Product Description
Product Description
Here are fifty favorite recipes created by Rosie Daley, Oprah's cook -- dishes that Oprah loves because they have helped her to lose weight and to feel good. The recipes are light and low in fat and, at the same time, enormously satisfying and tasty.
Black Bean and Smoked Chicken Soup, Bow Tie Pasta with Blackened Scallops, homemade pizzas, Un-Fried Favorites (catfish, French fries, crabcakes, chicken), a festive Paella, Roasted Duck Breast with Pineapple Chutney, Sweet Potato Pie -- there is no feeling of deprivation eating these marvelous foods, as Oprah testifies in her introduction and in her foreword to each chapter.
Spa-trained Rosie also offers helpful hints about seasonings (Oprah likes things spicy), substitutions, and pretty presentations, which all help to make her food so temptingly delicious. And Oprah, of course, is living proof of Rosie's magic in the kitchen.

AWFUL! Why was this book so successful?
19 Sep 1999
Format:Hardcover
When I flipped through this book in a shop, the recipes didn't strike me as particularly tasty-sounding, but since it was such a hit I bought it -- and my hunch was right! The recipes are ridiculously time-consuming, force you to dirty every pan in your kitchen and buy a lot of commercial spice mixes -- and they taste DREADFUL! A bran muffin recipe that was supposed to be for a dozen (but only made 8) contained a full TABLESPOON of powdered ginger, which would poison an ox. I used only a teaspoon and it was still way too much. Don't waste your money

I don't have hours to cook!
11 May 1998
Format:Hardcover
Hello? Rosie is a professional chef that makes a living cooking for others. I do not have the time or the ingredients to make these recipes. This is a pure Oprah-hype cook book. There are maybe 45 recipes in it and my goodness they take a long time to make. Get real!! Not all of us can afford personal chefs.

Great for those of us with trouble sticking to low-fat diets
23 April 2002
Format:Hardcover
I bought Rosie's book with Andrew Weil (The Healthy Kitchen) and had really good luck with some of the recipes in that book, so I decided to get this one, too. The recipe for "unfried" chicken is worth the cost of the book just by itself!
Some of the other reviewers are critical of the book because the recipes are time-intensive. I really didn't find them to be that much more time consuming than other recipes, but I thought that the quality of the recipes made them worth my time.
I have always had a hard time sticking with healthy eating habits, but I found these recipes to be very satisfying. I'm a HUGE fan of both of Rosie's books!!
