   The back of this book boasts, “Yes, it is possible to combine tasty, quick, and healthy!” We’ll see about that. This cookbook comes from the Mayo Clinic, so I really didn’t hold out much hope that it would offer much in the form of “healthy” recipes-and it held true to form! They might be tasty recipes for the stove top and oven, but it’s because they are LOADED with carbohydrates. It’s all about limiting the fat, cutting the calories, and eating tons and tons of carbs for your health. YIKES! We shouldn’t be surprised to see this from the Mayo Clinic, but it’s a real shame to see low-fat recipes dominate a cookbook when there is just as much (if not more!) compelling evidence in favor of low-carb being healthy, too. I guess you don’t get to have that option if you listen to the Mayo Clinic.

   It was a waste of money. I have other cookbook’s by this author which I really like-not this one! Tried 5-6 recipes found them all pretty tasteless. Unless you like really bland food, I wouldn’t recommend this.

   If you want to get more healthy bang for your buck at the supermarket and on the family table, look no further. This is a well-researched and well-rehearsed cookbook with healthy recipes that WORK. They are not loaded up with tons of obscure ingredients. In fact, everything is easily found in the most basic of supermarkets. These are real recipes by real people, adapted by experts to be healthful as well as delicious.

   There’s not much to say that hasn’t already been said, but I agree with other reviewers. This book is THE BEST healthy cookbook I have ever used and believe me I have tried many! There is no compromise in taste or appeal. I started ear marking pages until I realized I wanted to try them all. My daughter recommended it to me and I was hooked. Go for it!
