The Healthy Kitchen
Two of America’s most popular authorities on healthy eating and cooking join forces in this inspiring, easy-to-use cookbook. This is not a diet book. It is a lively guide to healthy cooking, day-by-day, packed with essential information and, above all, filled with enticing food.

I was excited at the prospect of this cookbook because I really admire Dr. Weil, his philosophies and his books. Unfortuately the book was a disappointment in many ways.
Many of the recipes are complicated and time consuming. I am the mother of four children and don't have the time that's necessary for many of these recipes. Some examples include; Baked Wontons, Vegetable Nori Rolls, Vegetable Lasagna and Savory Lobster-Mushroom Crepe. These were all multi-stepped recipes.

I was really disappointed in this book. His nutritional advice is very similar to what Michael Pollan writes about, but his personal taste and opinions seemed to have much more sway than they should. I felt like he was saying "I like this and so should you. Oh, and here's some nutritional information why it's good for you." There is also an attitude that I am getting used to in this type of book that I classify as "middle class people with disposable income" about only bu...more
I constantly use about 7 different recipes from this book in our dinner rotation. I agree with other reviewers that some of the recipes have a lot of steps and take awhile …others have ingredients I never have on hand. I do love the fact that Dr. Weil and Rosie added sections about health and nutrition—some of the information I didn’t know so I really enjoyed reading it. Overall I think it’s a good book to keep on hand.
I got this as a graduation present when I finished grad school (at Arizona, where Weil has a close relationship with the med school) and instantly fell in love. Fabulous recipes and thoughtful arguments for eating more nuts, olive oil, avocado, and flax. There's a great recipe in here for broccoli prepared with dijon mustard and mashed avocado that's out of this world. Really good salad ideas too.
I found several spice blends to make in this cookbook plus several healthy salad and main course recipes to try. Checked out at local library...worth the time to read as spice blends are easy to make and can be added to many recipes.
I stopped reading after they declared that couscous was a grain (it's a pasta, made from fine semolina rolled into tiny balls). For heaven's sakes. These people are giving nutritional advice?
Some good recipes. Not all are as healthy as I would like, but most are and all I have tried so far are very tasty.
Enjoyed it. Some good reminders...
Several tasty sounding recipes
This was a decent cookbook with healthy and quick recipes that weren't too weird. There were meat recipes too, which obviously isn't my thing, but overall, it's a good book.

Recommends it for:
anyone who likes to read cookbooks...i promise you the pictures will have you hungry in no time!
I haven't made a whole lot of things out of this cookbook. the recipes call for somethings I have never seen in the St. Albans Kroger...but then I do have a ghetto Kroger...don't get me started. But everything looks so yummy! Not only are the pictures beautiful, you learn a little more about living healthy not just eating healthy. And these two just look so cute on the cover.
I'd love to give this book a five star rating but the baked deserts are awful! However, this was a really great book for learning how to substitute spice for fat. There are at least five recipes that I now make regularly. Best to follow exactly the first time and then improvise. These are man-friendly recipes that will leave your spouse full and happy.
Awesome. I can't wait till I have the money to actually make some of these recipes. I love all of the nutrition information and that they have worked out the nutrition facts for each recipe.
I wasn't really interested in most of the recipes but it was worth reading for Weil's various articles on health and nutrition throughout the book.
Andrew Weil and Rosie Daley recipes book but I like read the fisrt chapter about Andrew's introduction ; Nutrition and health is very informative.

I've used this cookbook many times. The recipes are delicious, except for the clam chowder. Low-fat clam chowder just isn't the same.
Has some really fabulous recipes...great for when you're wanting an extra nutritious meal.
Try the applesauce muffins and the scrambled tofu.
