Rating: - Love the book!
I enjoyed the book so much that I purchased another as a gift for a friend. The nutritional information included with each recipe is extremely helpful. The recipes are simple and tasty. I love the chicken cacciatore. Just tried a pork loin recipe and it turned out great.

Rating: - Awesome book
This book as fantastic. Not only are there delicous, healthy recipes but the book includes tips for substitutes, nutition information and a list of items to keep in your pantry. This goes above and beyond a recipe book and the recipes are so delicious and very filling. You can't go wrong.

This book is God-sent! I am so happy that my husband and I are able to prepare healthy meals that are also satisfying. I love that Ellie takes recipes we already know and love, but exchanges some ingredients for healthier ones. In addition, her first few pages of the book are very insightful and for a beginner in nutrition, very helpful as well. She has a great way of presenting information without coming across as being arrogant or self-righteous. In order to reap the benefits of the cookbook, though, you need to be open minded...if you expect her recipe of "Oven-Fried Chicken" to taste exactly like greasy southern-fried chicken, you are only setting yourself up for disappointment. You will need to make a conscious effort to be willing to eat healthfully and accept the fact that greasy, fat-laden foods that are saturated in oil do not have a place in this cookbook. If you are truly ready to begin a healthier lifestyle, then I think you will really enjoy this cookbook!

Favorite recipes so far: Chicken Fingers, Fettuccine with Creamy Roasted Red Pepper Sauce, Whole Wheat Pancakes and Tomato-Tortilla Soup.

Rating: - Glad I ordered this book
The recipes in this book are very good. The oven-fried chicken was a hit with my brothers who love the deep-fried stuff. I was expecting more recipes of common everyday dishes, but what I got was a mix of recipes for comfort foods as well as gourmet type dishes I had never heard of. Wish I had more time to cook using these recipes!
