 Finally a cookbook with GOOD healthy recipes! January 17, 2008
30 out of 31 found this review helpful
I've also been waiting for E.K. to release a cookbook, and this was worth the wait!!
Lots of extra advice, detailed information on each recipe as far as nutrition facts and what types of vitamins/minerals are in the dishes. I've made quite a few of these already, as I watch her show regularly, so it was nice to finally have them all in one neat, organized cookbook. I haven't made a dish that I (or my husband or daughter) have not loved.. and with a second baby on the way, healthy eating was the last (and worst sounding) thing on my mind. Somehow all of the recipes truly make me crave them. Ellie is a nutritional genius!

I love watching Ellie Krieger on Healthy Appetite on the food network. All her recipes are simple and healthy. I was so excited when I found out she was comming out with a cookbook. I purchased the book yesterday and sat for an hour lookinng through and tagging all the recipes!
This cookbook is a winner! Its broken down by breakfast, snacks, side dishes, soups and sandwhichs, and maing dishes and ofcourse dessert.
The best part about this cookbook, is it tells you the serving size of each recipe, and the nutritonal facts for each serving and what a serving should be!
Another great thing about this book is that Ellie has written tips throughout the book , whether its cooking tips or health tips! She also throws in a ...did you know...tips every now and then!
Bottom line.....great book, lots of healthy delicious recipes! you wont be dissapointed!
 Bright lights February 29, 2008

My comment pertains to trying to "see" the print. The publisher/designer has chosen "gray ink" instead of black ink for the print, and with my current level of vision, I need really bright lights and close proximity to the page so I can read the recipes. In spite of this problem, I have found the recipes inventive, marvelous, and accurate. Next time have all generations read the mock up of the book before publishing.
The real deal January 21, 2008

This is a great addition to my cookbook library. Ellie is one of the FEW real people on the Food Network ( a BIG nod to Ina Garten as well) and she is the real deal! In brilliantly written recipes and headnotes, she teaches the cook how to eat healthy,discarding the ersatz,the fat free and the fake. She uses real food in novel ways. Some of the stunning recipes I loved so far were the white gazpacho(yes,even in January),the asian summer rolls and ALL of the salads. Ellie shines a bright beam of well needed common sense and delectability aimed at anyone who wants to lead a healthy life.
I Love Ellie! January 23, 2008

I love Ellie and I love her new cookbook. The recipes (each with nutritional data) are delicious, creative, healthful, global, easy, beautiful and, most importantly, they work! Sure, they're healthy, but they are yummy first and foremost...the healthy part seems secondary. Includes lots of tips on making your own recipes more healthful. Don't be turned off from this book thinking it's some kind of diet cookbook or yet another gimmicky book from a Food Network star...it's not. Ellie is knowledgeable, unpretentious, talented and passionate about what she does and it shows. Wonderful cookbook! Wonderful author! Highly recommend it!
