Hot Off the Grill: The Healthy Exchanges Electric Cookbook

I needed this as much as I needed my George Foreman. Wonderful recipes using items I have in my home. Not complicated, just down home cooking (and unlike the outdoors, my kitchen has air).

I didn't expect much from this book -- so it was even more enjoyable to realize that the book not only was full of recipes geared for my electric grill BUT included nutritional information for most of the elements I have to watch -- sugar content, carbs, protein, calories, fat. I heartily recommend this for people who are trying to eat healthy but find most cookbooks geared only to carbs or only to fat or only to calories, etc, who have electric grills (like the George Foreman) or who are looking for an economical cookbook.

There exist no words to accurately describe the decadence of this low-calorie, common-folk, butter-flavoured-aerosol-grease-sprayed haute-cuisine. Do yourself and your loved ones a favour... memorize this entire book and never, NEVER stray from its pages of wisdom. If God himself were to write an instruction manual to life, this book would be plagiarised. If you do not understand English, learn it immediately so you too can find sanctuary between the covers of this masterpiece. Ms. JoAnna M. Lund is a most remarkable visionary; her voluptuous use of Kraft singles is surpassed only by the wanton references to cultural insensitivity in her recipe titles. The only problem with this magna carta of the culinary world is that it does not come in a miniature form with which I could travel the world, feeling comforted in its oasis of sheer, unadulterated brilliance.

We bought my mother a George Foreman grill for Mother's Day, and she wanted a cookbook too, but Mom's cooking style is best described as "All American comfort food". The available cookbooks by Mr. Foreman and others had too many recipes for Moroccan or Cajun or Tex-Mex meals using condiments that aren't in her pantry. Hot Off The Grill came up when I did a search on "George Foreman Grills" and when I read the names of some of the recipes, I knew that this was the book Mom was looking for! So far she has made some of the burgers and grilled vegetables and they taste great, and she is very happy with the grill and this cookbook. And I am going to buy a copy for myself too ....
