5.0 out of 5 stars Great Ingredients, Simple Preparation, Tips for Saving Time, and Tasty Experiences for Losing Weight and Being Healthier, 12 Jul 2007
By Professor Donald Mitchell "Jesus Makes Me a P... (Boston) - See all my reviews
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)      
Think of this book as Rachael Ray meets the South Beach Diet. Every dish is simple to prepare and healthy.

If you know of more tasty, easy-to-prepare dishes that are healthy and support a lower weight, you'll eat better. My suggestion for you is that you acquire all the South Beach Diet cookbooks you can. The Taste of Summer Cookbook will be one that you'll cherish because the recipes take great advantage of the fresh foods available at low cost during the summer.

My experience with the South Beach Diet has been just amazing. Follow the diet, and the excess weight effortlessly disappears. Add quantities of foods unapproved on the diet, and the weight piles on like magic.

This book came along at just the right time for me. I was ready for some taste variations from what I normally eat to lost weight on the South Beach Diet. I feel very motivated to try these dishes and to drop the foods that I shouldn't be eating!

I thought the weakest part of the book came in the breakfasts. But that limitation is more than made up for in the great choices of soups, sandwiches, and salads for the rest of the day.

There are separate sections for seafood, poultry, meat dishes, and vegetarians so you can match your protein sources to your taste and health preferences. If you are like me, you'll be thrilled to see the many suggestions on page 11 to add even more flavor.

Each recipe tells you how long it takes to prepare, marinate, cook, and rest before serving. You also find out which stage of the diet the recipe fits. You'll also learn how many people are served. Naturally, Dr. Agatston gives you the per-serving quantities of calories, fat, saturated fat, protein, carbohydrates, fiber, and sodium.

The book contains lots of good suggestions for preparing ingredients in advance to make it easier to serve future meals.

Here are some of the recipes that most interested me:

Chilled roasted red and yellow pepper soup with avocado salsa
Canadian spiced chilled tomato soup
Curried summer squash soup
Cucumber soup with grilled shrimp and dill

Sweets

Nectarines and plums with blue cheese and hazelnuts
Chocolate cherry truffles

Peach pops

Beverages

The book concludes with sample meal plans for phase one and two of the diet.

If you are like me, you'll be thrilled with the many gorgeous photographs that make the dishes come to life. Seeing how to present the dishes will make your cooking turn out to be even more appealing.
