weren't any recipes or mention of other beans such as the anasazi, adzuki, flageolet, cranberry to name a few.

This cookbook might not be the best cookbook for someone looking for a wider repertoire of legume recipes than your Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook can offer.

Editorial Review:

This collection of 150 recipes using more than 20 types of beans and lentils maximizes the health benefits while offering creative and sumptuous dishes even the toughest bean skeptics will enjoy.

Cajun cooking for the rest of us 5 out of 5 stars.
7 of 7 people found this review helpful.

Low Calorie Cajun Cooking started in Enola Prudhomme's restaurant. She had been making lower-calorie recipies there for family, but the menu contained none of them. When some patrons inquired, she tried putting one or two of them on the menu and met with great success. Today, half of the menu features these "heart smart" recipies. The crawfish etouffee is marvelous!

Great!!!! 5 out of 5 stars.

A clinical dietician recommended this book to me and I love it. She let me borrow it and now I am ordering it as a result. Great recipes. Really like Enola Prudhomme's introduction and how the book came to be.

One of the Best Cookbooks on the Market! 5 out of 5 stars.
4 of 4 people found this review helpful.

Enola Prudhomme's Low Fat Cajun Cooking is not only filled with fantastic recipes. It includes nutritional information on every meal, basic cooking tips for low fat cooking, and cooking techniques for all cooks. This is a fantastic recipe book as well as a necessary reference in my home!

Editorial Review:

If you love the spice that Cajun food adds to your life, but not what it adds to your waistline, then Enola Prudhomme's Low-Calorie Cajun Cooking is for you.

Now you can eat authentic Southern-Style Oven-Fried Chicken, Blackened Catfish, Shrimp and Crabmeat Jambalaya, Crawfish Etouffée, Turkey Sausage Gumbo, or Sweet-Potato Muffins without worrying about calories.

This is the best cookbook I've ever bought! 5 out of 5 stars.
12 of 12 people found this review helpful.

Most healthy cookbooks have recipes that are just too fussy for everyday cooking. This book has recipes that are not only easy to make, but are also delicious. Even my husband, who is usually very suspicious of anything labeled "healthy", loves the recipes from this book. I use this cookbook more than any other on my shelf.

Love This Cookbook! 5 out of 5 stars.

I originally borrowed this cookbook from the library, but we used it so much, I just had to own it! Lots of great recipes that are low fat w/o sacrificing flavor. I have many cookbooks, but I keep coming back to this one for everyday meals! Highly recommed this cookbook--we love it!

Excellent lowfat cookbook 5 out of 5 stars.

The recipe's in this cookbook are easy to follow and taste great. They are geared up to cook at the firehouse, as most of the recipes are for either 4 or 8 people. Some up to 12. Great cookbook:-)

My favorite cookbook! 5 out of 5 stars.
6 of 6 people found this review helpful.

This cookbook has been our favorite for the last couple of years. At first glance, the recipes appear to be too simple to be exciting, but somehow they pack a lot of complexity and flavor into a few ingredients. It is the PERFECT cookbook for everyday after work cooking, but there are also plenty of recipes that you will want to serve your guests too. Their grilled flank steak recipe is a standard at every summer party I throw, and it gets rave reviews every time.

Lowfat Cuisine 5 out of 5 stars.

I am very delighted with the purchase of this cookbook. Due to health reasons within the last few years, I have been adding lowfat cooking to my menu. Holly provides some very lowfat and tasty recipes anyone will enjoy. The Heavenly Cheesecake was a sweet treat to my whole family. A good lowfat cookbook to add to anyone's cookbook collection! I recommend it.

Editorial Review:

Now you can enjoy all your favorite foods without guilt. The book contains easy, everyday recipes that can be prepared in about 30 minutes. Nutritional analysis is included for all 375 recipes. The cookbook also features a wonderful pasta section and great menu ideas. Holly is a frequent guest on NBC's Weekend Today Show and has been featured in Cooking Light Magazine.

Low-fat Gourmet cooking? 5 out of 5 stars.
12 of 13 people found this review helpful.

This book is fantastic. Everything tastes like gourmet cooking.
Some of the recipes are fairly simple while others are not. This book is great for people who love to cook and want low-fat alternatives that taste great. Fair warning though this isn't one of those quickie meal recipe books. It is the best cookbook I own, regardless of the low-fat. It gives tons of information on exotic as well as common ingredients. It is a great gourment recipe book as well as instructional cooking book.
