Book Reviews of EatingWell 500-Calorie Dinners Cookbook
Book Review: Disappointed....
Summary: 3 Stars
I ahve been a subscriber of the Eating Well Magazine for the past two years, so when I saw this cookbook I had to buy it right away. I love to cook (and eat) the recipes in the magazine, so I had high hopes that these would be the same quality recipes to which I was accustomed only lighter. Unfortunately, I have to say that I was disappointed in the recipes when I got the book. Yes it is extremely helpful and convenient to have an entire menu suggested for each recipe, but the recipes themselves are nothing to get excited about. I didnt need a cookbook to know how to marinate shrimp in garlic and lemon juice and then grill... The flavor combinations and ingredients are nothing new or quite frankly interesting for me. I have been cooking healthfully using similar recipes I made up on my own for years. I thought about returning the book, but I have finally decided to keep it to help me plan out menus and possibly make slightly different variations of the recipes I already make. With all of that being said, this would probably make a great cookbook for a novice cook who is just learning how to cook low fat.
Summary of EatingWell 500-Calorie Dinners Cookbook
Do you love food but hate ?diets?? Do you want to be healthy and fit but find yourself too busy or simply at a loss about what to make for dinner? Then this book is for you.
EatingWell 500-Calorie Dinners takes the guesswork out of healthy cooking by providing delicious, easy recipes and menus for dinners that come in at about 500 calories, an amount experts say will help most people lose weight without feeling deprived. Once you try the meals in this book you?ll be amazed at how well you can eat for 500 calories. One night you?ll have a steak sandwich with grilled peppers and a garlicky aļoli served along with roasted red potatoes and a green salad with a tangy vinaigrette, the next night braised chicken in a paprika-spiked sauce over egg noodles with snap peas tossed with a creamy tarragon dressing. Want a glass of wine with dinner or a dessert to end the evening? We?ve included those in our menus too. Try pork chops with an orange and fennel salad along with a side of quinoa and a dish of strawberry frozen yogurt.And this book will help you to do more than just trim your waistline?it will help you to improve your heart health and reduce your risk for diabetes too. It provides solid advice from EatingWell Magazine?s nutrition experts on what foods should be included in any healthful diet, how to figure out how many calories you need, how to determine appropriate serving sizes and estimate calories (without carting around a kitchen scale everywhere you go) and how to lose weight while still feeling satisfied.
