Editorial Review:

Amazon.com Review:
Betty Crocker is on the health bandwagon. Not one for fads, Betty sensibly bases this 175-recipe cookbook on the Food Guide Pyramid guidelines recommended by the American Heart Association and many other medical and nutrition professional organizations. You learn tips for cutting down on fat and cholesterol, understanding the different kinds of fat, and making smart food choices for heart health. The idea is to reduce fat by making ingredient substitutions and small alterations, but not making drastic changes. The recipes are varied and creative and don't resemble "diet food": Ginger Shrimp Kabobs, Vegetable Potstickers, Stuffed Veal Chops with Cider Sauce, Vegetable and Ham Jambalaya, Curried Chicken and Nectarines, Caribbean Fish Salad, and Thai Shrimp and Rice Noodle Nests. The desserts include Chocolate Swirl Cheesecake with Raspberry Topping (only 20 percent fat!), Blueberry-Lime Torte (about 15 percent fat), and Double Chocolate-Date Cake (about 25 percent fat). Recipes are labeled with symbols indicating "low-calorie," "low-fat," "moderate-fat," "low-cholesterol," and "moderate-cholesterol," so you can choose how far you want to go. Each recipe has a hefty amount of nutritional information: calories, fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, carbohydrate, fiber, protein, vitamins A and C, calcium, iron, and diet exchanges. Cooks who love knowing what the dishes should look like will enjoy the 45 mouth-watering color photos. --Joan Price

Product Description:

Rating: - Best cookbook I have!
I'm a vegetarian and my boyfriend is a meat eater with high cholesterol and we both love this cookbook. Our favorites are the mac n' cheese, pesto, and the chicken casserole with cornbread stuffing. (The worst thing we tried was something that was even bad -- just boring.) We haven't tried the desserts yet, but I bet they'll be yummy too!
The recipes we've tried are all pretty easy (I'm no chef!) and the ingredients are normal stuff you can buy at a regular grocery store. Everything we've ... Read More

Rating: - great recipes
The recipes are easy to make and have ingredients that are easily found in the supermarket. So far my husband has liked everything I've made.
This book would go well with the book "Beach Lover's Guide to the Perfect Sandwich" also available on Amazon.com

Rating: - Low Fat, Low Cholesterol does taste good
I was recently forced into a low fat / low cholesterol diet and was not looking forward to it. Was told my diet was now called "If it tastes good, don't put it in your mouth diet". This cook book has changed that theory completely. It has recipes that taste good and are low in both fat & cholesterol. Have recommended this cookbook to several friends and family if they want to eat healthier.

Rating: - Good Solid Cookbook
You can tell the recipes in this book have been kitchen tested, because they are good. Everything I've tried has been great. The recipes are modified for a low cholesterol diet so they are different from your standard recipes, but good nonetheless.
