7 of 7 people found the following review helpful: Jane Brody's Good Food Gourmet: Recipes and Menus, September 8, 2001 Reviewer: A readerI am a tremendous fan of all Jane's cookbooks and this one is my all-time favorite. Not only are the recipes easy to follow and delicious, they also really do make enough to entertain friends and family. I have made many of the recipes in this cookbook and many have become family standards. Friends always ask me for the recipe when I cook from Jane's book, and many of these recipes are now standards for their families too! Last, I will add that its easy to be a good cook with Jane Brody!
From Library Journal
Both these books are devoted to healthful eating, but in some ways they couldn't be more different. Brody, the New York Times health columnist and author of Jane Brody's Good Food Book ( LJ 11/1/85), offers some 500 low-fat, low-cholesterol, low-salt recipes. Some are adaptations of food magazine recipes, some come from her readers, some are familiar favorites that have been reworked. Hers is satisfying, homey, but not always particularly exciting food. Many recipes involve long lists of ingredients. Nevertheless, Brody's following guarantees that this will be much in demand. Previewed in Prepub Alert, LJ 6/15/90. Schneider, a former chef, is a food writer and contributing editor of Food & Wine. Her healthful, low-calorie dishes are fresh, imaginative, and visually stunning: Wild Mushroom Ragout with Polenta, Mesclun Salad with Pan-fried Tuna, Phyllo Pear Tart with Fried Raspberries. Although the price may make this a luxury item for some libraries, it's a diet book like no other. Highly recommended.
