The Complete Idiot's Guide to Total Nutrition Cooking

I have never written a review for a cookbook before because - up until now - I have not found one that an "I can't boil an egg person" like myself could really USE. But "Total Nutrition Cooking" by Larrian Gillespie really simplified cooking for me and gave recipes that even a "non-cook" like myself can not only understand but - most amazing of all to ME - actually PREPARE! I had given up on trying to learn to cook from a cookbook until my husband (probably out of desperation!) gave me this book as a gift - and after leafing through even just a few pages I found "Total Nutrition Cooking" not only full of important nutriton information but at the same time VERY easy and fun to read - its like having a good girlfriend teach you how to cook food thats not only healthy but yummy too - I love this book and highly recommend it!

This book is so easy to use and has some great recipes! I love the "Fowl Play" section, wonderful tasty ideas in there! I didn't really cook at all before, but this book makes cooking easy and fun! And it is a lot better for me than how I used to eat.

This is the book I've been waiting for. Finally, after all of these years, I now know how to cook a simple yet gourmet, nutritious meal! I'm tossing-out all of my old fad diet books, fad cookbooks, and way-too-many-ingredients recipe books that have littered my shelves. With this Idiots Guide, nutrition, diet, and cooking are simplified in one easy-to-read book. The nutrition information is fascinating, and easy to understand. The recipes are simple to follow, and taste absolutely gourmet. Best yet, I can cook for everyone in the family with different health needs, because the nutrition information for each recipe is spelled out clearly. My whole extended family wants this book for Christmas...from my newly-wed niece who wants to learn how to cook a simple meal, to my overweight friends who want to slim down. Three cheers for Total Nutrition Cooking!

MEN - BUY THIS BOOK! I wanted to cook in ways that are healthy for me and this book did it. This is the only book I have found that is 1) easy to follow, 2) makes great tasting food (gets me complements also) and MOST IMPORTANT 3) shows me how to cook in healthy ways. This is the only cook book I would recommend. It is so easy even guys can do it! Oh, almost forgot, it makes cooking FUN! A great read and a must for EVERY kitchen. My complements to the chef and author!
