Dietary denial is not part of the American dream! And now, thanks to internationally renowned food writer Jeanne Jones, Americans can have their cake and eat it too-- Devil's Food Cake with Fudge Frosting, that is.

Each recipe is carefully explained with numbered steps, so there's never the possiblity of losing your place mid-dish, and each one includes an at-a-glance calorie and fat savings chart as well as a complete listing of the specific nutrients-- plus lots of serving ideas, recipe variations, storage tips, and cooking hints. Sprinkled throughout you'll also find charming American recipe lore, fascinating behind-the-scenes stories of how the most popular recipes were created. And in addition to her expertly-planned party menus, there's an extensive chapter of 33 amazing dessert recipes that includes Apple Crisp, Boston Cream Pie, and Strawberry Shortcake.

a usefull wedding gift 5 out of 5 stars.
7 of 7 people found this review helpful.

I received this cookbook as a wedding gift 5 years ago and it is the one cookbook that I use most often. The recipies are practical, easy, and I have gotten compliments on everything I have made from this book. It also often gives variations of the recipies for those who like to be a little more creative. I like this book so much that I have actually bought several to give to other people as gifts.

For super soups & stews everytime! 5 out of 5 stars.
22 of 22 people found this review helpful.

This is, hands down, my absolute favorite cookbook for soups and stews. Every recipe (each one triple-tested) is a gem, and I have enjoyed working my way through the selections. I was surprised to find that I could not purchase this book on the Cooking Light or Oxmoor House publishers websites -so I am particularly happy to find it here (at a discount!)as I want to give this book as a cherished gift to special deserving friends. If you love soups and stews, you would be hard tested to find a cookbook offering such delicious and easy recipes -and as a bonus -in lighter, healthier versions, than this one.

I didn't believe it either! 5 out of 5 stars.
14 of 14 people found this review helpful.

This book will totally surprise you. I know something about cooking, so I was convinced that removing some of the butter, oil, eggs, etc., would render many of these sweet recipies inedible. But then I bought this and tried some of these "healthy homestyle desserts" after I bought Tribole's other book, STEALTH HEALTH. All I can tell you is the woman is a magician. And she made me feel like one, too! If you don't believe me, just take her Chocolate Turtle Pecan Cookies to your next church bake sale and watch the reaction.

AMAZING 5 out of 5 stars.
10 of 10 people found this review helpful.

This low fat/non fat dessert cook book makes desserts that taste better than the ones with all the fat and the calories. I give this book 2 thumbs up and highly suggest it. Each recipe has a label telling you the fat and calorie content of a serving which is very helpful. It's a real must have!

Looks Very Good at First Glance - Impressive Size and Qty 3 out of 5 stars.
3 of 4 people found this review helpful.

How can you argue with a cookbook containing 1000 recipes with pictures of ALL of them. At first glance you would say this is the greatest low fat, salt, sugar and cholesterol cookbook of all time. But wait, on page 566, one of many, is a recipe with 630 calories, 38 carbs, 40g of fat and 24g of Saturated Fat considered to fit this criteria. In my mind this is way too much for this type of cookbook. Where is the low salt listing for this item. And where is the low cholesterol listing. I entered the ingredients into my nutritional calculator and find that it has 128mg of Cholesterol and 660mg of sodium. Looking throughout the book salt and cholesterol is not listed on ANY recipe. How do we know what recipes fit the low salt and/or low cholesterol criteria.

It's obvious that this cookbook is not what it appears. It is a compilation of low fat AND low sugar and COULD contain low salt and low cholesterol recipes. The latter two types we really don't know.

Having stated the above, I still think this cookbook has value. Thus I gave it 3 stars. You just have to watch what you are preparing and check the nutritional information for salt and cholesterol yourself if you are trying to limit these.
