I was a little intimidated when I saw the recipes, because some of them have a lot of ingredients. Well, a lot for me, who's more of a '4 ingredients or less' type of person. But they're explained really well, and the steps themselves are simple. The ingredients that I've encountered so far are simple to find, and the results are tasty, simple food. Some of the receipes might be a little too elementary for people who have a clue in the kitchen, but I really don't, so it helps me out a lot. Plus, there's a section for kid-friendly dishes, and another that puts together menus for 'fancy meals' with 2-3 dishes. They're a bit more exotic than the tuna salad and angel hair pasta picatta I've tackled thus far. Oh, and before the section on recipes they have general cooking tips, which is really great. I really like the 'aisle-by-aisle' guide section. It helps to know how to properly store the fruits and veggies I get (and for how long), and what the different health aspects are to different types of fish or poultry or beef, or what different spices are typically used for. So, for me, this was a great book. Now my only problem is I have so many leftovers piling up because I want to try everything!
Terrific!

When I bought the 90/10 Plan, I was excited to find a diet that was realistic. It taught me a new lifestyle. The problem for me has always been cooking. When I make my own food, I have a hard time figuring out the calories and such for what I've put in. And then there's portion control!But, with Cooking with Joy, I've found a great way to make healthy, tasty food that limits both calories and portion. It's been a great help, and I'm keeping the weight off. If you have the 90/10 Plan, this is a must. Even if you don't, it's a great set of recipes to help shed the pounds!
BRAVO!!!

To begin, I'm not a fan of cook books. But now that I'm older with children I really needed an approach to cooking that was fast, nutritional, and tasty. I'm not a gourmet chef but not clueless either. I've tried a few other books and found that over time I mostly abandoned each books approach and guidelines (a few recipes aside) for variety of reasons. But I did need help in the kitchen and wasn't afraid to try something new.Selecting this book on a whim, I delighted to find a practical approach to meal preparation that meets my busy lifestyle. Better, the meals are truly tasty and healthy. Translation - less junk food for the family - less time in the kitchen - less griping at the dinner table. The writing is upbeat and easy to follow and easily referenced - pleasant to read.I rarely write reviews this glowing but in this instance I feel it's been earned - kudos to the authors. This book is presents a great approach to food preparation that is healthy and tasty that fits the today's busy lifestyle. It works both for me and my family. I highly recommend.
