Great way to get nutritious meals during pregnancy, 27 May 2003
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Every Woman's Guide to Eating During Pregnancy (Paperback)
After checking this book out from the local library, I had to buy a copy of my own. It has been difficult to find food that I am craving during my pregnancy that is nutritious as well. All 15 of the recipes that I've tried so far taste GREAT and are easy to make. Unlike other pregnancy recipe books I had read, the recipes are low in fat and have the nutritional content displayed. They have recipes for different diets as well (low-carb/Atkins, vegetarian, etc.)
During pregnancy it's hard to get all of the nutrition and vitamins that are recommended daily...the authors do a great job of creating delicious and easy recipes that are packed with nutrition. Even foods that I absolutely abhorred before pregnancy such as yogurt or cilantro, I now am able to eat because the dishes taste great. Many recipes I'll be making well past pregnancy (ie., Quinoa Salad with Black Beans and Sweet Red Peppers). Also, my husband really likes the meals that we've had so far and often requests that we have them again.
One good thing is that if you buy the basic ingredients (olive oil, yogurt, etc.) you will be able to make a majority of the meals in the book.
The only downside to the book is that there aren't any pictures of meals after they're prepared.
**Update July 2010**
7 years later and we're still making recipes from this cookbook. We now have a 6-year old and a 3-year old. They're particular about what they eat since I've worked in a French bakery and we're all spoiled by the great cuisine we have in the San Francisco Bay area. Amazingly, they've always liked what I've made from this cookbook. The recipes aren't just for pregnancy, but also for busy parents who want to serve healthy food to their finicky kids.

A really helpful book of delicious substance., 14 Sep 2006
By Ann "girlpink" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Every Woman's Guide to Eating During Pregnancy (Paperback)
I bought this book before the birth of my first child in 2003 and have been referring to it ever since for great recipes and healthful advice. My favorite aspect of the book besides the delicious and easy recipes are the specialized menus in the back of the book. These menus address special issues such as diabetic specific diet or lower carb specific diet for women that need to closely monitor their weight gain during pregnancy.
Now that I am pregnant again I refer to this book almost daily. Each recipe is accompanied by a nutritional guide - you can focus on fiber or omega-3 nutrients - maybe you need more protein or complex carbs in your diet. The recipes are delicious - like the Thai Salad or the Lentil Soup - Sometimes I forget how nutritious these recipes are and SO easy to prepare!
This book is worth every penny (and I am not one who usually enjoys cookbooks without photography). You can use this book to menus for after the pregnancy and well beyond.
