The cookbook used most often in my kitchen

Time and again I turn to this cookbook to help me decide what to cook for dinner; it is a gem! There is such a wide variety of dishes that are quick, easy, and tasty. The best thing of all, however, is knowing that they are low in fat. I couldn't live without this book! I love to cook the Greek Penne (adding kalamata olives which increases the fat content, but is oh so yummy) when having guests over because it is delicious, easy, and colorful; everyone asks me for the recipe! This book is a great addition to any cook's library!

Have used so often the book is falling apart!

I bought this book about four years ago and have made many of the recipes. Most are relatively easy and fast (especially the chapter on one-dish meals), and although some ingredients you have to look a little harder to find most are available and a lot are things you probably already have on hand. The Chicken Enchiladas and Garden Vegetable Pizza have become standard family favorites and when served to guests I am often asked for the recipes. Oh, and did I mention that the recipies are low fat? I often forget because they taste so good. So happy that she is coming out with another cookbook - I will be one of the first to buy it!

Kudos

I tried about five of the recipes in this book during the Thanskgivng holiday. My entire family loved them! In fact, my mother and mother-in-law ask me to give them this cookbook as a Christmas gift. This cookbook taught me that "fraction of the fat" does not mean "fraction of the flavor."

Excellent recipes, with very few exceptions!

I use this cookbook more than any others I own. EXCEPT FOR the sweets and baked goods, the recipes are easy, healthy and tasty! One standout is the Chinese Noodle and Cabbage Salad -- everyone loves it. Unfortunately I find the baked goods and desserts to be too low in fat -- the muffins come out either soggy or tough because all the fat is replaced with applesauce, and the whole eggs replaced by egg whites. I recommend replacing about half the applesauce with fat (or keeping all the applesauce and just adding a few Tbs. oil), and using a whole egg in place of two whites, for much better results. Also most of the baked goods need salt.

I have shelves of cookbooks and this is my favorite.

Evelyn Tribole does a great job of teaching you how to lessen the fat in your own recipes without sacraficing taste and texture. The recipes in the book are great too - I haven't made a bad one yet ! She doesn't modify a recipe in ways that effect the end-quality of the food so it doesn't taste like a "diet" recipe. Even my picky husband likes it and speaks highly of the book to our friends and family. Lastly, the recipes are usually pretty easy to make - no exotic ingredients that are hard to find. Most things are right in the cupboard! Many dinners can be prepared in a half hour or so. Another good book by Evelyn Tribole is "Stealth Health."
