Amazon.com Review
Betty Crocker is on the health bandwagon. Not one for fads, Betty sensibly bases this 175-recipe cookbook on the Food Guide Pyramid guidelines recommended by the American Heart Association and many other medical and nutrition professional organizations. You learn tips for cutting down on fat and cholesterol, understanding the different kinds of fat, and making smart food choices for heart health. The idea is to reduce fat by making ingredient substitutions and small alterations, but not making drastic changes. The recipes are varied and creative and don't resemble "diet food": Ginger Shrimp Kabobs, Vegetable Potstickers, Stuffed Veal Chops with Cider Sauce, Vegetable and Ham Jambalaya, Curried Chicken and Nectarines, Caribbean Fish Salad, and Thai Shrimp and Rice Noodle Nests. The desserts include Chocolate Swirl Cheesecake with Raspberry Topping (only 20 percent fat!), Blueberry-Lime Torte (about 15 percent fat), and Double Chocolate-Date Cake (about 25 percent fat). Recipes are labeled with symbols indicating "low-calorie," "low-fat," "moderate-fat," "low-cholesterol," and "moderate-cholesterol," so you can choose how far you want to go. Each recipe has a hefty amount of nutritional information: calories, fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, carbohydrate, fiber, protein, vitamins A and C, calcium, iron, and diet exchanges. Cooks who love knowing what the dishes should look like will enjoy the 45 mouth-watering color photos. --Joan Price

 Best cookbook I have! July 16, 2008

I'm a vegetarian and my boyfriend is a meat eater with high cholesterol and we both love this cookbook. Our favorites are the mac n' cheese, pesto, and the chicken casserole with cornbread stuffing. (The worst thing we tried was something that was even bad -- just boring.) We haven't tried the desserts yet, but I bet they'll be yummy too!
The recipes we've tried are all pretty easy (I'm no chef!) and the ingredients are normal stuff you can buy at a regular grocery store. Everything we've tried tastes good in its own right -- not like, this is good for being lowfat. It's actually good.
Most important, it's great that we can literally trying anything in this cookbook and know that it's heart healthy and might even help us lose weight.

The recipes are easy to make and have ingredients that are easily found in the supermarket. So far my husband has liked everything I've made.
This book would go well with the book "Beach Lover's Guide to the Perfect Sandwich" also available on Amazon.com

Don't let this book pass, easy to read recipes( most with pictures) and
delicious tasting too. My husband and I have both lost 6 pounds since
Feb/08 using this and the American Heart Association Low-Fat, Low-
Cholesterol Cookbook, Delicious Recipes to Help Lower Your Cholesterol
My grocery bill has gone down since I'm not eating as much red meat (once
a week)The real factor will be if my cholesterol will be down when I go
back in August to have it checked.
TASTY, EASY AND YOUR GUEST WON"T KNOW JUST HOW HEALTHY THEY ARE EATING!
Low Fat, Low Cholesterol does taste good April 6, 2008

I was recently forced into a low fat / low cholesterol diet and was not looking forward to it. Was told my diet was now called "If it tastes good, don't put it in your mouth diet". This cook book has changed that theory completely. It has recipes that taste good and are low in both fat & cholesterol. Have recommended this cookbook to several friends and family if they want to eat healthier.
Good Solid Cookbook March 19, 2008

You can tell the recipes in this book have been kitchen tested, because they are good. Everything I've tried has been great. The recipes are modified for a low cholesterol diet so they are different from your standard recipes, but good nonetheless.
