Tasteless, boring recipes by jaime629
This cookbook has a good premise, but where it fails is delivering anything that tastes good. Other healthy cookbooks deliver much better recipes. For example, one spinach dish called for steamed spinach, throw on some sesame seeds, and drizzle with soy sauce. This is something anyone can do, but the results are not very good and you wouldn’t want to make it again.
Great tasty & basic healthy recipes by Amy B. Donovan
I am a foodie, and I sympathize with the readers who thought this book was too basic. But it has been a great find, as I am a foodie married to a REALLY unadventurous eater. The recipes here are not fancy, but they are pretty consistently good comfort food. They’re also healthy without relying on any bizarre diet-y substitutions. I have grown especially addicted to the Cincinnati Turkey Chili, which is now my go-to dish for casual pot-lucks. (It also freezes beautifully for brown-bag lunches.) The Deviled Chicken is easy and tasty. Best of all– my husband will eat the recipes from this book.
Worth the $ by Andrea
This book is great for someone who is just learning how to cook. Most dishes seem easy to prepare and are just the right portion since most cookbooks usually list ingredients for 4 servings.
Contrary to the title, it’s too much fuss by Jessie T.
I own several “quick and healthy” cookbooks and this is how I do my meal planning. I only cook for two, but I’ve found that this cookbook just doesn’t do it for me. I think that most of the recipes are *too* healthy for the average person - they just don’t sound good. Additionally, I find that the ingredients are often expensive and sometimes unknown to me. The “for two” option isn’t helpful for me either, as it often calls for uncommon ingredient portions anyway, so I’d be just as well off converting an existing recipe to serve fewer people.
The book offers a handful of pleasing recipes and some good healthy cooking tips, but I don’t think it’s worth the purchase.
