I love this cookbook full of super yummy, low-calorie recipes made with mostly easy-to-find ingredients. It is a keeper! Beautiful photographs accompany the majority of the recipes. Each recipe also includes a table listing nutritional information: calories, fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, carbohydrate, fiber, protein, sugars, and sodium. This cookbook includes recipes that are vegetarian, gluten-free, quick, freezer-friendly, and/or made in a slow cooker. There are icons that denote each of these types of recipes making them quick and easy to locate. Unfortunately, there are no freezing or reheating instructions given with the recipes labeled "freezer-friendly".
The first recipe I tried was the Rustic Italian Gnocchi Soup. Hands down the tastiest soup I have ever made. As is true with so many soups it was 10 times more delicious the next day. I immediately tried a couple more recipes from the book and they were very tasty as well. I am excited to keep cooking my way through this book.
While this may not be a great book for beginning cooks, it is the perfect book for those looking to jazz up their recipe repertoire or for those looking for healthier alternatives to some favorite dishes.
