When I'm looking to try a new dish, this cookbook is one of the top three books I pull out. One of the best things about it (besides the awesome recipes) is that it offers suggestions about what other dishes to serve with whatever you're making. It also has a lot of good recipes for vegtables and legumes, which aren't as easy to find in some traditional cookbooks. I also really love that a lot of recipes are more ethnic-not just American style. (And by ethnic I don't mean tacos and pasta)
They have a decent array of healthy desserts-many fruit related.What's best about the dessert advice is that they realize fat, to an extent, is essential in baking. Their recipes do some subsitions for fat, such as applesauce in place of oil, but they also recognize that people want to eat chocolate cake. Their recommendation is just to eat less of something that tastes great but is high in fat and calories.
Overall this cookbook (the AMA really)advocates a sensible eating style,offers basic advice on nutrition. You will find both the standard food pyramid and the Mediterranean pyramid but no fad diet advice.

Excellent Book, Bad Title - S. D. Shaver - Mooville, MO United States
You can't tell from the title of this book just how good it is. It features excellent nutritional advice, smart tips, and recipes that include old standards and new stuff for curious gourmets.
As someone trying to control her intake of cholesterol and fat as well as lose weight, this book is a fantastic springboard of ideas and suggestions. Newcomers will find explanations for more exotic names and ingredients, and old pros will learn tips on how to make their favorite dishes healthier. And those of us watching our weight will find caloric and nutritional breakdowns.
My only complaint would be that you have to do a little math to figure out how much a serving is. This isn't too hard to do, though.
Very recommended!!
