This is by far the best book of low fat recipes I have ever used (and I have used many!!!) I have made at least 90 recipes and they were very quick and easy. Nutritional information makes it easy to fit into any eating routine, so you always know where you stand. I have even tried some of these out on family and friends without telling them they were eating low fat and they still don’t know- they loved it. Try this book – you will not be sorry.!!

I bought this book after buying All-American Low-Fat and No-Fat Recipes by the same author. I am happy to say the results are just as delicious!!There are so many great recipes in this book. Some of my favoirtes are Chicken Breasts Stuffed with Veggies and Cheese, Pizza Cups, Cheeseburger Pie, and the Veg-All Seven Vegetable Mushroom Rice. The book is light on desserts, but on the up side there is an extensive salad and bread section. This book is invaluable to anyone with a busy lifestyle where a quck meal is essential and a healthy meal is desired. Well worth the cost!

I have accumulated several low fat, “healthy” cookbooks over the years, probably like half the rest of the world. Having owned this one for over five years, it’s showing its wear, because it is my favorite! My 14 year old picky eater son begged me to fix the “Shrimp and Rice Salad with Soy Sauce Dressing” tonight–and I obliged! My family of four will fight over the leftovers tomorrow! Don’t worry about the use of “Brand Names”–often you can easily substitute other brands with equally good results. The recipes are easy, fast, healthy, and definitely taste good. I highly recommend this cookbook.

Although the recipes in this book look like they are tasty, if you analize each recipe you’ll see that they are far from low-fat. The serving sizes are very often miniscule in size and the fat calories are usually up around 50+ per serving.
Examples: Pecan and Red Onion Bread (page 70) serving size 1/2 slice, calories 130, calories from fat 45
Almond Fish Fillets (page 221) Serving size 4 oz. (equal to a deck of playing cards), calories 185, calories from fat 81
Grilled Italian Pork Chops (page 231) Serving size 1 chop, calories 166, calories from fat 90!
One-Dish Oriental Chicken and Rice (page 239), Serving size 4 oz meat + 1 cup rice and vegetables, Calories 339, calories from fat 63
Picadillo Rolls (page 242) serving size ONE ROLL, Calories 299, calories from fat 117!
Salmon Florentine (page 245) serving size 8 oz, calories 301, calories from fat 117
Hidden Valley (R) Club Salad (page 137) Serving size 2 cups, Calories 267, calories from fat 126
Remember that a 4 oz. piece of meat is the size of a deck of playing cards. Yes, there are a few recipes in the book that I would consider low-fat, but the majority are not. As any calorie counter, like myself, knows, the amount of fat per serving on the above examples are often a whole days allowance!
I highly recommend you not purchase this book, but search for a truly low-fat cookbook. This one is great for an everyday meal, but certainly not for those who wish to lose weight.

I took this book out of the library just days after joining Weight Watchers, while feeling as if I would never be able to cook anything but broiled chicken and vegetables ever again! This book has a lot of great ideas for lowfat cooking, including chapters on appetizers, salads, casseroles, vegetarian entrees, bread machine recipes, side dishes, and desserts. Best of all, the recipes are for basic, everyday family food that is easy and quick to prepare and lowfat. All of the ingredients are things you probably have at home–nothing too unusual or complicated. Complete nutritional information is provided, so I’ve been able to use the Weight Watchers Points Finder to figure out how each meal fits into my daily points allowance. I liked the book so much that I bought a copy for myself. My family really liked the Seafood Enchiladas in the Microwave. Enjoy!
