His Minimax series on TV inspired me to try this book. The recipes I have served to guests have been met with differing results. At a dinner party, they didn't feel the Cheesecake with Figs was appetizing at all, while the Swedish Meatballs were a Hit. The Sloppy Joe recipe with ground turkey and bulgar wheat flavored with de-alcoholized wine (I used real stuff) is the very best I've ever had!What I especially enjoy about this book is the wonderful commentary he gives on prep hints and blow-by-blow how to cook. The cost estimate and time estimate are neat features as well.Great color photos adorn the recipes.

This book provides some good techniques for reducing fat in cooking without sacrificing flavor. My family especially likes the versions of Rogan Josh, Moussaka, and Spaghetti Carbonara. The techniques, such as lower fat ways to thicken, or lower fat ways to handle eggplant, are great, and easy to apply to other dishes. Full nutritional info is given, both for the "classic" versions of the dish, and the "Minimax" recipes, so that those trying to follow a careful eating plan can do so.
