Almost Exactly What I Was Looking For.......2007-10-11

I was looking for a cookbook that follows the guidelines of South Beach Diet and had quick, easy recipes for a busy lifestyle. This book is full of them! It doesn't have a lot of recipes for Phase I, which was a little disappointing. I think it's most important to hook people with good food during Phase I, otherwise they never make it to Phase II. Everything I've cooked so far tastes very good. The variety of recipes and ingredients is impressive. It goes very far to show that just because you're dieting doesn't mean you can't have tasty food.

The South Beach Diet Quick & Easy Cookbook.......2007-09-24

If you are on a low or no carb diet or just want to eat healthier, this is a valuable tool.

Perfect Cookbook for South Beach Quick Meals!.......2007-09-24

This book is exactly as described. It has recipes that we have already used more than once! It is the only cookbook I have been using since we received it in the mail!

It is Good, But is it Complete?.......2007-09-20

There is a lot to The South Beach Diet that makes it so popular, and this cookbook makes a perfect addtion to the diet book. However, I think that we in North America, while chasing the perfect body, forgot about what really matters - the perfect health.

I am a creature that trusts everybody, but not without a dose of skepticism. Therefore I always make a point of trying new approaches on my own before expressing any opinion. After going trough The South Beach Diet I realized that Agatston is just updated version of old Atkins. Although these two low carb approaches certainly bring good results from the point of loosing weight, I am not really convinced that this is what one needs to focus on. First of all, it is a hard diet to follow, and sooner or later one is bound to break some of the rules. Secondly, I find that in a healthy diet we need carbs the same way as we need fats and proteins.

Out of all approaches to losing weight, the one that makes most sense to me is presented by Dr. Tombak in his book "Can We Live 150 Year" Using simple language he talks abut all aspect of health and longevity. Following some simple food combination guidelines, and not letting your stomach direct your actions are the basic things that one needs to do. As the author advises: "Eat to live instead of living to eat!" I think that this is the most important thing when considering nutrition. South Beach Diet is good and working, but Agatston missed this one point...

good addition to the diet book.......2007-09-14

This cookbook is a good supplement to the book. It provides a number of tasty alternatives that were fairly easy to prepare.

food my husband will actually eat.......2007-10-11

If you are tired of buying a cookbook only to find 1 or 2 items that you will actually make, then Quick Fix Meals is for you. I was delighted to find lots of recipes that my husband and I enjoy that do not require a lot of specialty ingredients which can be difficult to find living in a rural area. I am really pleased with this cookbook and look forward to buying more Robin Miller titles in the future.

Practical and Delicious.......2007-09-09

I bought this book for my mom, read the recipes and had to buy it for myself. I love the recipes that begin with a big item that can be used for different meals over the following 3 days. As a working mom, these recipes have made meals so much easier!

I haven't gone completely through this book yet. I like what I have read. This is my first book purchased written by robin miller. I have all of paula deens and rachael rays books. I love to cook. Robin has many good ideas.

Excellent Resource.......2007-07-09

I was quite surprised when I bought this book how much information is given for each dish. Nutrient content as well as calories per serving. One of the best things about this book is the diversity it offers. So many different ethnic based foods. I definitely recommend this book for those who are health consious and also wanting to try great food every night.

Good stuff.......2007-06-27

I got this book because I loved - EatingWell Serves Two: 150 Healthy in a Hurry Suppers so much. This book is close to as good, but the portions didn't work as well for me.
Most seem to serve 3 to 5 people depending on your hunger level. Make sure you have a good side dish however and it is the perfect book for finding something great and healthy to cook up for company.
Very easy to follow and the dishes are simple without to many odd (read hard to find) ingredients.

Practical but very pedestrian.......2007-05-16

This book disappointed me. I've used Eating Well recipes in the past and have always been very pleased. The recipes in this book, however, are very pedestrian and geared to a novice cook. Quick cooking -- the kind that can be completed in 45 minutes -- can still be interesting and inventive. These recipes were just practical. Still, it's a well done book with nice photographs, and the health information is useful. I wish there were a real dessert section, though -- because desserts *can* be made in 45 minutes or less!

Healthy and dependable.......2007-05-12

I have been using this cookbook a lot. The recipes are healthy and dependable (they turn out the way they're supposed to). It provides the variety I need when looking for low-fat recipes. It is comparable to some of the Weight Watchers cookbooks, such as Meals in Minutes.

Not for an average Joe.......2007-04-10

Has some neat ideas and recipes but not for a larger family or for your average Joe. It uses a lot of ingredients that most have never heard of or can't get a hold of or wouldn't want to use anyway.

This book is not bad.......2007-08-23

I like this book, its just what I needed but I wish the author could've provided pictures of the recipes, that would've made it more exciting. Overall, I would recommend this book.

If you have tons of time, money , effort OR are looking for fresh ideas, this is okay.......2007-03-09

I am home all day and have lots and lots of experience in cooking all kinds of foods ranging from easy to very difficult. While the recipes in this are not super difficult, this is not a cookbook for most of us.

Personally, I got this book to make dieting EASIER. I wanted a list of things I can throw together for 3 meals a day, and end up with about 1200 calories no matter which I picked from each meal choice. This book, doesn't do that.

For example, for breakfasts: individual fruit platters with hot popovers (huh?) or Fresh Banana-Oat Bread and vanilla yogurt with sliced fresh peaches. Geez! That is a lot of work for BREAKFAST!

Lunches: Curried Tuna and Pecans in Pita Halves with Ambrosia Fruits. Sure Or Wild Rice-Sausage Chowder with fresh tomato
I mean, I have all day, and I'm not making this for lunch. Dinner, maybe.

Dinner: Snapper on a bed of spinach-cheese sauce, basil baked tomatoes and gingered rice. I'm exhausted just thinking about it.

If you want NEW and FRESH recipe ideas, this really is a great book, so I gave it three stars. But for most regular joes, this is not a great book,recipes are too complicated and if it's too much effort to just eat every day, folks will drop their diet and eat pasta and chips instead.

Measurements.......2007-01-31

I too thought that this book would be a big help to one person on a diet or with a restricted diet. Maybe if the portion amounts, sizes (e.g., 1 cup or 3 oz.) were added it would be more helpful. As it is all the recipes say for four and so I guess you make the recipe and then measure the entire amount and divide by four to get the portion amounts. There are also no carbohydrates listed. I was disappointed.

Quick & Easy Recipes is very true........2007-01-17

These recipes for the most part have items you would already have at home. They are simple and very good. My husband and I have enjoyed everything we have cooked. To me, this is a must have if you are trying to either lose weight or just trying to stay healthy. I wish she had more that I could find.

Seems Good, but Isn't..........2007-01-15

I thought this cookbook was going to be great to help me eat 1200 calories a day. Unfortunately, the recipes in this book are so unusual for lunch and dinner that I didn't even attempt them. If you're cooking just for yourself, it's probably fine, but don't expect your family to like dappling in recipes such as rolled ham with cream cheese and sweet red poppy fruit-lettuce platter.

I'm glad that I bought the American Heart Association Low-Calorie Cookbook: More than 200 Delicious Recipes for Healthy Eating. You can still manage your 1200 calorie diet using this book and the recipes are much more down to earth than this cookbook. You can read my review on that cookbook to get a better idea of what you can make for a meer 300-400 calories a meal. PLUS DESSERT!!!

Cute book, not very helpful.......2007-03-21

The folksy advice and complicated concoctions in this book seem to be more fantasy than reality. They call for more ingredients than you'd find in any grocery store, and in order to make these juicy refreshments, you have to have a wide variety of juices on hand. Not to mention a dozen appliances for blending, chopping, squeezing and processing the ingredients they way the book describes.

I was hoping for something that said "juice 2 apples, a stalk of celery and a bannana." But this book says something like, "blend 1.5 oz. apple juice, 3/4 oz. of celery juice, and 3/4 oz of banana juice." It doesn't suggest how much of each fruit you need on hand to make the desired amount. It doesn't even focus on Juicing, which is why I bought it.

Looks cute on the bookshelf, and that's where it will stay. UN-USED.

make it a double.......2006-11-13

This is one of the best juice books I've come across in my thirty years of juicing. The recipes are innovative, easy and delicious. If you are planning any kind of cleanse (fast) get this book first. It will make the process more enjoyable and productive.

Excellent choice for the big and quick jobs.......2006-11-10

This is unit is the ideal machine for really big and quick jobs. Its powerfull motor can handle just about anything you toss in there. A bit on the noisy side, but well worth it because of the speed.

2 Green Drinks and Juices perday will make your day.......2006-03-19

This book is a wonderful collection of healing
drinks and energizing fuel for the body.
It specifically outlines drinks for each particular
ailment and juice recipes to remedy the problem.
Why pop a pill you cannot digest like eating a rock
when you can enjoy a fresh homemade juice drink to
awaken your soul and tantalize your tastebuds.
This is an excellent book which I have recommended
to several people who juice for their health and
enjoyment. Enjoy life....a pill is no fun.

Very Tasty Book.......2006-02-25

I like all of Steve Meyerowitz' books so of course I like this one too. Good info, but I wish there had been more info, and many very tasty juice combos.

I like the overall menu plan she does for each season, but, here in Hawaii, we don't really have "seasons". The concept is good, though.

I am the busy mother of a toddler and also a subcriber to Aviva's Six O'Clock Scramble weekly newsletter. I am also the owner of many, many cookbooks and this is my favorite one for easy weeknight meals. All the recipes are healthy, use fresh ingredients (no canned soups), and always turn out great. The recipes are so good that I even use several of them for entertaining (Spiced Chicken with Maple Butter Glaze and Warm Chicken Salad with Mixed Greens are two of our favorites). I highly recommend this book as well as the Scramble newsletter!

Best Cookbook Ever!.......2007-08-23

This is the best cookbook I have ever tried (and I have tried a LOT!). Finally, a cookbook that is so easy to use, complete with online printable shopping lists, and the food tastes great! My picky 3 year old eats it, my gourmet-cooking husband loves it and I do too. The recipes are healthy, delicious and easy to prepare. Yes, you can prepare food fast without it being processed, who knew?

Everyday Cookbook.......2007-08-17

I've used this cookbook every day for two weeks now and every recipe was a hit - even with my 2nd grader. The recipes are simple, healthy, quick and tasty. I love that there are lots of vegetarian options that don't involve obscure grains and tofu.

Great cookbook for everyday use!.......2007-06-10

This cookbook has everything, from easy recipes you can throw together at a moments notice to more complicated but still fast and do-able recipes for get-togethers. I'm a novice at cooking and this cookbook gives me the confidence to cook more often!

This is a great cookbook for anyone who wants to eat healthier, but doesn't have a lot of time to cook. The recipes can be made in a half hour or less. My favorites are the Szechwan Peanut Sauce which is great on noodles and veggie stir fry and the Taco soup.

nutrition.......2007-07-05

Remember the little heart seal the usda allowed to be placed on food products like margerine.Registered dieticians missed that one. Mcdougall who always does his homework did not get caught on that one and neither did I.
I have taught science and nutrition for more than 25 years and the mavericks like Dr.McDougall, Campbell, DR.Esselstyn and Pritikin have impressed me because their ideas are always based on the BEST available science. This book is truthful and insightful and could possibly save your life. In McDougall's other books he is fearless in his report on heart disease and other degenerative diseases and how it all relates to nutrition.
"The way we look at smoking today is how we will view the western diet in the future",the time has arrived to get that message out and all of the McDougall books take a step in the right direction. Even with my background I found this book of great value. Whenever I council people on health I just refer them to one of his books. That shows a great deal of confidence in this pioneer. McDougall from what I can tell is not a vegetarian for philosophical reasons but rather health isuses and with the rising cost of health issurance we better listen to his message.

The Mcdougall Quick & Easy Cookbook: Over 300 Delicious Low Fat Recipes You can Prepare in Fifteen minutes or less.......2007-01-10

This is another excellent vegetarian cookbook. I feel so much better at not eating meats, dairy, white wheat/rices. The McDougalls cookbooks have helped me use some of my own recipes and get ideas from theirs.

Love It.......2007-01-05

I love this cookbook as well as Mcdougall's other books. The recipes are simple and delicious! No meat or dairy products used in any recipes.

The Follow-up.......2007-01-04

After reading "The China Study", we asked ourselves, "How do we make this change to being vegan?" This book was the follow-up answer that jump-started our new diet. Contains a lot of helpful information besides the very simple and quick recipes. In our zeal, we have bought and passed on many copies of this valuable book.

Book Description

Somersize the fast and easy way and lose weight by eating delicious, home-cooked meals that are perfect for the entire family!

For more than ten years, Suzanne Somers has been preaching, “Fat is your friend and sugar is the greatest enemy!” Her Somersize program lets you shed pounds by eating rich, flavorful foods like meat, cheese, cream, butter, and eggs. Medical professionals are now saying what Suzanne and millions of Somersizers already know—the best way to fight the growing obesity epidemic in this country is a diet higher in proteins and real fats, and lower in sugar and carbohydrates.

More than 3 million readers have lost weight the Somersize way after reading Suzanne’s New York Times bestsellers Eat Great, Lose Weight; Get Skinny on Fabulous Food; and Eat, Cheat, and Melt the Fat Away. Now, in her new book, Fast and Easy, Suzanne makes Somersizing simple, affordable, and fun for the whole family. Whether you are too busy to cook or worried about feeding your family a healthy meal on a budget, Somersizing is the solution. In Fast and Easy Suzanne teaches you what foods your body converts to sugar and why you need to eliminate them. She outlines her weight-loss program for life, where you’ll forget how to count calories, fat grams, or carbohydrates and simply enjoy delicious foods with no weighing, no measuring, no portion control, and no deprivation. Here you’ll find more reasons to Somersize, including:

* How Suzanne’s balanced weight-loss plan is just what the doctor ordered
* How to heal your metabolism from years of yo-yo dieting
* How to convert your body to a fat-burning machine
* How obesity is a growing family problem and how Somersizing can stop it
* How to make meals in minutes, and Somersize products that make it even faster and easier to stay on the program
* How SomerSweet allows you to say good-bye to sugar without saying good-bye to sweets
* Moving, motivating testimonials from enthusiastic Somersizers
* Answers to more than 300 of the most frequently asked questions about this remarkably effective and sinfully delicious program

And, of course, Suzanne treats you to more than 100 new fast and easy recipes that will delight everyone in the family, including Turkey Taco Wraps, Somersize Double Double Cheeseburgers with Fast and Easy Onion Rings, In a Hurry Beef Curry, Cherry Chocolate Trifle, and Boston Cream Pie Cake, plus hometown favorites like Somersize Shake It and Bake It Chicken, Somersize Macaroni and Cheese, Baby-Back Barbecue Ribs, and much, much more.

As always, Suzanne Somers has a fantastic cookbook with delicious recipes. Her diet is so easy to follow and the foods are so satisfying. It is a method easy to apply to daily living with minimal rules. Have lost the weight I wanted and am already on Level 2. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

All of Suzanne Somers' books are excellent. This has the easiest recipes. I love to eat without counting calories or portion sizes. I eat till I am full. I have lost 15 lbs in two weeks while eating delicious real food.
I recommend you purchase ALL of Suzanne's books. Each one has different recipes and the forwards are different also. The Forward to GET SKINNY is the best. GET SKINNY IS A MUST. All of Suzanne's books are a MUST. For the first time in my life I have hope that I will be SKINNY and HEALTHY one day.

When I see Suzanne Somers I just see Chrissy from Three's Company and all that snorting and dumb blonde-ing! I never paid any attention to any of the Suzanne Somers books because I figured this was just another celebrity attaching their persona to something. My library happened to have this on the shelf and since I had some time to kill while waiting for my daughter to pick out her books I decided to flip through the recipe section since I knew it was a low carb type of diet and I do atkins. I was very interested at what I saw so I checked it out. I have been totally shocked at how easy and terrific her ideas are and in fact her philosophy is quite interesting too. I am really impressed. I have a totally different viewpoint now of Suzanne Somers. I love this recipe book so much I had to buy it so I"d have a copy.

Great book, great recipes!!.......2004-06-07

My husband & I just started the South Beach diet. Since Somersizing is a very similar concept (similar to Atkins too), I thought I'd check out these recipes. The book explains the concept of cutting out sugar & sugar forming carbohydrates (anything containing white flour). I looked into the other somersizing books & this one really has the best recipes. So far I've only tried a few & they were very delicious. The cream cheese pancakes & balsamic dijon chicken are yummy. I also bought Somersweet, some of the recipes call for it, but you can use Splenda or other sweeteners instead. All of the recipes in this book are appealing as well as healthy. And they are fast & easy to make.

A "scratch" cook who loves this book!.......2006-02-10

I have always loved to cook. I also love to make things from scratch, so normally I wouldn't look for a book such as this. However, in anticipation of purchasing a home in the country, at least 15 miles from a grocery store, and with gas prices soaring, I decided to check this out of the library after doing some homework online. I picked this book up today and within an hour I had made, and my family consumed, the corn chowder recipe. I was expecting that "canned" taste what with the evaporated milk and cream corn but it was actually really good. Bread and a salad rounded out a nice meal. Before I decide to buy a cookbook, I make a list of all of the recipes I would be willing to attempt to serve my family, and if the list is at least 75% of the total recipes in the book, I find it worthwhile to own a copy. There are only about three or four recipes in the this entire book I wouldn't try and even then, I am only opposed to those because they use ingredients that can't really be replaced that someone in the family doesn't like, like the mushroom pate. Overall, the recipes are simple but elegant and would be easy to use for entertaining. This is the kind of cookbook that can appeal to almost anyone and is very helpful if trying to stick to a small food budget, many of the ingredients in this book can be purchased in bulk or at stores like Aldi. Five stars all the way, this may be one of the best cookbooks I have used lately.

Love this one, I'm "on the go" most of the time and this book enables me to have quick and really good meals. The Baked Crab Cakes are outstanding. Grab this one if you want good food that take less time and taste like you spent hours in the kitchen.

Excellent!.......2005-07-27

A busy woman's stand-by. Make sure your pantry is well-stocked and you'll always have the means to make a good dinner. My kids especially enjoy the Spanish Rice and the Quiche. A cookbook well worth having.

Super- a busy mother's secret. .......2005-04-21

This book is excellent. It provides easy to follow recipes using canned ingredients that turn out great. The recipes require simple easy to find ingredients. It saves time cooking and yet the meals are delicious and full of nutrients. There is not one meal I have cooked out of here that my kids have not enjoyed or my husband not liked.

I have actually put together a box of meals on the go- that is meals that can be done at the last minute and cooked by my husband or older children. They all come from this book.

Well worth the money.
Enjoy.

I can finally cook dinner every night!.......2004-08-17

I saw this book featured on a Food Network show and thought "this is for me!" It was certainly worth a try. I am busy mom of 3, and dinner just never ends up being a priority. Cooking is not my thing, and making time for shopping and food prep is tough for me. The recipes from this book are simple and most come right out of the pantry... saving me the trouble of cleaning out my fridge of all the spoiled veggies from meals I never got to make. And you'd never know that the entire meal came out of cans/boxes/jars from the pantry.
I made the easy fudge recipe and took it to a party where it was a big hit (and SUPER quick to make).
Not everyone has the same issues I do in the kitchen, and I know many other moms who make elaborate meals for the families every night. This books is not for them. But I love this cookbook, it's like it was made especially for me!

A Very Good Starter.......2007-06-27

I purchased this book for my nephew to help him with cooking his meals instead of wasting his money on junk fast food and it seem to help with all of the recepits inside. Anyone who buys a slow cooker will find this book helpful.

crockpot book .......2007-05-07

I prefer to look up recipes on the internet. The book is okay.

Good book, nice pictures.......2007-03-17

A lot of new good ideas. I mostly look for recipes on the internet but it's hard to find new ideas there, you have to know what you're looking for. This book has several really neat ones, layered several course dinners such as herbed chicken, sweet potatoes and stuffing which was a really big hit and so easy to do.

Great book.......2006-03-24

I like this book, being new to the crock pot scene I didnt have any real recipies and this book allowed me to try new things and start making great food.
My only qualm would be that it has a good amount of recipies that are out of the box and too different for my taste. The good recipies make up for it though.

It's okay.......2006-03-19

Most of the recipes are pretty good and at least worth trying. It provided nutrition information and nice substitution suggestions for each recipe, along with a section on meatless meals. I have found that everything seems to overcook for me, though I am not sure if that is a crock pot problem or not, however most of the things I have made taste pretty good. Just be warned, NOTHING will come out looking as good as it does in the pictures, and there are beautiful pictures for each recipe in this book, but experience tells me that meats, especially poultry, just doesn't come out like they show, and neither do vegetables; that is just the nature of slow cooking.

All in all, a great beginner's book, good information at the beginning about crock pot cooking, but I am ready to move on.
