Title: Deservedly popular cook book
Review: I didn't realize how popular this cookbook is, but when I mention using it, most folks know of it. The recipes are healthy and pretty well laid out, but like most cookbooks, it often has buried in the instructions something that should've been highlighted at the beginning as a prerequisite needing some prep ahead of time, like "now add the special sauce (see recipe page xx)". Always good to read through a recipe completely before trying to make it or you may find some ingredient or preparatory step that you lack! That said, the recipes are generally easy to follow and most are tasty. The macaroni and cheese and the lasagne recipes are very mainstream and our family loves them. Not all the recipes sound as appetizing or are a little more complicated than I'd like to tackle, but certainly most are good and the book is a great value if you like to cook healthy dishes. I have two daughters who are vegetarian and I'm about 92% there, so it works for us!
