I've had my copy since it was published (1992). I used it to change my cooking style along with a book called Healthy Homestyle Cooking. I used these books to loose a lot of weight and keep most of it off for 15 years. This book shows how to use plain yogurt, fat free evaporated milk and lots of other items to make great food that is not fattening. I'm a guy and a serious cook - I've bought copies of this book for two of my girlfriends and my mother. I bought this last copy 4-09 because my current girl friend wanted to borrow my copy and I didn't want to be without it. Try the Lasagna noodle rollups, curried chicken breast - creamy coleslaw or potato salad recipe you won't believe how great low or no fat can taste. I own about 300 cookbooks and I still use this book regularly.

There is a diet in the front that tells you what to eat every meal and where you find the receipt I have had this receipt book for years and used it until it is falling apart so I replaced it because when I gain a few pounds I go back on the is diet. There are a lot of good receipts in this book.

My friend Pam cooked me some recipes out of this cookbook and I looked foward to every single one. I really like the poached pear recipe. This is a good book to keep you motivated. There are a ton of recipes and it even has a guide for calculating calories and it really goes into a lot of detail. Plus, the recipes are quick, easy and are very homelike.
I bought this copy for my son and daughter-in-law because it is the very best cook book I have ever found, & I have many. If you are interested in eating healthy and and delicious, easy to fix meals it can't be beat. And the pictures alone are exciting. I recommend it to anyone who loves food and wants to improve their diet and stay healthy.
