I've had this book for about a week and I've already made 3 recipes from it. Everything has been delicious and it has been a great read. Even the recipes I don't want to try "as is", I can see being a source of inspiration. By far the best cookbook I've bought and you certainly can't beat the price.
Title speaks for itself

As more information trickles into the media about the pitfalls of the Atkin's diet (coronary heart disease, muscle breakdown, kidney problems), I looked for a cookbook with healthy balanced recipes. I've recently stopped dieting and started following Marilu Henner's "Healthy Lifestyle" approach and this book is a great compliment to the basis of her plan (except for the recipes with dairy and red meat but these can be easily subsituted). You will find that the recipes in Raichlen's cookbook are full of flavor and a great staple to any kitchen, no matter what your tastes. I've tried quite a few recipes since buying this cookbook a couple months ago and every single one of them has been delicious! Under the Marilu plan, this cookbook and Yoga I have dropped 2 sizes in a month -- I'm back down to a size 4!

This cookbook has become a staple in our kitchen. Every recipe I've tried is excellent and I've enjoyed making them for my family and friends. My friends kept asking for the recipes so I purchased extra books to give as gifts. A great resource and is full of many, many great recipes instead of two or three that are in most of my other cookbooks. The most flavorful dishes I've found.
