Book Reviews of Looneyspoons: Low-Fat Food Made Fun!
Book Review: What a fun book to have on your shelf
Summary: 3 Stars
What do you get when you cross animated cartoon-like pictures, low fat recipes, funny headlines and titles, jokes and funny stories? No it's not the entertainment section of your newspaper, but it is entertaining. Two Sister, Janet and Greta Podleski took all of those items and more to put together their fun cookbook, Looneyspoons published by Granet Publishing. The Podleski sisters compiled over 150 "outrageously delicious low-fat recipes" to create this book. Looneyspoons, also has a funny joke on almost every page. For example on the Another One Bites the Crust bread recipe page is a cartoon that says, Wife: "What wrong with this cake, Dear? It tastes kind of gritty." Husband: "Nothing, sweetheart. The recipe called for three whole eggs and I guess I just didn't get the shells beaten up fine enough." Some other recipe titles include: Don't Worry. Be Crabby; I Yam What I Yam; Beyond Be-Leaf Garden Salad; No Peeking! We're Dressing!; It's Only Brocc `n Bowl (with the cartoon "I'll have the turtle soup and make it snappy!"); Chowdown Chickpea Chowda; Much Ado About Nothing (What did the leftovers say when they were put into the freezer? foiled again); Go Ahead, Bake My Bread; Sky High Vegetable Pie; Chili Chili Bang Bang; Lasagna with Mex Appeal (we all have a washboard stomach. It's just that some of us have a little extra laundry on top.); Luciano's Panzerotti; Eenie Meenie Fettuccine; Thai It! You'll Like It!; A Penne For Your Thoughts; Dillicious Lemon Chicken; Grocery Cart Chicken Chili (Did you hear about the boy who drank 8 Cokes? He burped 7-up.); Chicken Catcha Tory; I'm a Sole Man; Happily Marri-nated salmon Steaks; Mission Shrimpossible; Veal of Fortune; "Dressed to Grill" Pork Chops; Pork-u-Pine Kabobs; Glazed and Confused Carrots; All in the Yamily; Cookoo Over Couscous; Dream Team Cream Pie; Say "Cheesecake (Did you hear about Snow White's brother? His name is Egg White. Get the yolk?); Rude Barb's Strawbapple Crisp; Viceless Riceless Pudding (did you he! ar about the new restaurant on the moon? The food's great but it just doesn't have any atmosphere.); and Ross Perogies. Every recipe also contains a "what's in it for me?" section that outline the per serving nutritional information. These two beautiful women have made a really fun cookbook. It may be one of the only cookbooks on your shelf that will not only offer some good recipes, but it will also make you laugh time and time again.
