3 of 3 people found the following review helpful: highly pleased, April 7, 2006 Reviewer:scratchcook "cookinscratch" (Bowie, MD United States) - I received this book in Feb., but started with the first week of recipes. Most of the meals have been good, some have been excellent. They seem to be right in line with low glycemic diet guidelines. Several meals that claim to serve 4 didn't serve 3. I have skipped some meals, but have tried several new herbs and vegs. One reservation--not everyone can tolerate chili, cumin, cayenne pepper, and other "hot" food items. Suggestions for alternate flavorings would have been nice. I intend to keep using this book to the end, and then start over again, with my own notes and reminders on each recipe I have already tried.
From Publishers Weekly
Dietician Rondinelli and chef Bucko make cooking five healthy dinners a week—for an entire year—look like a no-brainer in this simple cookbook. They divide their book by month, and within each month, they give four weeks’ worth of main courses (presumably for dinner, though they could certainly make nice lunches). A grocery list begins each week, followed by the recipes, which generally fall under the "continental" umbrella, with Mediterranean, Latin, Asian and other influences. Although no dish requires more than four steps, and prep times range from 5 to 20 minutes per recipe, there are plenty of intriguing dinner options, such as Three-Pepper Pasta Salad with Goat Cheese, or Chicken with Portabello Tofu Sauce. Rondinelli and Bucko also feature one dessert for each month, which are the book’s weakest link, as they often take the easy way out: Cherry Tarts, for example, require canned "light" cherry pie topping. Sidebars give further information on ingredients and advice for alternate preparation methods, and every recipe includes the dish’s nutritional information.
