Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Gelles has written a good cookbook with tasty recipes. The reviewer before based her review on the peek inside amazon provides, and unfortunately has based her review on a misconception. Gelles does provide a complete nutritional breakdown for each recipe, but oddly, it's in the back of the book starting on page 362. I don't know why the nutritional information wasn't put on each page with the recipe, one of my Mayo clinic cookbooks does this also, which I find inconvenient and thus my four stars.
It would be much easier to pick up the book, see a recipe, and have the nutritional information on the same page, rather than having to look it up in back. That being said, the recipes are good. I especially like the great shakes section, where she gives several spice mixes that are easy to mix and then shake on chicken or meat for different flavors. The recipes are well laid out, easy to read, the ingredients basic and easy to find in any grocery store.
Gelles also provides alternatives in most recipes to either reduce the fat or the protein. She also gives menu suggestions, such at serve this chicken with the past on page 232 and the tri color salad on page 141 (just an example, not sure of the actual page numbers)
