I love Pam Anderson's recipes. They're well done, approachable, pretty and tasty. That said, there weren't enough I thought I'd make to actually warrant purchasing this book. I didn't like how the photos and the recipes were separated. I like my drool-worthy pics next to the recipe so I can see what my end product (might) look like. It's also fun to find your mouth watering and want to make that recipe.
And please, whatever you do, don't buy this thinking it's an actual diet. It isn't...more

I am still using this book weekly. I have learned a whole new way of cooking - efficient, quick, and healthy. Best of all, the recipes are TASTY!! I have learned how to roast veggies better in the oven, sear pretty much all types of meat, and how to do foil meals in the oven! Love it love it love it. My only objection is that a few of the recipes are too"gourmet" for us, but I can adapt most of them.
Pam Anderson made a decision to make a healthy life for herself when she was in her 40's and managed to lose over 40 pounds. Her recipes are healthy and delicious! Her attitude about putting yourself first and taking the time to be healthy is inspiring.
I love the recipes! I love everything about this book EXCEPT the way the food pics are organized. I prefer the pics to be next to the recipe so I can see what I am shooting for.
Really great. I love her variations on a theme. I've been losing one pound a week on her program. (Which, as she states, isn't really a diet but a lifestyle change.)

One of the best cookbooks I've come across, low-fat or not. I use this all the time . . . and if you've ever seen my kitchen, you know that means a lot.
Filled with voice-of-experience tips for curbing appetite (Pam Anderson is still maintaining her forty-pound weight loss), no-nonsense shortcuts for getting food on the table pronto, and recipes that could only have been developed by this food-loving pro-this new book The Perfect Recipe for Losing Weight and Eating Great, offers no compromises, no wasted steps, just extraordinary results from ordinary ingredients.

everything in here is delicious! Not a single bad recipe. I'm HUGE fan of this woman.
Common sense advice (which are really reminders - we've heard it all before numerous times, eat sensibly, exercise) and delicious - easy! recipes. I'm particularly impressed with her method of using evaporated milk in creamy pasta sauces. This is definitely a good reference book for the kitchen.
I love the fact that she gives general recipes, suggested combinations, and then just lists of possible ingredients (like for soup, salad, omelettes, etc.) When I get in food ruts, it's great to open this book and get some fresh ideas.
I'm always on the lookout for good low-calorie recipes for my patients. Pam Anderson is a well-known cookbook author who loves her food and still lost 50 pounds so her recipes should be good. Plus it's currently 45% off on Amazon.
I liked her lifestyle philosophy and the recipes are great too.
My favorite cookbook author of all time!
Many good, easy recipes.
