In summary: I love this cookbook!! Nearly every recipe has an accompanying color photo and all have complete nutritional information, including dieting exchanges, and a section on menu planning. The recipes contain practical ingredients that REAL people buy in REAL grocery stores!! The collection of recipes covers a wide range of ethnic and continental dishes that are quick and easy to prepare. Some of my favorites are: roasted garlic spinach dip, eggplant and orzo casserole, and twice baked potatoes with ZERO grams of fat!! I highly recommend this book .. try it, you'll love it!
