This is truly a beautiful cookbook with good, tasty, simple recipes, and it was so nice of Miriam to give it to me as a gift. I love receiving beautiful cookbooks as gifts, especially when they contain interesting recipes worth trying. The salads are particularly appealing – the chicken, roasted red pepper, and green bean salad was great! And although I haven’t had a chance to try a lot more recipes at the time of this writing, I will definitely be trying more of the salads.

I love this cookbook, as I love almost any Williams Sonoma cookbook. I need pictures and WS never disappoints in that area. What I love about this book is that, compared to other WS cookbooks, this really does focus on healthful foods. Not everything is low-cal or low-fat or low-carb, but there is a real effort to cut down on bad fats, bad carbs, sodium, etc., and use real, whole foods for a variety of healthful dishes.

I loved this cookbook -- I copied several of the recipes and look forward to cooking! The best part about the book was that it included a guide for how to cook food in a healthy way (what oils are best, the type of preparation and cooking style is best for particular protiens) which takes the book from the level of a basic collection of healthy recipes to a real chef's manual.
Looking forward to cooking a whole lot more.

This series is very well produced and the recipes do tend to work out--just not especially imainative
One of my favorite cookbooks. The pictures alone want me to eat healthy. Versitle enough to, for instance, make a lentil portage without the halibut, if desired, even though they are together as one recipe. No calorie/nutrition information is included in the recipes, just a general "low cholesterol" or "high in protein" description. The eggplant "lasagna" is a favorite.
I'm writing here because of Devon's review. If I recall correctly, there is nutrition information in the back of the book that includes calories.
Good recipes.
