Great recipes with foods that won't weigh you down. I highly recommend this book. A great addition to any kitchen.
RATING: 3.5 STARS

I have not yet had a chance to cook anything from this book, but there are some mouth-watering recipes that I have highlighted. The pictures in this book are helpful but are not that great. I picked this book because it also had some health benefits behind these recipes. These are homemade so you will need some time to make.

Though 'lighter' and 'comfort food' generally occupy different places in my mind, I was delighted by this collection of meals, due to their truly lighter-yet-comforting nature. I plan to pursue some of these recipes as soon as I'm done paging through the book, and ranking the meals.
The text is properly 'literate' (clear, readable), and the photos are very appealing. Highly recommended.

Refreshed: Lighter, Simpler, Comfort Food is a book of comfort food recipes that have been tweaked to make them lighter and healthier than comfort foods typically have been. In a very touching preface, he dedicates the book to his mother, and wears pink chefs coats in support of others who are or were afflicted with breast cancer.
The recipes are fun, uncomplicated, and not adhering strictly to any low fat or low calorie scheme. As an example of the types of recipes in the book, take Sweet Potato ...more

I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
A book loaded with recipes for our well-loved comfort foods tweaked to make them healthier for us. The Sweet Potato Brûlée is amazing, and I am not ashamed to say that I have made it TWICE in the last week! Well worth having! Recommended.
