Product Description:
Do you think that healthy food couldn't possibly taste good? Does the idea of 'eating healthy' conjure up images of roughage and steamed vegetables? Author Ellie Krieger, host of Food Network's Healthy Appetite, will change all that. A registered dietitian, Ellie is also a lover and proponent of good, fresh food, simply but deliciously prepared. And she's not about denial--no nonfat foods here, because when you take the fat out of natural foods, in go the chemicals. Don't deny yourself butter--use a pat of it, but put it front and center on those mashed potatoes, so you can revel in it with all your senses. The Food You Crave is all you'll need to change the way you eat and change the way you feel. It contains 200 recipes that cover every meal of the day and every craving you might have. Every recipe contains a complete nutritional breakdown, as well as tips on ingredients and techniques that will keep you eating smart and eating well.

- Healthy & Delicious
I am immensely enjoying Food Network Healthy Appetite host Ellie Krieger's cookbook, The Food You Crave: Luscious Recipes for a Healthy Life. I couldn't justify buying another cookbook given the size of my collection but it called to me from the bookstore shelves and reeled me in with its more than 200 great sounding recipes.

Just like her show, The Food You Crave, is devoted to helping you make luscious recipes that are healthier. I love her approach to cooking --real ingredients prepared simply enough for everyday, yet interesting enough for entertaining. She proves that healthy food can be delicious--bursting with flavor, color, and aroma -- and deeply satisfying.

Her positive approach to food, eating, and cooking relies on the concept of usually, sometimes, and rarely so no food is ever totally off limits. It's not what you eat once in a while that causes health concerns; it's what you ... Read More

- Easy to make, healthy, decisious recipes
The idea is simple - healthy eating and delicious food CAN be used in the same sentence, and it doesn't have to be hard.

So far I've tried quite a few recipes, most of them turning out tasting great and falling into "I'd make them again" category.

Some of the notable winners include the L.O.V.E Wrap sandwich, Mashed Sweet Potatoes with Orange Essence, and Orange-Pistachio Wild Rice Salad.

Many of the recipes come with photos and all have nutritional and "good source of ..." information.

Overall, to quote some movie reviewers, "an instant classic".

- Ellie Krieger - The Food You Crave
I love Ellie's show on the Food Network. She has such a pleasant style and I love her nutrition information on the foods she is cooking. I have learned so many important things about vitamins, minerals, health benefits of eating certain foods, etc. So I was really excited to order her cookbook. It is just like her show....filled with the kind of recipes I have cooked for years and loaded with interesting nutrition info too. My husband has been a strict vegetarian for over 35 years and I'm always looking for new vegetarian or non-meat recipes that actually taste good too!! I have found several in this great cookbook. I was also very impressed with Ellie's credentials...a Professor of Nutrition at a New York university...wow!! This book is just like an interesting novel you can't put down. Thank you Ellie.

- excellent cook book!
As a person who likes tasty food, yet wants to eat healthfully, I find this cookbook to be a great place to start. I have made several of her recipes such as the meatloaf and mashed potatoes, and the chicken chop suey. Pay attention to your portion sizes, as it is easy to overeat because the recipes have lots of flavor.
I really like Ellie's philosophy that no food is completely off limits, so one can feel free to eat dessert once in awhile!
