If you buy one cookbook, Healthy Helpings should be the one! September 25, 2008
Brandi
Norene is already a household name in every Jewish home in Montreal and Toronto and beyond - but her recipes extend well beyond kosher. Her books are great for anyone interested in healthy, delicious foods! She has written several cookbooks, each one better than the last. This book is my bible. Her recipes use basic household ingredients and they are healthy and delicious each and every time. I cannot recommend her cookbooks highly enough!
This cookbook sets the standard February 29, 2008
Terry (Pennsylvania)
This has become a standard in my household. Norene Gilletz has taken her knack for great tasting and easy to make recipes up to the next level. These dishes are healthy and she is always cognizant of good nutrition and great presentations. I've never made a recipe from this book that has disappointed.
I highly recommend this, and all her cookbooks. She makes cooking fun.

Barbara F. Backer (Charleston, SC USA)
I'm excited about receiving this addition to my cookbooks by Norene Gilletz. Her recipes always result in delicious dishes that please all palates. Choose any recipe - all are easy-to-follow and easy-to-prepare. You're sure to have success on the first try. Many of Gilletz's recipes are my family's and dinner guest's favorites. Recipes in THIS book are low-fat and often low calorie. Nutritional information at the bottom of each recipe helps fit a recipe into any dietary plan. I'm certain that any cook, new or seasoned, will enjoy using this book.

Recipe
If you invest in one cookbook in your lifetime, this should be it. Healthy Helpings is the most extensive cookbook I have ever owned. This book includes so many appealing recipes that I have trouble deciding what to make!
In addition to the recipes themselves, Norene Gilletz explains the history of her recipes, how to work with different ingredients, what food goes well together, how to present the dishes you prepare and how to vary her recipes. She also includes many health and nutrition tips and the nutritional information for each entry! There is so much extra, interesting information that I sometimes sit and read my cookbook before bed - the way most people would read a fiction book.
With the number of choices and variations offered, it would be easy as a reader to miss some of Ms. Gilletz's good ideas. However, the extensive index makes sure that you can find exactly what you're looking for. I will often choose an ingredient from my fridge and the Healthy Helpings index points me to all the recipes that include that ingredient (even if it was mentioned as a variation and not included in the basic recipe). I have a great time clearing food out my fridge this way!
The recipes in this book are easy to follow, tasty and are great for both family meals and for entertaining. This book provides healthy, creative ideas that I can serve at anytime - without anyone even having to know that they are helping themselves to healthy foods!
Awesome Cookbook - the best of the best! December 15, 2006
Crissey Guzman (Panhandle of Texas, United States)
I bought this cookbook after reading the reviews below and it was worth every penny! It has great, healthy recipes and great information on nutrition.
What I love most is that when you choose an entree, like fish, to cook, it gives you what you should pair with it, be it steamed broccoli and a salad or another recipe for veggies/side dish.
If you are looking for a recipe book that has great tasting food that is good for you, you have to get this book. It was worth it!
