From appetizers to desserts, this first collection of the best of Eating Well contains more than 200 recipes that illustrate the breadth and depth of the Eating Well repertoire: lighter versions of classic favorites, sophisticated dishes for entertaining and intriguing ethnic recipes from around the world. The book is lavishly illustrated throughout with full page color photos by the finest food photographers. The recipes all tested in the Eating Well Test Kitchen - are clearly written for ease of preparation. Nutrition analysis is provided for each recipe. In short, everything you need to turn out delightfully healthful food for all occasions is right here.

I have at least 20 cookbooks and this is the one I return to again and again. The recipes are simple and healthy, yet always taste gourmet...my friends are always amazed at the pizazz these recipes bring. I started with their magazine and quickly went out and bought this cookbook after loving the articles and recipes in the magazine. If you want simple, quick, gourmet tasting recipes, then this is the one for you!

This is one of the best cookbooks I've ever used. I never realized before that you could cook gourmet food that was low in calories and actually tasted good. I can't believe this book is out of print. I have cooked nearly everything in it and was anxious to give it to some of my friends. I keep hoping there is a chance that they will have a new printing.

Eating Well Magazine was a one-of-a-kind: Full of delicious recipes and nutritional articles that were up-to-date and valuable. Now that the magazine is no longer in existence, the Eating Well cookbooks are essential volumes of the collected recipes. Having been a subscriber for seven years, I can honestly say that I have never cooked something from Eating Well that wasn't delicious and low-fat. The recipes vary in their ease (this is not a cooking made simple book) but not in their quality. This book presents dishes from all categories of cooking, from salads and soups to meat and poulty, pasta, sauces, desserts, etc. When I am looking for a new recipe, this book (and the New Eating Well book that is the companion volume) is the first off of the shelf and I often don't have to look further. I highly recommend it.
