The best 4 out of 5 stars.
4 of 4 people found this review helpful.

I own quite a bit of cookbooks, and already this is tattered from kitchen use. My husband and daughter love the desserts in this book. It takes a little extra time but the carrot cake is excellent. So is the Italian pot roast. I'm a tweaker when it comes to receipes, but I didn't with this book!

Loved it for years 5 out of 5 stars.

I have been using this book for several years now. The lasagna recipe and oven baked fried chicken are wonderful. I have made so many of the recipes and they are all very good. Highly recommend.

Too many ingredients 2 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

When making any of these recipes, I found myself buying certain ingredients specially for one recipe. They can get expensive to make. The recipes themselves are not great.

SAVE YOUR MONEY! 1 out of 5 stars.

Thank goodness I only paid a penny for this book. Ok, well the $3.99 to ship it made this book cost $4. I feel like Amazon should pay me $20 for the time I wasted even trying any recipes. I'm sorry but there is no other way to say it but, this book just sucks. It's a long list of ingredients many times, and the end result (along with your time spend preparing it) is never spectacular. I'd say, that several of the recipes I tried could even be called 'craptacular'! For all that effort to be met with disappointment (and family NOT enthused...read: wasted food!) really ticks me off. I'm a good, experienced cook so it's not like I'm not understanding the rocket science if you know what I mean! You can find any one of a handful of great books if you want fat free cooking. This, sadly, is NOT one of them. I also tried this author's fat free baking book and almost gagged on the three things I made. Just...don't go there. Run away, find another book! This one is awful!

Diabetes Cookbook 5 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

My daughter was diagnosed last October with Type 1 diabetes and I've had to revise a lot of my cooking. It has been a challenge, especially having to configure calorie and carb counts in everything I cook. This cookbook is very good in my opinion. Healthy recipes, all nutritional stats included, and oh, my goodness, the Chicken and Sausage Gumbo rocks!! I'm definitely pleased with it.

Far Less than expected 2 out of 5 stars.
0 of 7 people found this review helpful.

I should have gone to a store to look over the books I ordered. I ordered them on a recommendation by those that reviewd them. I'm not happy with either book. They are diabetic cook books and probably will be rarely used, if at all.

This book is absolutely incredible!!! 5 out of 5 stars.
5 of 5 people found this review helpful.

If you buy just one book about Endometriosis, please let it be this one! I have read a lot of books about this disease and this is still the one that goes into the most detail and the best explanation of the disease process. Don't be fooled by the title....this isn't just a nice little cookbook. This is a scientific study into the relationship between Endometriosis and the food, chemicals and substances we consume, and why so many of them are inflammatory to this condition. I found this work to be absolutely fascinating and invaluable.

In fact I was so inspired by it that I flew to London to meet with the author myself for an apoointment and really had a wonderful experience. I found Dian to be extremely compassionate and knowledgeable, and she seemed to be able to finish my sentences before I did! What a great insight this lady has. Because of her I discovered that I had many food intolerances I didn't know I had and cutting them out has made a huge difference to my pain and energy levels. Thank you Dian! This book should be renamed The Endometriosis Bible, because if you are serious about taking control of your disease process, you need to buy this book!

Editorial Review:

The authors show how the right diet can provide the key to optimum health in overcoming endometriosis. Includes delicious recipes, and details the orthodox and complementary treatments available.

Very Helpful 4 out of 5 stars.
5 of 6 people found this review helpful.

I found this book to be very helfpul in my never-ending quest to come up with meal ideas for my toddler that are healthy and appealing to him. The meals really are easy to prepare and I've yet to strike out in terms of my son actually eating the food. I would definitely rec this book for the recipes and tips geared towards younger, pickier eaters.

Mostly Recipes 3 out of 5 stars.
3 of 4 people found this review helpful.

There's a lot of good information here. As a teacher of twenty-five years, and as a parent, I've dealt with more than my share of overweight kids, and read everything that comes along on the subject. And although this book is one of the better ones out there, I've been recommending the CD talk "The Fat Kid's Diet: Stop Childhood Obesity In Your Home," available here at Amazon, to the parents who come to me with their concerns. It's brief, sensible, and right to the point.

Recipe Title "Rice A Roni and Chicken"? 2 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

I can't figure out how 'Rice a Roni and chicken' made it into a COOKBOOK that I paid for.

About the only interesting thing in this book was a recipe for corn muffins with broccoli.

Editorial Review:

This book serves up snacks, breakfasts, lunches, dinners, and desserts that parents will feel good about--and kids will never know are good for them.

I'd give it 10 stars if I could! 5 out of 5 stars.
10 of 10 people found this review helpful.

I'm a South Indian myself and a total gourmand... apart from the classic "Cook & See" series, this is the book that results in the most authentic taste and flavor-filled dishes!

The Cook & See books are translated from Tamil and not very well at that... but the results speak for themselves.

This book, on the other hand, is written in English with good instructions... about the spice level, I think it's perfect but then I grew up eating this stuff!


So if you have a mild palate, I'd easily quarter the chiilies and lessen the spices a tad.

So if you are looking for a well-written book with good illustrations, with authentic flavor, I'd recommend this one!

Awesome Authentic South Indian cuisine 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

This is undoubtedly THE BEST cook book for south indians away from home who are trying to cook memories of hot fresh home made food... Very authentic and detailed and a great result each time as long as you follow the recipe to a T.
Much better than the Lord krishna cuisine cook book.

And the pictures.... its worth it just for the pictures!

Necessary Handbook for the Yeast Sufferer! 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

I was lucky enough to find a physician to test me for Candidiasis after suffering from it for 15 years! However, he had no idea how to treat it so was open to my suggestions. I brought this book in with passages highlighted and he was willing to try the treatment exactly as outlined in your book! This was very recent so at this point in time, I am suffering from the initial die-off symptoms, but that gives me hope that it's actually working!

Very Informative 5 out of 5 stars.

All you need to know about the subject is in this book! Easy to read.

I have been on a food elimination (allergy) diet for three years eliminating corn, wheat, soy, soda, fake sugars etc and have felt so much better! Even lost weight! Still, couldn't find a solution to my depression and lethary - just felt tired all the time. Now I know why. The yeast!!!!! Will take the next step in eliminating yeast from even rice breads with yeast, alcohol, and SUGAR!!! Am hopeful that the elimination of much of the sugar will control the yeast and I will start to feel better. Amazing book!!! Great alternative solutions for over the counter vitamins as well! I'm sending it to my mom and sister too who have the same symptoms!
