(More customer reviews)Good Housekeeping has another winner with "Light & Healthy Cookbook: 375 Delectable Recipes for Everyday Meals." Recipes are presented in 10 different categories: 1) starters & appetizers, 2) soups, 3) pasta, 4) main dishes, 5) salads, 6) sandwiches & pizzas, 7) sauces & condiments, 8) bread, 9) desserts, and 10) beverages. The emphasis is generally on low-fat recipes with nourishing ingredients. Not all the recipes are extremely low-calorie; however, full nutritional information is included (calories, fat, calories from fat, carbohydrates, and sodium), allowing the reader to make informed choices.
The majority of recipes are for straight-ahead, no frills American food - the kind of fare you could easily make on a busy Tuesday night. About half the dishes are presented in full-color pictures. Further adding to the practicality of the cookbook is the relatively small number of ingredients required for most selections. As is the practice with Good Housekeeping, the recipes have been tested and re-tested to ensure reliability and ease of preparation. I've made a number of recipes from this cookbook, and I've been pleased every time. I particularly enjoyed the "Rigatoni with Beef-Fennel Sauce."
In addition to the recipes, a variety of helpful special sections are scattered throughout the book, such as "12 low-fat veggie toppings." Also, handy suggestions for accompaniments are made for many of the recipes, which could be used to develop full meals. As a result, readers could use this practical cookbook to design healthy eating patterns and an improved lifestyle. Highly recommended for readers who enjoy no-fuss cookbooks.
