5.0 out of 5 stars Best cookbook I have!
I'm a vegetarian and my boyfriend is a meat eater with high cholesterol and we both love this cookbook. Our favorites are the mac n' cheese, pesto, and the chicken casserole with cornbread stuffing. (The worst thing we tried was something that was even bad -- just boring.) We haven't tried the desserts yet, but I bet they'll be yummy too!The recipes we've tried are all pretty easy (I'm no chef!) and the ingredients are normal stuff you can buy at a regular grocery store. Everything we've tried tastes good in its own right -- not like, this is good for being lowfat. It's actually good.Most important, it's great that we can literally trying anything in this cookbook and know that it's heart healthy and might even help us lose weight.UPDATE: I made the chocolate cake, which is good for being low fat, but definitely not as good as the real deal. The pumpkin pie is quite good. It tastes just like regular pumpkin pie, just w/o a crust.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great reference book as well as cookbook
I was recently diagnosed with the "lower it or we're putting you on medicine" type of cholesterol so along with internet research, I bought this book. I'm a big fan of cooking and this has a TON of great ideas for cooking. I was surprised that things I thought were on the "no no" list were listed in several of the recipes as partial ingredients. I was very excited to learn I could still have cheese (in moderation!)The book categorizes all of the recipes with "low calorie" "low fat" and "low cholesterol." While not every recipe is all three there is enough variety that if you're in the mood for a little cholesterol, there's a recipe that's low cal and low fat to satisfy you (and vice-versa). It also gives you pictuers for things you're not exactly sure about -- like just how peaked the egg whites need to be when making meringue.
4.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous!
My husband and I have both recently been diagnosed with high cholesterol and could both lose some weight. I purchased this cookbook from Bolo.com and have been trying each of the recipes. I have been very highly surprised, thinking that if it was low-fat or low-cholesterol, I would have to saccrifice taste in my cooking. Not so. This cookbook offers wonderfully, easy recipes which are so delicious. It offers nutrition info on each recipe, as well as the time it will take to cook the meal (most under 30 minutes). Every recipe we've tried (and we're going to try them all) has been great. My husband doesn't even notice that it's healthy! The recipes are also very simple to make. I go through the book and make my shopping list from the ingredients of the recipes I want to put on my menu for the week. Some of our favorites have been: The Cajun Mustard Pork Chops, Hearty Beef and Veggies, and Lemon Dill Shrimp. You'll be happy if you get this recipe book.
5.0 out of 5 stars Betty Crocker does it again!
This is a great cookbook! It is certainly up to the standards of other cookbooks put out by Betty Crocker. Having the calories, fat, and cholesterol numbers with the recipes just makes it better. The recipes are clear and easy to follow and the color illustrations are mouthwatering. Since my doctor told me I could no longer make (and eat) my home-made ice creams, I have been looking for a good substitute - I think I have found one in this book: Creamy Peach Freeze on page 208. My friends and I always loved the ginger peach ice cream I used to make - this recipe (with the addition of a little ginger) could be our new favorite!
5.0 out of 5 stars Very nice, just what I was looking for!
It is a great cookbook... the food pictures look yummy....I cannot wait to get started with it... one thing I did notice while skimming the intro was that the food pyramid is already out of date.. but not too old... I really like the menu plans in the back, listing a weeks worth of great ideas.... Being a student on a budget with my galbladder just taken out this should help.....I just hope the food in the store isn't to expensive for ingredients, however, when it says smoked salmon, artichoke hearts and the like, I am sure canned could be a good substitution... thanks
3.0 out of 5 stars Recipe Book to lower fat and cholesterol
This recipe book has some good information on health facts from calories to a food pyramid, talks about dietary guidelines and nutrition facts which I like. It also has menus in here that can help you with diets for Breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack. Each recipe tells you the nutrition information and calories and at the back of the book it has the calorie, fat and cholesterol content of selected food and a substitution chart and more. All that I liked.The recipes are not written that well they list out the ingredients you add and some writing on the side that really does not step you through how to add the ingredient. I made the Campfire Mesquite Beef & Bean recipe which I think it required too much water to be added, the taste was really good but it was just not as thick as I felt it should be so next time I will be reducing the water to add and see if it turns out better.I would say if your a good cook and just need some recipes to help you make dishes to help you reduce fat and lower your cholesterol and you don't need a lot of direction this book would work. If you need step by step instructions along with pictures this book is not for you. It only has some pictures, but it does have some good information.
5.0 out of 5 stars DON'T MISS! UMMMMM GOOD
Don't let this book pass, easy to read recipes( most with pictures) anddelicious tasting too. My husband and I have both lost 6 pounds sinceFeb/08 using this and the American Heart Association Low-Fat, Low-Cholesterol Cookbook, Delicious Recipes to Help Lower Your CholesterolMy grocery bill has gone down since I'm not eating as much red meat (oncea week)The real factor will be if my cholesterol will be down when I goback in August to have it checked.TASTY, EASY AND YOUR GUEST WON"T KNOW JUST HOW HEALTHY THEY ARE EATING!
