Reviews

[Alicia · Rating 2 out of 5]

A collection of healthy recipes that includes lightened versions of favorite staples such as chicken pot pie and lasagna. I liked the front dinner party section and most of the recipes I copied came from there. The rest of the book featured the odd recipe I'm likely to make. Too many recipes called for 'frozen egg substitute, thawed.' I didn't know there was a frozen egg substitute, and if I have to thaw it anyway, why wouldn't I just buy the liquid egg substitute? Furthermore, that stuff is expensive.

Book verdict: I'm glad it's a library book.
