I own a ton of cookbooks. However, this is the first one that I've owned where I actualy want to make everything in the book. We made our first two recipes tonight (Baked Shrimp with tomatos and Feta and Chickpea and Spinach Salad with Cumin Dressing). The taste was phenomenonal and was both healthy and fresh. I've never actualy like spinach or chickpeas, but my husband made this and I actualy wanted seconds.

I recomend this cookbook if you're looking to eat healthier foods that you will actualy *want* to eat, instead of eating because you just know you need to eat healthier foods.

I bought this book used, but would have gladly paid full price for it. Buy this cookbook. You will not be disappointed!

Many times cookbooks claim to be "Healthy" and then are filled with chicken thighs, fatty cuts of meat, oil, and cheese. The Food you Crave is not one of those books. Everything we have tried in this book so far truely is healthy and delicious. I have been doing weight watchers for years and the recipes in this book are easily adaptable to the plan with very few changes. This book is quickly becoming a staple cookbook in our home.

I gave this book to my wife for her birthday and she loves it! Healthy, delicious recipe. Its the gift that keeps on giving! The only thing that could have been better is if there was a photo with every recipe.

Editorial Review

Do you think that healthy food couldn't possibly taste good? Does the idea of "eating healthy" conjure up images of roughage and steamed vegetables? Author Ellie Krieger, host of Food Network's Healthy Appetite, will change all that. A registered dietitian, Ellie is also a lover and proponent of good, fresh food, simply but deliciously prepared. And she's not about denial--no nonfat foods here, because when you take the fat out of natural foods, in go the chemicals. Don't deny yourself butter--use a pat of it, but put it front and center on those mashed potatoes, so you can revel in it with all your senses. The Food You Crave is all you'll need to change the way you eat and change the way you feel. It contains 200 recipes that cover every meal of the day and every craving you might have. Every recipe contains a complete nutritional breakdown, as well as tips on ingredients and techniques that will keep you eating smart and eating well.
